MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541084801 A) filed by Dr. B. Raja Bharathi; Dr. Sravanthi K; Stuti Srivastava; Dr. Thummala Venkatamuni; Md Farid Hossain; Mrs. S. Savitha; and R. Ashok Gandhi, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 7, 2025, for 'a system and method for optimized cnc machine tool path planning to reduce tool wear.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. B. Raja Bharathi; Dr. Sravanthi K; Stuti Srivastava; Dr. Thummala Venkatamuni; Md Farid Hossain; Mrs. S. Savitha; and R. Ashok Gandhi.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system and method for optimizing CNC machine tool paths with the objective of reducing tool wear and enhancing machining efficiency. The system comprises a predictive modeling module that estimates cutting forces, thermal effects, and tool wear progression, an optimization engine that employs hybrid algorithms to generate wear-aware tool paths, and a feedback integration module that adapts machining parameters in real time based on sensor data such as spindle load, vibration, and temperature. The invention produces optimized G-code incorporating adaptive feed rates, spindle speeds, and tool engagement strategies, thereby distributing cutting forces uniformly and minimizing localized stress concentrations. Unlike conventional CAM strategies that rely on static rules, the proposed invention combines predictive analytics, adaptive path planning, and closed-loop control to extend tool life, improve surface finish, reduce downtime, and lower operational costs. The invention is applicable across various CNC machining operations and supports Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing ecosystems."
