In the age of AI, AI can be utilized in a variety of ways to save customers time and money on CNC machining.
AI algorithms can optimize cutting paths to reduce material waste and machining time; analyze historical data and real-time sensor inputs to predict equipment failures and maintain them in advance, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs; and automatically generate and optimize tool paths to improve productivity. In addition, intelligent programming using AI reduces manual programming time and errors, helping customers reduce costs and increase efficiency in CNC machining.
Optimizing cutting paths through AI algorithms can effectively save CNC machining time and costs, as follows:
1. **Analysis model and path planning**: AI algorithm first analyzes the machining model, and based on the geometric features and machining requirements, uses the path search algorithm to plan a preliminary cutting path to ensure the shortest tool movement, the fewest turns, and to reduce the empty travel time.
2. **Real-time adjustment and optimization**: In the machining process, AI dynamically adjusts the cutting path according to the real-time monitoring of tool status, material properties and other data. In case of uneven material hardness, the path is automatically adjusted to avoid hard spots, preventing tool wear and prolonged machining time.
3.**Simulation and Verification**: Using AI to simulate different cutting path programs, through virtual machining verification, discover potential problems in advance, select the optimal path, reduce trial-and-error costs, improve machining efficiency and quality, and reduce material waste and machining time.
