ACO-Based Holes Machining Path Optimization Using Helical Milling Operation

Article Preview

Abstract:

As a new-type, high efficient hole-making technology, helical milling is widely used in making holes on composites and composite-metal compounds materials in the aircraft industry. In this paper, the problem of machining path optimization using helical milling is converted to a TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem), a mathematical model is established and solved using ACO (Ant Colony Optimization). Simulation results show that with the application of ACO, the traveling efficiency of helical milling has been increased by 41.1%.
