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 | Glass Ring / Washer Machining: source-backed external reference facts retained from V3.2.1; only numeric facts are counted as numeric capability data. |
| Product geometry | Flat washer, shim washer, slotted washer, tabbed washer or stepped insulating washer |
| 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 Washer 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 | Flat washer, shim washer, slotted washer, tabbed washer or stepped insulating washer |
| Dimensions and thickness | 6.35–304.8 mm published circle-grinding diameter range |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Ground ID/OD with light chamfer; polished faces only when sealing or optical contact requires it |
| Inspection | Thickness mapping, ID/OD and concentricity measurement, flatness, edge-chip and cleanliness inspection |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
Glass Ring 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Thickness | 0.508 mm | Abrisa circle-grinding program |
| Maximum Thickness | 25.4 mm | Abrisa circle-grinding program |
| Minimum Part Size | Ø6.35 mm | Outer-diameter circle-grinding reference; rings/washers also require a separately qualified inner hole |
| Maximum Part Size | Ø304.8 mm | Abrisa circle-grinding program |
| Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.254 mm; up to ±0.127 mm | Abrisa circle-grinding program |
| Design item | What must be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Thickness and part envelope | 0.508 mm 25.4 mm Ø6.35 mm Ø304.8 mm |
| Tolerance and finish | ±0.254 mm; up to ±0.127 mm |
| Drawing review | For Glass Ring Cutting on Glass Washer, identify the glass grade, datums, processed features, edge and surface zones, quantity and inspection method. |
Inspection Focus for Glass Washer Ring 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 | Radial crack from fastener load, narrow ligament failure, wedge and particle-induced stack error |
| Product inspection | Thickness mapping, ID/OD and concentricity measurement, flatness, edge-chip and cleanliness inspection |
| Acceptance method | Flatness Measurement: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
