HIGH-PERFORMANCE GRINDING (HSG TECHNOLOGY) HAS BECOME A NEW INNOVATIVE CHALLENGE FOR MANUFACTURERS' ENVIRONMENTS IN INDUSTRY. THE HSG PROCESS HAS ACHIEVED SUCCESS IN THE FIELD OF ROUGH GRINDING. FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN REGARD TO MACHINE COMPONENTS AND GRINDING WHEELS ALLOW THE HSG PROCESS TO PENETRATE FURTHER INTO THE FIELDS OF FINISH MACHINING. HSG ADVANTAGES INCORPORATE HIGH MATERIAL REMOVAL RATES, STABLE MACHINE CONDITIONS, AND CONSISTENT PART QUALITY LEVELS, ALONG WITH LOW PRODUCTION COSTS. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF HSG TECHNOLOGY ON HSG MACHINES ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS PAPER.
