Yield Gain Visualization
The following section highlights the yield gains for this specified application. Both the input width and the output (slat width) remain unchanged with each iterated setups. As highlighted below, with each adjusted thinner kerf setup, additional slats are produced. This is done without sacrificing any stiffness and strength using Integral Flange Technology within in our blade design.

Description
The corresponding graph on the left highlights the service cycles for the blades over time. The following parameters define the sharpening cycle:
​
-
New/Retip Kerf = 0.078
-
Each Sharpening removes 0.0015"
-
Each cycle is characterized by 1 Retip and 5 Sharpening
-
Tool life depends heavily on the maintenance and operation of the tooling and machinery
