This paper describes the investigations and the results of an analysis of distortion compensation processes for profile grinding. Steel workpieces often change their residual stress state due to machining in a seemingly uncontrolled matter. Furthermore, in research as well as in the industry, the accurate representation of shape deviations during the cutting of slim profiled workpieces and their deformation handling is a major challenge. In this paper, a valid predictive model, developed for the compensation of distortions resulting from the effect of a laser-based treatment and a deep rolling, was calibrated by experimental data. The numerical design of these strategies provided a model for predicting compensation parameters to minimize profile grinding distortions.
