The review separates the intended operation from product-family assumptions and drawing-specific constraints.
| Review area | Assigned technical basis |
|---|---|
| Process purpose | Glass Edge Polishing: source-backed external reference facts retained from V3.2.1; only numeric facts are counted as numeric capability data. |
| Product geometry | Round, square, rectangular, wedged, stepped, flanged or drilled window |
| Typical input form | Flat sheet, blank, tube, rod or preform as applicable to the named process |
| Process limitations | Public supplier values are not universal; blank numeric fields indicate that no transferable public value was verified |
| Inspection basis | Dimensional and visual inspection; add microscopy, profilometry or interferometry when the drawing requires it |
Appliance Glass Window Features That Affect the Process
Product-form records describe typical geometry and inspection needs; the supplied glass grade and drawing remain controlling inputs.
| Product requirement | What to define |
|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Round, square, rectangular, wedged, stepped, flanged or drilled window |
| Dimensions and thickness | Small sensor windows through CNC rectangles up to 600 × 1000 mm supplier reference limits |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Fine ground, seamed, polished or chamfered; pressure and optical windows need controlled edge damage |
| Inspection | CMM or optical comparator, autocollimator or interferometer, transmitted-wavefront test, scratch-dig inspection and spectral test |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
