Radial Insertion

Equipment preparation is the part of PCB assembly that decides whether an insertion cell is repeatable. This guide covers the pre-flight routine for THT and odd-form insertion machines: mechanical and structural checks, feeder loading and calibration, insertion-head debugging, software parameters taken from the PCB design data, material screening for tape-reel components, and first-article verification. Includes documented reference platforms - S-3010B and S3000 radial inserters, S-70LD odd form, S7020 / S-7000E / S-7000T terminal insertion - plus typical applications, full-line integration, key selection parameters and the ROI case. Southern Machinery, Shenzhen, China, founded 2011, 237+ global customers.

THT assembly is not finished when the SMD side leaves reflow. Every mixed-technology board still carries leaded capacitors, resistors, LEDs, relays or connectors that must be inserted into plated holes with the right position, angle and force. This practical guide for SMT and THT line engineers covers the component insertion machine board-insertion workflow — preparation, positioning and insertion force, per-component parameter setting, and post-insertion inspection — plus typical applications, full-line integration, key selection parameters and ROI.

Capacitors, resistors and inductors are the quiet majority of every PCB BOM, and they decide whether a board survives its warranty. This buyer-oriented guide explains what passive components actually do in a circuit, which machines place them on an SMT/THT line, how placement changes with the package, and what an EMS team should specify before buying equipment. It also shows where radial insertion fits between the chip mounter and the wave-soldering machine, and how automated placement cuts rework and field failures. Written by Southern Machinery, the Shenzhen SMT and THT equipment builder trusted by 237+ global customers since 2011.

Large radial electrolytic capacitors - the wide lead-span parts that anchor a power supply board - usually arrive loose in bulk bags, unformed and impossible to feed to an auto-insertion machine. Southern Machinery's bulk capacitor taping machine forms the leads, verifies polarity on every part and seals each capacitor into radial carrier tape, so a component bought by the kilogram leaves as a feeder-ready reel. Building SMT and THT automation in Shenzhen since 2011 for 237+ global customers, Southern Machinery supplies this taping stage alongside radial and odd-form insertion, wave soldering and board handling. This guide covers what the machine does, where it pays back, how it fits a complete PCB assembly line, and what to verify before you buy.
