The S-P500 Automatic Spray Fluxing System applies flux ahead of the Wave Soldering preheat zone, with twin atomising Nozzles and over 40% lower air use.
Accurate component counting is the foundation of a profitable SMT line, yet every manual count forces you to break the seal on a moisture-barrier bag and expose moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs) to humidity and ESD risk. Southern Machinery's AX6000 SMD X-Ray Chip Counter solves this with non-destructive X-ray counting that reads the exact component quantity through the sealed tape-and-reel — no opening, no unspooling, no re-taping. One-button operation delivers better than 99.8% accuracy on parts down to 01005 in under 10 seconds for a 7-inch reel, with automatic barcode scanning and P/N-and-quantity label printing. For EMS, OEM and distribution teams, it turns a slow, error-prone, package-damaging chore into a fast, documented quality gate that protects component integrity and inventory accuracy at every stage — from incoming inspection through kitting to outbound shipping.
A DIP line is only as fast as its slowest station, and that station is usually the manual odd-form insertion bench — transformers, relays, connectors and terminal blocks placed by hand at 4 to 10 seconds per part. This guide explains what a four-head component inserter is, how four parallel insertion heads change the takt of the THT block, and where the machine sits between board handling, radial insertion, wave soldering and AOI. It covers five real application scenarios, the selection parameters that decide fit, and the return-on-investment case for automating odd-form insertion.
