Development Of Anfis Algorithm To Predict The Sheet Metal Cut Quality Of Carbon Dioxide Laser

The major trend in laser beam cutting industry is to produce a good cutting quality, which involve with cutting geometry (kerf width), cutting surface quality (surface roughness), mechanical properties (hardness) and metallurgical characteristics (dross inclusion) of the end product. This trend has...
