Glass Cutting Line Dimensional and Edge Inspection

Inspection template for verifying cut glass dimensions, squareness, and edge condition coming off the cutting table before grinding or tempering.

Inspection Setup and Part Identification

• Job, lot, and part identification confirmed
  Record the job number, lot number, part number, and glass type being inspected.
• Inspection stage is immediately after cutting and before grinding or tempering
  Confirm the part is being inspected at the correct process step to catch defects before downstream value-added operations.
• Measuring tools verified and within calibration
  Verify tape, calipers, square, and other measuring tools are suitable for the required tolerance and have current calibration status if applicable.

Cut Dimensions and Tolerances

• Overall length within specified tolerance
  Measure the finished cut length and compare it to the job specification.
• Overall width within specified tolerance
  Measure the finished cut width and compare it to the job specification.
• Thickness matches job specification
  Verify the glass thickness against the specified material callout.
• Cut edges are free from overcut, undercut, and edge breakout
  Inspect all cut edges for visible overcut, undercut, breakout, or other geometry defects that could affect fit or downstream processing.

Squareness and Geometry

• Part squareness within specification
  Measure diagonal-to-diagonal variation or use the approved squareness method from the job specification.
• Corners are clean and consistent with no visible corner damage
  Check corners for chips, cracks, star breaks, or corner knockouts that could propagate during handling or tempering.
• Shape matches the approved cut pattern
  Confirm the part profile matches the approved pattern, including notches, radii, and cutouts where applicable.

Edge Condition and Surface Defects

• Edge condition acceptable for downstream grinding or tempering
  Rate the overall edge condition based on the approved glass quality standard and internal SOP.
• Edge chips, shells, and clamps are within allowable limits
  Verify visible chips, shells, and clamp marks do not exceed the allowable limit defined by the glass quality standard or job specification.
• No cracks, checks, scratches, or contamination affecting the part
  Inspect the cut part for cracks, edge checks, deep scratches, adhesive residue, or contamination that could affect processing or final appearance.

Handling, Housekeeping, and Corrective Action

• Glass is staged safely to prevent edge damage and breakage
  Confirm parts are placed on racks, separators, or carts in a way that prevents edge-to-edge contact and handling damage.
• Scrap, cullet, and broken glass removed from the cutting area
  Verify the area is clear of scrap and broken glass to reduce contamination, cut hazards, and rework risk.
• Corrective action documented for any non-conformance
  Describe any dimensional error, edge defect, containment action, rework decision, and escalation to supervisor or quality lead.
