Abstract:
To enhance the efficiency of numerical control machines for cutting of sheet material, a method of searching for the cutter trajectory as a path with ordered enclosing in the flat graph G = (V, E) corresponding to the cutting design is proposed. It is shown that this path can be represented as a sequence of no more than n/2 + 1 chains with ordered enclosing, where n is the number of odd-order vertices in G. An algorithm for finding the sought sequence of chains, with a complexity of O(|E|) is developed. © Nauka/Interperiodica 2007.
