Method for the complete grinding of workpieces in the form of shafts having cylindrical and profiled sections

A method for grinding workpieces, which comprise at least one cylindrical portion and profiled portion each, on one and the same grinding machine, which comprises only one workpiece headstock and one tailstock, wherein the cylindrical portion is ground with a first non-cylindrically realized grinding disk, wherein the workpiece is ground in a first grinding operation in a first clamping in the grinding machine, wherein

• the first clamping is released after the first grinding operation,
• in that then a second clamping is generated,
• in that the workpiece is subsequently ground in a second grinding operation and in that the profiled portion is produced as a result of profile grinding with a second, profiled grinding disk, wherein the workpiece is clamped between tips which define the clamping and rotation axis thereof and engage in centering bores provided in the end sides thereof, wherein one of the tips is arranged in the tailstock and in the first clamping position exerts an axially directed compressive load onto the workpiece which is, to release the clamping position, transferred into a pressureless state where the tip is still engaged in the centering bore and alignment of the workpiece is secured at its longitudinal axis defined by the centering bores.
