Sheet Metal Stamping & Press Lines worked example
Strip Layout Yield at 99% target strip layout yield: a worked example
What does the result look like when target strip layout yield reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when strip layout yield in sheet metal stamping and press lines needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.
The inputs for this scenario
- Strip material lost to web and skeleton: 8 units (unchanged)
- Total strip material fed: 250 units (unchanged)
- Target strip layout yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Strip Layout Yield rate = affected amount ÷ total amount) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % 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 strip layout yield sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
- A figure at this level is achievable when target strip layout yield is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It captures the strip's scrap ratio by weight but not stamping speed or die complexity — a higher-yield layout may need more stations or slower feed, so weigh it against throughput.
Results at a glance
- Rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
- Gap to target: 95.8 points
- Affected count: 8 count
- Total count: 250 count
