PROGRAMMING OF COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

摘要

The need for efficient and reliable tools for programming of CNC coordinate measuring machine is rapidly increasing in modern production. The proposed concept based on genetic algorithms assures generation and optimisation of NC measuring programs for measuring machine. Therefore the structure, undergoing simulated evolution, is the population of NC measuring programs. The NC measuring programs control the tactile probe, which performs simple elementary motions in the discrete measuring area. During the simulated evolution the probe movement becomes more and more optimised and intelligent solutions emerge gradually as a result of the low level interaction between the simple probe movements and the measuring environment. Different examples of CNC programming of measuring machine are given. Results show universality and inventiveness of the approach.
