Die Cut Yield at 69% target die-cut yield: a worked example in gaskets, seals, o-rings & elastomer components

Suppose target die-cut yield falls to 69%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate die-cut gasket yield using accepted parts, total cut parts, and a target yield for the same sheet, die, and nesting pattern.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted die-cut gaskets: 1,880 gaskets (held at the documented default)
  • Total die-cut gaskets produced: 2,000 gaskets (held at the documented default)
  • Target die-cut yield: 69 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 96)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Die-cut yield = accepted die-cut gaskets ÷ total die-cut gaskets produced × 100.
  • Die-cut yield works out to 94 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Die-cut yield gap to target works out to -25 points at these inputs.
  • Accepted die-cut gaskets works out to 1,880 count at these inputs.
  • Total die-cut gaskets produced works out to 2,000 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target die-cut yield sits at 96% and the headline result is 94 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94 %.
  • It divides accepted die-cut gaskets by the total cut on the press and reports the percentage plus the point gap to your target yield. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
