Abstract

Abstract : A new optimization algorithm of the path planning for spray painting robot of workpiece surfaces is proposed. This paper first provides the paint deposition rate function on a plane according to the experiment data. And the model of film thickness on surface is discussed. A multiobjective constraint optimization problem is formulated. An optimal tool path with an optimal time and film quantity deviation is generated. And the min-max method is adopted here to calculate the values. A workpiece, which is a free-form surface, is used to test the scheme. The results of experiments have shown that the path optimization algorithm achieves satisfactory performance. This algorithm can also be extended to other applications.
