Meet an Officer - Jack Reinke
Jack Reinke of Kyzen Corporation. Secretary, Space Coast Chapter SMTA
...we were a family of 15 children and 2 parents, living in a big old house on the South Side of Chicago
PERSONAL: Born in 1956, I was the youngest of 7 children at the time. My father passed away about a year later, at 36 of kidney failure, leaving my mother with children ranging in age from 11, down to me at only a year old. Even in the late 50's, times were pretty tough for a widow with 7 kids. Being so young, I only heard about it and don't remember much. About 6 years later, she remarried a widower who had 5 children of his own, and they proceeded to have 3 more together. So, for a very short and extremely chaotic few years, we were a family of 15 children and 2 parents, living in a big old house on the South Side of Chicago. Times were crazy, and by then I was old enough to remem ber. We were the talk of the Catholic school we all attended, rivaling one other large family in the parish with as many kids. It was a time when you never wanted your name called for kitchen patrol! Morning paper routes, summer yard work, snow shoveling in the winter, and baby-sitting were popular jobs all of us took on, as much as possible to help out. EDUCATION: Now a resident of the State of Michigan, I immediately enrolled at Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor, acquired my Associates Degree in Applied Science (with high honors) in 1976 and then went on to Michigan State Univer-
sity where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree (with honors) in Resource Development (Environmental Science) in 1978. Upon graduation from MSU, I migrated out of the Midwest and took a research position at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL), a grant-funded research lab on the DOE's Savannah River Site. Operated by the University of Georgia's, Institute of Ecology, it's located just across the river from Augusta, GA near Aiken, SC. During my 3 years there I conducted field and laboratory research on soil microbial activity, the fate of radioisotopes in the environment, and studied the effects of secondary effluent and oil irrigation on coal ash storage basins and pine forest floors. I presented my findings at various conferences, and also published a technical paper in an industry journal called Soil Science Society of America Journal pretty dull reading, but at least I became a published author. Along the way, I also learned there really was an alternative to those brutal Midwestern winters I had survived all my life (with much hardship), and promptly fell in love with the South, and all it has to offer, not the least of which is the weather. Less than a year later, I met a southern bell from Columbia, SC. Connie and I were married in her hometown of Lexington, SC in
1982, and then returned to Chicago, where most of my family still resided, for what we thought would be a couple years at most. Finally, 9 years later, in 1990, by then with a 3 yr old and another in the oven, we moved to Atlanta, where we have been ever since - blessed with 3 beautiful daughters, Rachel, 22 , Hannah, 19, and Grace, 17. EMPLOYMENT: After a brief pursuit of law (one month at Loyola School of Law in Chicago) following SREL, I started work at a bentonite clay mining company called American Colloid Company, whose headquarters then was located in Skokie, IL. I started in their products testing and customer support lab, until moving into sales of their construction products in 1984. In 1985, I joined WR GRACE & Co, as a sales engineer for their Dewey & Almy Container Products Division in Chicago. In 1990, GRACE relocated us to Atlanta, where I continued to help build their Metalworking Fluids Products, which were based on a recyclable package of synthetic machining coolants and aqueous alkaline degreasers (Daracool & Daraclean products) designed to replace oil and solvent-base counterparts. The advent of the Clean Air Act around 1990 prompted exclusive focus on compliant cleaners to replace solvents that were See Secretary, Page 3
Exploring AOI and X-Ray By Don Miller YEStech
Figure 1. Test Coverage Examples
Manufacturers of advanced PCB assemblies know that simultaneously producing costcompetitive products and meeting the quality expectations of customers are vital to their success. Driven by advancing board complexities and the desire to improve yields by
effectively using real-time process information, manufacturers are increasing their adoption of automated test and inspection technologies. Two of the guiding philosophies for the implementation of test and inspection technologies are prevention and detection. Prevention places the priority on process control and elimination of defects by implementing corrective action. Detection focuses inspection efforts on ensuring that no defective as-
semblies escape from the factory floor. A comprehensive test and inspection strategy often will use a combination of automated optical inspection (AOI), automated X-ray (AXI), in-circuit test, and functional test to ensure inspection coverage and yield rates are maximized (Figure 1). The sum of results from multiple inspection techniques far outweighs the capabilities of any one system See AOI, Page 4

alone. In addition, the process can be streamlined by delegating the inspection duties of the equipment to what it is best suited for, eliminating total dependency on any one method. With improvements in inspection technology come enhanced defect analysis and ultimately more accurate data. Although data collection is a critical aspect of process improvement, to ensure the process remains in control, you also must enforce a plan that provides immediate feedback. The benefits of this plan are quickly realized by minimizing the response time and cost caused by a process anomaly. AOI and AXI systems can address multiple tasks in various locations of the manufacturing process and have become the leading technologies in the quest to identify defects and improve process yields (Figure 2). Automated Optical Inspection When comparing the speed, efficiency, and flexibility of AOI to other test and inspection methods, the benefits are clear. For example, a typical manufacturing line may
use two to four inspectors to visually identify and repair component and solder defects. In contrast, an AOI system requires only one operator to detect and repair defects as well as collect all necessary data for yield improvements. This can either reduce the per-shift requirement for labor or enable reallocation of resources to another part of the manufacturing process. Because AOI systems can be placed in various in-line and off-line configurations, it is important to thoroughly analyze the factors that influence the overall yields to determine the best fit for your process. A return-on-investment model is an excellent
tool for estimating the benefits of the AOI system in different process configurations. The goal of this exercise is to reduce the cost per function and improve the current yield rates. If the main objective of your plan is to deploy a better defect detection system, then placing the machine at the end of the manufacturing line or in an offline location will be best for your model. If you are more interested in defect prevention, then you will want to insert the AOI system farther upstream in the process. Depending on individual requirements, the best results could be achieved by placing the machine at one or more of the following locations: post-print, pre-reflow, or post-re flow.
Figure 2. PCB Assembly Process and Inspection Points
In any of these scenarios, the reduction or reallocation of labor is of particular interest, especially when considering research has shown that, on average, human inspection is only approximately 50% efficient when detecting visible defects on PCBs. In contrast to human inspection, AOI delivers both accurate and repeatable results. In many installations, it has been tested with efficiency as high as 99%.

In any of these scenarios, the reduction or reallocation of labor is of particular interest, especially when considering research has shown that, on average, human inspection is only approximately 50% efficient when detecting visible defects on PCBs. In contrast to human inspection, AOI delivers both accurate and repeatable results. In many installations, it has been tested with efficiency as high as 99%.
