T h i s paper describes conventional and ennanced methods fcr the mc,nitoring ar;d ccsrtrol of nachining processes with a limitation to cutting and grinding machine tools. The differences between the various methods and the corresponding equipment, software and strategies are considered as well as the reasons for the limited success o f some of the existing systems i n use. Furtnermore, the requirements of future monitoring and ccntrol systems are worked out. Therefore a systematic analysis o f present and future sytems and their components is made. Finally, the function of machining process planning and its influence on the performance and the reliability of the process is discussed.
