Process Planning Method of Reconfigurable Combined Machine Tool Based on Genetic Algorithm
Aiming at the problems of low efficiency,unfavorable intelligence and automation of process planning based on manual design,a computer aided process planning(CAPP)system was studied,and a method of process intelligent layout based on genetic al-gorithm was proposed.A mathematical model was established by discretizing the processing area,and a genetic algorithm coding rule was formulated to adapt to the problem.The process planning matrix was obtained by solving the model based on the genetic algorithm.Final-ly,the reliability of the method was proved by the case of the actual production process planning of guide bushing machining.The results show that compared with the actual production process,the method can shorten the workload of several hours to a few minutes,which can greatly reduce the workload of craftsmen,improve the efficiency of process planning,and is conducive to the automation and intelli-gence of process planning.
