Time-Optimal Point-to-Point Trajectory Generation for G01 Segments

In modern CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining minimizing processing time while respecting kinematic constraints is critical for efficiency. This paper presents a novel approach for generating time-optimal, point-to-point trajectories for G01 segments, specifically designed to operate with low computational power and cost-effective hardware. The algorithm includes four key steps: inverse kinematics extraction, trapezoidal velocity profile generation, synchronization of movement times across axes, and the application of a genetic algorithm to optimize axis speeds between consecutive blocks. This method can handle arbitrary machine architectures and axis configurations, making it highly versatile.
