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.

|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Rectangular plate, cover plate, stepped plate, grooved plate, base plate or machined panel |
| Dimensions and thickness | Up to 2,286 × 1,701 mm published BOROFLOAT stock reference; finished CNC envelope may be smaller |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Seamed for handling, ground for fit, polished for exposed edges, chamfered for assembly |
| Inspection | Length/width/thickness inspection, flatness map, edge microscopy, hole location check and cosmetic transmission inspection |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
Glass Notching 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Thickness | 0.76 mm | JNS/Abrisa CNC fabrication program |
| Maximum Thickness | >25.4 mm | JNS/Abrisa CNC fabrication program; upper limit stated as greater than 25.4 mm |
| Minimum Part Size | 50.8 x 50.8 mm | CNC program; workholding may require larger size for individual features |
| Maximum Part Size | 2286 x 1524 mm | CNC program envelope |
| Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.508 mm general; up to ±0.127 mm | Provider CNC program; feature, material and size dependent |
| Design item | What must be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Thickness and part envelope | 0.76 mm >25.4 mm 50.8 x 50.8 mm 2286 x 1524 mm |
| Tooling and process condition | Valley identifies 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machining as part of its precision fabrication platform. |
| Tolerance and finish | ±0.508 mm general; up to ±0.127 mm |
| Drawing review | For Glass Notching on Glass Plate, identify the glass grade, datums, processed features, edge and surface zones, quantity and inspection method. |
Inspection Focus for Glass Plate Notching 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 | Large-area bow, thermal gradient, unsupported span, corner stress and damage at cutouts |
| Product inspection | Length/width/thickness inspection, flatness map, edge microscopy, hole location check and cosmetic transmission inspection |
| Application failure modes | Chemical etching, thermal shock, path contamination, tube-end chips and seal leakage. |
