Abstract

With the development of society and economy, mould processing enterprises have an increasingly strong need to reduce costs and increase economic efficiency. Improving the efficiency of the cutting process is one of the key links to achieve this goal, and the planning of the cutting path occupies a major position in it. Under the condition that the actual cutting distance is fixed, the shortest air distance becomes the goal pursued by enterprises. In this paper, the optimal cutting path problem for steel plates is studied, and the optimal paths under different cutting tasks are found by enumeration method and nonlinear planning model.
