THE CURRENT LACK OF THE FOCUS ON THE PROCESS ITSELF IN PRODUCTION GRINDING IN THE INDUSTRY IS RECOGNIZED. THE WIDELY CHANGING METAL REMOVAL RATES AND WHEEL-WORK CONFORMITY WITH CAM ROTATION MAKE CAM LOBE GRINDING DIFFICULT AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO GRINDING BURN AND CHATTER. THE USE OF PROPER GRINDING WHEELS, METAL REMOVAL RATES AND OTHER GRINDING CONDITIONS IS THEREFORE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR CAM LOBE GRINDING PRODUCTIVITY. THE PAPER DESCRIBES HOW MONITORING THE PROCESS PARAMETERS OF GRINDING POWER, METAL REMOVAL RATES AND WORK ROTATIONAL SPEED IN PRODUCTION CAMSHAFT GRINDING CAN IMPROVE GRINDING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. MONITORED DATA AND RESULTS FROM ACTUAL HIGH-PRODUCTION CAMSHAFT GRINDING ARE PRESENTED AND NEW TECHNIQUES FOR GRINDING WHEEL AND PROCESS DEVELOPMENT ARE DESCRIBED. CONSIDERABLE PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED USING THIS PROCESS MONITORING APPROACH.
