Technological Requirements in Z-level Machining

For the Z-level machining, a tool-path linking procedure is presented. The linking problem is approached from the technological requirements, such as considering the machining constraints among the tool-path-elements, minimizing the tool-path length and reflecting the oneway/zigzag linking option. To simplify the linking problem, we develop a data structure, called a TPE-net, providing information on the machining constraints among the tool-path-elements. By making use of the TPE-net, the tool-path linking problem becomes a touring problem so that every node has been traversed.
