Quartz Plates
What Is a Quartz Plate?
A quartz plate is a flat sheet of fused quartz glass cut from block or tube stock, used as optical windows, view ports, substrates, etch-tank walls and machineable blanks. Quartz plates hold flatness through thermal cycling and transmit UV through IR depending on grade — properties borosilicate sheets cannot offer.
Specifications
| Parameter | Range |
|---|---|
| Thickness | [Confirm With Production] |
| Plate size | Standard and custom cut sizes [Confirm maximum dimensions] |
| Flatness / parallelism | Commercial standard; lapped for tighter flatness [Confirm capability] |
| Materials | JGS1 / JGS2 / JGS3 (grade comparison) |
| Surface finish | Cut, ground, lapped or polished (optical polish on request) |
Machining Options
Plates are highly machineable: drilling, slotting, pockets and custom outlines via CNC machining; edge and surface finishing via grinding and polishing. Cutting is done with diamond tooling for clean edges.
Applications
- Optical — UV windows, substrates, sight ports
- Semiconductor — etch-tank walls, covers and machineable components
- Laboratory — high-temperature inspection and support plates
- Industrial — furnace view ports and insulation supports
Quality Control
Thickness, flatness and surface condition checked per batch; optical-grade parts get additional surface inspection. See quality control.
FAQ
Which grade for a UV window?
JGS1 for deep UV; JGS2 for visible/near-UV. See the grade guide.
Can plates be cut to custom shapes?
Yes — outlines, holes and slots are cut or milled to drawing.
