The focus of the thesis is on the complexity of centerless grinding. In an effort to create a
database that would facilitate and expedite the assembly of bids, basic parameters that have
the most significant impact on product quality have been determined. The research
methodology describes various process parameters, such as material removal, peripheral
speed, and pulling angle of the grinding wheel, speed and depth of sharpening, and the
geometry of the grinding area. The experimental part illustrates the effects of these
parameters on process quality, described by measurements of surface roughness and
roundness of the article. Additionally, statistical process control (SPC) was conducted, a
method increasingly demanded by companies, providing insights into the stability of the
process. It was found that by varying the settings of process parameters and predicting their
mutual interaction, results that are economically acceptable from the company's perspective
while satisfying the needs of their service customers can be achieved. The research showed,
and was confirmed using the SPC method, that the process met the most stringent quality
requirements (roughness, roundness) and consistently operated within control limits.
