Machine Vision Window Glass can be supplied and processed as Sensor Window when the exact grade or functional material duty, stock form, dimensions, thickness, edge and surface requirements are defined by the drawing. The assigned material or application record notes: Bandpass, angular response, humidity resistance, seal compatibility and package CTE determine the substrate. The assigned product record adds: Flat window, window lid, lens cap, wedged cover, coated aperture or patterned sensor cover.

Drawing-defined feasibility
Final feasibility is reviewed against grade, supplied stock, dimensions, thickness, holes, cutouts, edges, surfaces, quantity and inspection criteria.
How the Glass Type and Product Form Fit Together
The assigned technical records separate published material or application guidance from the dimensions and acceptance criteria that remain drawing-specific.
| Review area | Assigned technical basis |
|---|---|
| Material definition | Machine Vision Window Glass describes a function rather than one universal composition. State the actual glass grade or operating temperature, pressure, chemical, optical or sealing duty in the RFQ. |
| Product-form definition | Flat window, window lid, lens cap, wedged cover, coated aperture or patterned sensor cover |
| Typical materials | Borosilicate, alkali-free glass, fused silica, sapphire, filter glass, silicon or germanium according to sensor band |
| Application duty | Transmit the sensor band while protecting the detector or MEMS element from moisture, chemicals, particles and impact. |
| Inspection basis | Spectral/angular transmission, surface quality, dimensions/TTV, coating adhesion and environmental seal testing |

Geometry, Surface and Inspection Requirements
Product-family data is a planning reference. The drawing must identify the exact shape, critical zones and measurable acceptance limits.
| Product requirement | What to define |
|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Flat window, window lid, lens cap, wedged cover, coated aperture or patterned sensor cover |
| Dimensions and thickness | Package-scale windows through larger LiDAR covers; housing aperture and field of view govern |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Fine ground/chamfered outside clear aperture; sealing edge matched to hermetic or adhesive process |
| Inspection | Spectral/angular transmission, surface quality, dimensions/TTV, coating adhesion and environmental seal testing |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
| Manufacturing route item | Review requirement |
|---|---|
| Supplied stock | State sheet, plate, tube, rod, disc, wafer, blank or preform condition. |
| Compatible route | Precision cutting, edge finish, optical polishing, spectral coating, hermetic sealing preparation and clean packaging |
| High-risk geometry | Wrong spectral glass, coating shift, moisture ingress, seal fracture, fogging and housing-induced stress. |
| Drawing release | For Machine Vision Window Glass Sensor Window, define datums, critical features, edge and surface zones, quantity, inspection and packaging before releasing the route. |
Inspection Focus for Custom Machine Vision Window Glass Sensor Window Processing
Acceptance should connect every critical drawing characteristic to an instrument, fixture condition and stated limit.
| Review item | Project-specific focus |
|---|---|
| Product design risk | Wrong band material, angular spectral shift, humidity ingress, coating damage and housing-induced stress |
| Product inspection | Spectral/angular transmission, surface quality, dimensions/TTV, coating adhesion and environmental seal testing |
| Application failure modes | Wrong spectral glass, coating shift, moisture ingress, seal fracture, fogging and housing-induced stress. |
| Application inspection | Spectral/angular transmission, dimensions/TTV, surface quality, coating adhesion and environmental leak testing. |
| Acceptance method | Transmittance Measurement: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
| Feature-to-edge damage | For Custom Machine Vision Window Glass Sensor Window Processing, inspect chips, microcracks, breakouts and edge damage around processed features and adjacent walls. |
