Infrared dome is one of the key components of an infrared guidance vehicle. The optical properties of the dome such as transmission rate, type size and precision will affect directly the detector performance and impact ultimately on the system, therefore the optical manufacturing process of infrared dome plays an important role. In this paper a general optical manufacturing process of infrared dome may be analyzed and modeled by object-oriented Petri net (OOPN). Based on the performance analysis, the model boundedness can be verified, the processing production efficiency, the utilizing efficiency of the equipment and other statistical results can be achieved to improve the manufacturing process. The OOPN method simplifies the model effectively, at the same time the model is easy to be analyzed and has good reusability and extensibility. Studying on optical manufacturing process of infrared dome is not limited to the specific types of materials, the modeling result can be used by the same operation unit.
