Abstract

An urgent challenge in the manufacturing industry is increasing efficiency while decreasing energy consumption and environmental impact. Past studies addressing these issues have mainly focused on tool path optimization only considering machining efficiency. In this paper, we present a methodology to optimize the tool path for high efficiency, low energy consumption and carbon footprint in milling process. Firstly, the description and influencing factors of tool path are introduced. Then, a multi objective tool path optimization model with maximum machining efficiency, minimum energy consumption and carbon emission is proposed. Furthermore, the solution of the proposed model is introduced, which including two steps, one is the calculation of the number of cutter contact points (CCP), the other is using adaptive dynamic GA to optimize the connection sequence and ways of each CCP. Finally, the effectiveness and practicability of the method are verified by the machining experiments.
