SMEMA

The S120 wave unloader takes PCBA off the wave soldering exit and feeds the next machine automatically, so boards stop being moved by hand after soldering.

Most SMT investment is justified at the mounter, but the line's real pace is set at the end. Southern Machinery's SUL250 PCB magazine unloader takes finished boards off the conveyor and racks them at a selected pitch, with PLC control, four magazine pitch options (10/20/30/40 mm), SMEMA handshaking and a regulated pneumatic pusher designed to stage boards without damage. This guide covers what the SUL250 does, how it fits a complete SMT/THT line, the parameters buyers must confirm before ordering, and the line-balance economics of end-of-line automation. Southern Machinery has built SMT and THT peripheral equipment in Shenzhen, China since 2011 and serves 237+ customers worldwide.

Most EMS lines still need two machines to finish one mixed-technology board: an SMT Pick and Place platform for surface-mount parts, and a separate insertion machine for through-hole parts. Southern Machinery's S-600-OF is documented to collapse that split. It is a six-head, seven-camera placement machine that the manufacturer describes as placing both surface-mount and through-hole components, on a published PCB envelope of 400 x 360 mm, with an SMEMA-compatible inline conveyor. This guide covers what the S-600-OF is used for, its published specifications, where it fits in a PCB assembly line, and the parameters to confirm before you quote.
