Inspection and Characterization
Besides the various inspection steps that have to be used during the production of a complex quartz component, also a comprehensive final inspection of the finished part following customer specifications must be done. Due to the fact that quartz glass is a unique material, very specific methods and skills are required to enable the proven and stable final inspection.
Among the standard inspection method at Heraeus Quarzglas are:
- 3D CMM (Coordinate measuring machine)
- Parallelism measurement
- Flatness measurement
- Optical tension measurement using polarized light and analyzer
- Roughness measurement
