A novel integrating between tool path optimization using an ACO algorithm and interpreter for open architecture CNC system

作者：

Highlights：

• Rebuild an open architecture CNC system to include tool path optimization using an ACO algorithm.

• G-code milling and drilling points were interpreted by LabVIEW software.

• The interpreted milling points were divided into groups, while the drilling points selected direct.

• Ant Colony Optimization method was used to find the shortest tool path.
