SmartPath: an intelligent tool path optimizer that automatically adusts feedrates, accel rates and decel rates based on a set of rules and spindle torque defined by the user

摘要

SmartPath provides CNC machinists using CNC Controllers a database of cutting methods, which will be automatically applied when the CNC Controller anticipates the upcoming scenario. SmartPath acts as a database collecting information about the machine's stresses and the machine's ability to cut a part. The CNC Controller in real time gathers this information as the machine moves and then automatically adds the information to the database. SmartPath is a form of artificial intelligent learning gathering its knowledge from the feedback of the CNC machine controller as it cuts. The operator can insert and override any of the cutting methods or scenarios.
