Pultrusion & Continuous Composite Profiles worked example
Cut Length Yield at 99% target cut-length yield: a worked example in pultrusion & continuous composite profiles
What does the result look like when target cut-length yield reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when cut length yield in pultrusion and continuous composite profiles needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.
The inputs for this scenario
- In-spec cut lengths passing gate inspection: 8 units (unchanged)
- Total profiles cut in the run: 250 units (unchanged)
- Target cut-length yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Cut Length Yield rate = affected amount รท total amount) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 ft for rate, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for affected count.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total count.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target cut-length yield sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 ft, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 ft.
- A figure at this level is achievable when target cut-length yield is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It only counts length conformance at the saw; it says nothing about surface defects, void content, or off-length pieces that get recut and recovered.
Results at a glance
- Rate: 3.2 ft (headline result)
- Gap to target: 95.8 points
- Affected count: 8 count
- Total count: 250 count
