Abstract
A method for monitoring a machining process in which tooth flanks of pre-toothed workpieces () are machined with a finishing machine () is disclosed. As part of the method, a plurality of measurement values are recorded while a finishing tool () is in machining engagement with a workpiece. Among them are values of a power indicator which indicates a current power consumption of the tool spindle during the machining of the tooth flanks of the workpiece. A normalization operation is applied to at least some of the measurement values or to values of a quantity derived from the measurement values in order to obtain normalized values. The normalization operation depends on at least one of the following parameters: geometrical parameters of the finishing tool, in particular its outside diameter, geometrical parameters of the workpiece and setting parameters of the finishing machine, in particular radial infeed and axial feed.
