| Inspection basis | Dimensional and visual inspection; add microscopy, profilometry or interferometry when the drawing requires it |
Sensor Window 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 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. |
Water Jet Glass Cutting References and Design Limits
Numeric values appear only when verified public process evidence is assigned. Proxy-family pages intentionally suppress numeric ranges.

| Minimum Thickness | 0.1 mm | Swift waterjet reference |
| Maximum Thickness | 304.8 mm | Swift waterjet reference converted from 12 in |
| Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.254 mm | Swift standard waterjet precision converted from ±0.01 in |
| Design item | What must be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Thickness and part envelope | 0.1 mm 304.8 mm |
| Tooling and process condition | 2 to 3 axes; OMAX states LAYOUT creates toolpaths and MAKE controls nozzle motion, abrasive and high-pressure water. 0.1 mm to 12 in mixed; Swift publishes a standard waterjet precision tolerance of ±0.01 inch. in; 2 to 3 axes; OMAX states abrasive waterjet has a thin kerf suited to intricate patterns. |
| Tolerance and finish | ±0.254 mm |
| Drawing review | For Water Jet Glass Cutting on Sensor Window, identify the glass grade, datums, processed features, edge and surface zones, quantity and inspection method. |
Inspection Focus for Sensor Window Water Jet 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 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. |
