Use this checklist only after confirming that the machine has a separate printed front panel, graphic overlay or related external interface component.
HTML checklist and printable PDF
The HTML version stays readable on mobile. The PDF is optional for internal review or supplier comparison.
1. Part identity
- Machine model and variant recorded
- External panel part number recorded
- Current drawing and artwork revision recorded
- Superseded revision and stock disposition recorded
2. Artwork and geometry
- Approved artwork file and date recorded
- Display-window cutout and tolerance confirmed
- Legend, icon, color and finish revision recorded
- Adhesive or lamination specification recorded when applicable
3. Production and inspection
- Approved sample or first-article reference recorded
- Inspection criteria and record ID defined
- Production lot or effective serial range recorded
- Material and adhesive revisions match the approved record
4. Service replacement
- Service-stock revision matches the machine variant
- Replacement identification shows the correct revision
- Production and service records point to the same approved part
Is Your Interface Component Within Our Scope?
Choose the closest description. This first step avoids treating a complete LCD or HMI controller as a printable front-panel project.
Frequently asked questions
How are artwork and cutout revisions controlled?
Use one linked revision set with the approved artwork, cutout geometry, datum, tolerance, material and effective date.
Is this checklist for complete HMI modules?
No. It is for a separate printed front panel, graphic overlay or confirmed external interface component.
What evidence is enough to start?
A front and back photo plus a model or drawing reference can establish whether the panel is separate and which records are missing.
