Using Genetic Algorithms To Optimize Guillotine Cutting Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents an application to optimise the use of an Lcut guillotine machine. The application has two distinct parts to it; first, a number of rectangular shapes are placed on as few metal sheets as possible by using Genetic Algorithms. Secondly, the sequence for cutting these pieces has to be generated. The guillotine’s numeric control then uses this sequence to make the cuts.

Construction heuristics for two-dimensional irregular shape bin packing with guillotine constraints
The paper examines a new problem in the irregular packing literature that has existed in industry for decades; two-dimensional irregular (convex) bin packing with guillotine constraints. Due to the cutting process of certain materials, cuts are restricted to extend from one edge of the stock-sheet to another, called guillotine cutting. This constraint is common place in glass cutting and is an ...
متن کاملComparison of Meta-heuristic Hybrid Approaches for Two Dimensional Non-guillotine Rectangular Cutting Problems
In this paper, six different approaches using genetic algorithms (GA) and/or simulated annealing (SA) with improved bottom left (I-BL) algorithm [1] were applied for solution of two dimensional non-guillotine cutting problems. As examples, test problems including 29 individual rectangular pieces were used [2]. Performances of hybrid approaches on solutions of cutting problems were compared. Due...
متن کاملAnalysis of PVC Frames Cutting by Guillotine and Presenting Solution on Preventing Imperfection
PVC frame cutting process by guillotine is a common method that attracted attention of car parts and PVC decorating furniture producers. In this paper, the effects of main parameters such as cutting speed, lubricants and cutting frame holder pressure force on PVC frame section surface smoothness is investigated by experimental methods on a specified PVC frame sample and then by FEM simulation u...
متن کاملOptimization of the retail steel distribution industry
The present work proposes new heuristics and algorithms for the 3D Cutting and Packing class of problems. Specifically the cutting stock problem and a real-world application from the retail steel distribution industry are addressed. The problem being addressed for the retail steel distribution industry is the retail steel cutting problem, which is how to cut steel in order to satisfy the custom...
متن کاملA simple approach to the two-dimensional guillotine cutting stock problem
Cutting stock problems are within knapsack optimization problems and are considered as a non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard problem. In this paper, two-dimensional cutting stock problems were presented in which items and stocks were rectangular and cuttings were guillotine. First, a new, practical, rapid, and heuristic method was proposed for such problems. Then, the ...
