1986年，一家汽车制造商开始了近年来规模最大的生产研磨研发试验之一；世界上第一条CBN CAMLOBE研磨机大批量生产线的开发。这项实验取得了成功，实现了生产率和质量水平，同时逐步将模具成本降低到低于传统研磨工艺的成本。本文综述了陶瓷化立方氮化硼磨削凸轮的研究进展和成果。

IN 1986 AN AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER BEGAN WHAT WAS ONE OF THE LARGEST R&D EXPERIMENTS IN PRODUCTION GRINDING IN RECENT TIMES; THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIRST HIGH VOLUME LINE OF CBN CAMLOBE GRINDERS IN THE WORLD. THE EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS, ACHIEVING PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY LEVELS WHILE PROGRESSIVELY REDUCING TOOLING COSTS TO BELOW THOSE OBTAINED WITH CONVENTIONAL ABRASIVE PROCESSES. THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE DEVELOPMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN CAMLOBE GRINDING WITH VITRIFIED CBN.
