Abstract
Nowadays, many industries use the Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) drilling machines in industrial operations. It takes a long time to find optimal tour for large number of nodes (up to thousands). To achieve more effective results, optimization systems approach is required to be equipped in drilling machine. Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of optimization method that gives fast near optimal solution for the drilling machine movement using novel friendly techniques. This paper describes the development of that CNC PCB drilling machine with novel approach to Euclidean TSP. This design can be widely applied to various CNC PCB drilling machines in small and medium scale manufacturing industries.
