|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Flat cover, display cover, domed/pressed lighting cover, LiDAR cover or equipment guard window |
| Dimensions and thickness | Small sensor covers through equipment panels; provider examples include custom lighting discs and CNC panels |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Seamed/ground for concealed covers, polished or chamfered for exposed edges |
| Inspection | Cosmetic inspection, dimensions, haze/transmission, coating/print registration, impact/environmental and assembly-seal tests |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
Glass Beveling References and Design Limits
Numeric values appear only when verified public process evidence is assigned. Proxy-family pages intentionally suppress numeric ranges.

| Maximum Thickness | 50.8 mm | Abrisa edge grinding/polishing program |
| Minimum Part Size | 19.05 x 19.05 mm | Converted from the source imperial value 0.75 x 0.75 in; the source page metric text is inconsistent |
| Maximum Part Size | 533 x 533 mm | Abrisa edge grinding/polishing program |
| Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.254 mm; up to ±0.05 mm for parts 127 x 127 mm or smaller | Abrisa edge program |
| Parallelism | ±0.0127 mm | Swift edge-finishing equipment; converted from 0.0005 in |
| Design item | What must be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Thickness and part envelope | 0.813 mm 50.8 mm 19.05 x 19.05 mm 533 x 533 mm |
| Tooling and process condition | Cat-i states that beveling uses diamond-based tooling to grind angled surfaces into glass. |
| Tolerance and finish | ±0.254 mm; up to ±0.05 mm for parts 127 x 127 mm or smaller |
| Drawing review | For Glass Beveling on Glass Cover, identify the glass grade, datums, processed features, edge and surface zones, quantity and inspection method. |
Inspection Focus for Glass Cover Beveling Processing
Inspect the processed feature together with adjacent edges, surfaces, wall sections and functional zones.
| Review item | Project-specific focus |
|---|---|
| Process defects | Chipping, cracking, subsurface damage, dimensional error, contamination or surface defects as applicable |
| Process limitation | Public supplier values are not universal; blank numeric fields indicate that no transferable public value was verified |
| Design condition | Define material grade, thickness, geometry, edge distances, datum scheme, surface/edge acceptance and inspection method |
| Product design risk | Impact breakage, edge damage, thermal shock, coating/print misregistration, glare and seal leakage |
| Product inspection | Cosmetic inspection, dimensions, haze/transmission, coating/print registration, impact/environmental and assembly-seal tests |
| Application failure modes | Sensor dropout, contamination, clamp fracture, coating wear, glare and maintenance damage. |
