Abstract :
In 5-axis flank milling, tool path planning is of great significance since the machining error can be systematically reduced by optimization of tool path planning. Therefore, various optimization methods for tool path planning have been developed. This paper proposes a simplified electromagnetism-like mechanism (EM) algorithm to optimize the tool path planning. Based on the experimental results, we can see that the proposed method owns excellent performance compared with original EM (OEM) algorithm and PSO algorithm. Moreover, we also study the parameter selection of EM algorithm according to different processing surface.
