L-R, Scott Nelson, Eileen Hibbler, Mike McEntee of Sypris Test and Measurement and Todd Barham. Manufacturing Engineer Speaker: Scott Nelson, Harris Corporation Scott Nelson is a Manufacturing Engineer at Harris Corporation. He has over 15 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, primarily in the avionics field. During his current employment at Harris Corporation, Scott has been a project leader for advanced manufacturing processes, has been involved in numerous solder joint reliability studies, and has been the leader of the Harris Leadfree Working Group since 2004. During this time, he authored a whitepaper on X-ray Inspection Radiation Exposure Damage of Electronic Components and Lead-Free Wave Soldering for Hi-Reliability Applications. Currently, Scott is working in manufacturing research and development at Harris Corporation and is an active participant in the NASA DoD Lead-free Study and the AIA LEAP Working Group
Secretary, continued from Page 2 being regulated out of use to protect the atmosphere. ASSOCIATIONS: I have been a member of SMTA since joining Kyzen in 1997. Along with the national association, I am active in both the Atlanta and Tampa chapters, and more recently, the new (4 yrs old) Space Coast Chapter, where I have been the secretary since early 2008. I was recognized for long-standing membership in the SMTA with a milestone award presented to me at the Space Coast Chapter 25th Anniversary meeting last July 16th (image attached). While I was a mem-
ber of SME in my days of GRACE in Chicago, I also received a milestone award for 5 yrs of continuous membership with the Sun Coast Chapter of SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers) at the 2009 Officer Installation Dinner December 10th in Clearwater, FL. Over the years, I have also presented or led panel discussions on cleaning technology at both SMTA and SME Chapter meetings across the State of Florida and at the Atlanta EXPO last year, proceedings of which are all available for prospective publication in future newsletters. I think we can sustain our chapter momentum by continuing to offer timely, interesting and worthwhile topics, in a panel discussion
format to engage the audience in active dialogue with industry experts. People are there to learn something and if those who attend take back favorable reports to management, they will continue their patronage, and encourage further participation by others at their companies, ultimately increasing membership. Increased industry membership should be our goal over the next 2 years, followed by many new faces in both audience and officer ranks over the next 5 years. Keep it fresh! HOBBIES: Fishing & camping

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-reflow. 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%.
