This study implements a high-precision camshaft profile grinding system by retrofitting the C-axis and X-axis structures of an existing cylindrical grinding machine and integrating CNC variable monitoring and control functions based on the manufacturer-provided Programming Package. The original inverter-driven C-axis was replaced with a servo motor to enable precise angular positioning, while a linear scale was additionally applied to the X-axis to establish a closed-loop system capable of high-precision infeed control. Changes in the grinding wheel diameter due to dressing are compensated by real-time monitoring of internal CNC variables, enabling regeneration of the profile grinding program to prevent degradation of form accuracy. Perfomance evaluation showed that the camshaft profile accuracy was maintained within ±4 μm, and the consistency of the profile was sustained within ±2.5 μm over repeated grinding cycles. This study presents a practical technological foundation for converting cylindrical grinding machines into profile grinders capable of precision machining of non-circular components such as camshafts.
