description A multi-objective grasshopper optimization algorithm (MOGOA) with an adaptive curve c(t) and the enhanced Levy fight strategy (CLMOGOA) was proposed to optimize the process parameters of rotary screen coating, setting the thickness and uniformity of the adhesive layer on the structural plates in spacecraft as its optimization objectives. The adaptive curve strikes a balance between global exploration and local development and accelerates the convergence speed. The enhanced Levy strategy helps the algorithm to escape local optimizations, increases the population diversity, and possesses dual searching capabilities. After multiple runs, the average values of the CLMOGOA’s reverse generation distance were 0.0288, 0.0233, and 0.1810 on the test sets, which were less than those of the MOGOA. The best Pareto-optimal front obtained by the CLMOGOA had a higher accuracy and better coverage compared to that of the MOGOA. Thus, it is indicated that the CLMOGOA managed to outperform the MOGOA on the test functions. In order to solve the optimization problem, 108 sets of process experiments were designed, and then the experimental data were used to train a Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), a Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM), and Random Forest (RF) to obtain the best prediction model for the process parameters. Considering the thickness and uniformity of the adhesive layer as the objectives, the improved algorithm was used to optimize the prediction model to obtain the optimal process parameters. The actual coating effect showed that the optimization algorithm improved the efficiency and qualification rate of the product.
