Glass Cutting Computer Control System Based On ACS

Ant Colony System is the abstract simulation of biological (ants) group behaviors, such as transmitting simple information between the biological individual, and searching the shortest path between the food and the nest. ACS has advantages of distribution of computing, information feedback and the heuristic search feature.Glass decorative material products have been great demand in daily life. The glass cutting is the pre- procedure of glass deep processing, and its degree of automation and utilization of raw materials glass is very important for the cost.The purpose of glass typesetting is to optimize automatic typesetting, reduce load of work, simplify the cutting processes, speed up the pace of typesetting, improve the material utilization, and reduce the cost of products. The research is not only meaningful in theory, but also valuable in practice.We accomplish the system of glass cutting, and with the control software, we can optimize glass automatic typesetting, control cutting machine, and process the original piece of glass into a range of glass products as required.On the basis of the brief introduction about glass cutting control system, we focused on how to realize the optimized glass typesetting on the foundation of ACS. We have mainly done such jobs: the software design of glass cutting computer control system(including the work interface, and various database design and data processing visit), optimization typesetting of raw materials(mainly discussed the layout of rectangle glass pieces using ACS and cutting trails (TSP)offer a good result in short time).
