Cover glass – functional design meets industrial precision

The cover glass is more than just the protective layer of an HMI system – it shapes the design, protects the electronics and influences usability and visibility. We supply custom cover glasses, precisely matched to your requirements in terms of function, form and optics.

Cover glass – inspection and handling in the cleanroom Cover glass – visual inspection & quality control Cover glass – optical surface and front design

Technical cover glasses: finishing, black panel effect and precise surfaces – tailored to your HMI application.

Our expertise in technical cover glass

Material selection, machining, finishing and functional effects – tailored to your HMI application.

Material selection & glass types

  • Chemically strengthened glass (e.g. Gorilla®, Dragontrail®)
  • Thermally toughened glass
  • White glass or float glass in various thicknesses (typically 0.55–5 mm)
  • Other special glasses on request

Design & machining

  • Free-form contours and technical cut-outs
  • Edge processing (e.g. C-edge, 2D/2.5D, chamfered, polished)
  • Optional: laser cutting for complex shapes or apertures

Surface finishing & protection

  • Anti-reflective (AR) – optimal readability in bright environments
  • Anti-glare (AG) – reduced stray light & glare
  • Anti-fingerprint (AF) – oleophobic, easy to clean
  • Antibacterial coatings – e.g. for medical applications
  • Shatter protection films for increased safety (e.g. IK requirements)

Functional integration & effects

  • Screen printing (including multi-colour or metallic / luminous effects)
  • Black panel effect – display remains invisible until activation
  • Dial-wheel function – capacitive rotary control directly in the glass
  • UV / IR filters – integrated as film or in the glass stack
  • Compatible with PCAP sensors and optical bonding (OCR / OCA)

Perfectly matched to your HMI

From material selection and edge processing to black panel, screen printing and filters: we supply the front glass precisely matched to your product design and target environment.
