Custom Glass Cutting
Precision Glass Cutting: source-backed external reference facts retained from V3.2.1; only numeric facts are counted as numeric capability data.
Feature-specific approval
Tool access, wall section, edge distance, finish, datums, tolerance and inspection method must be approved for the actual drawing.
Compatibility Between the Product Geometry and Process Route
The review separates the intended operation from product-family assumptions and drawing-specific constraints.
| Review area | Assigned technical basis |
|---|---|
| Process purpose | Precision Glass Cutting: source-backed external reference facts retained from V3.2.1; only numeric facts are counted as numeric capability data. |
| Product geometry | Positive/negative meniscus, bi-convex/concave, plano-convex/concave and asphere |
| 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 |
Glass Lens 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 | Positive/negative meniscus, bi-convex/concave, plano-convex/concave and asphere |
| Dimensions and thickness | 10 to 90 mm cited HT/HTultra lenses; custom aspheres up to 200 mm diameter |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Centered ground edge, bevel or protective chamfer |
| Inspection | Interferometry, centration, focal/power test, surface-imperfection inspection and spectral measurement |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
Custom Glass Cutting References and Design Limits
Numeric values appear only when verified public process evidence is assigned. Proxy-family pages intentionally suppress numeric ranges.
| Process parameter | Reference value | Applicable condition |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Thickness | up to 10 mm | Blade dicing reference for flat substrates |
| Design item | What must be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Thickness and part envelope | up to 10 mm |
| Tooling and process condition | 0.01 to 0.05 mm; DISCO describes a synthetic-diamond abrasive blade with an outer diameter around 50 mm.; 50 µm to 10 mm; 50 µm to 50 mm; DISCO separates glass laser processing into continuous-wave and pulsed operation. 0.1 mm to 12 in mixed |
| Drawing review | For Custom Glass Cutting on Glass Lens, identify the glass grade, datums, processed features, edge and surface zones, quantity and inspection method. |
Inspection Focus for Glass Lens Glass Cutting
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 | Wrong glass melt data, centration error, edge stress, coating mismatch and cosmetic-system ambiguity |
| Product inspection | Interferometry, centration, focal/power test, surface-imperfection inspection and spectral measurement |
| Acceptance method | Scratch-Dig Inspection: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
