Dispense Rate Achievement at 99% target output achievement: a worked example

What does the result look like when target output achievement reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. a bonding technician needs to verify that the dispenser can maintain the required bead or shot output

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual dispense output: 42 ml/min (unchanged)
  • Required dispense output: 50 ml/min (unchanged)
  • Target output achievement: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Dispense output achievement = actual dispense output รท required dispense output) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 84 % output for dispense output achievement, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 points for output gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 42 ml/min for actual dispense output.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 50 ml/min for required dispense output.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target output achievement sits at 95% and the headline result is 84 % output, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 84 % output.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when target output achievement is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It is a steady-state output ratio and does not capture short-shot timing, bead placement, or intra-cycle flow variation, which can fail a joint even at 100% average achievement.

  • Dispense output achievement: 84 % output (headline result)
  • Output gap to target: 15 points
  • Actual dispense output: 42 ml/min
  • Required dispense output: 50 ml/min
