Lamination Yield at 68% lamination yield target: a worked example in printed electronics & flexible hybrid electronics

This worked example runs the lamination yield numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% lamination yield target instead of the typical 95%. Lamination yield tracks how cleanly you bond cover layers, adhesives, and encapsulants onto printed flexible circuits without bubbles, wrinkles, or delamination.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Delaminated or failed laminated pieces: 8 units (held at the documented default)
  • Total pieces laminated in the batch: 250 units (held at the documented default)
  • Lamination yield target: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Lamination Yield rate = affected amount รท total amount.
  • Rate works out to 3.2 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to target works out to 64.8 points at these inputs.
  • Affected count works out to 8 count at these inputs.
  • Total count works out to 250 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where lamination yield target sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • Use it after a lamination run to log defect rate, or during a shift to check whether the station is drifting against its yield target. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Gap to target: 64.8 points
  • Affected count: 8 count
  • Total count: 250 count
