S-H100 High-End Inspection Conveyor: An Ergonomic Multi-Zone PCB QC Station

The S-H100 high-end inspection conveyor from Southern Machinery gives EMS and ODM lines a dedicated, ergonomic station for manual quality control after reflow or wave soldering. Boards are presented at comfortable working height, held in defined zones, and sent on via SMEMA handshake—no reaching across, no dropped boards.

What Is This Machine?

The S-H100 is an inline inspection conveyor in Southern Machinery's board handling line. It runs in either inspection or automatic mode, indexes PCBs into precise multi-zone positions, and supports custom machine length and zone count. The S-H50 uses a 500 mm rail and the S-H100 a 1000 mm rail; both handle the same PCB envelope, so the real decision is throughput per station.

Confirmed Specifications

| Parameter | S-H50 | S-H100 |

|---|---|---|

| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 500 × 745 × 900 mm | 1000 × 745 × 900 mm |

| PCB size | 50×50 – 445×407 mm | 50×50 – 445×407 mm |

| Net weight | 68 kg | 85 kg |

Documented features include modular construction, inspection + automatic modes, multi-zone position accuracy, ergonomic arm supports, variable speed, a laser-cut stainless steel frame, SMEMA compatibility, and custom rail length/zone count.

Line Integration

Place the S-H100 after reflow, wave soldering, or automatic insertion as the QC gate before packing or testing. Its SMEMA interface connects directly to existing printers, pick-and-place machines, ovens, and conveyors without redesigning the line. The multi-zone setup suits AOI verification stations or manual touch-up workflows.

ROI and Productivity

A fixed-height, zone-indexed conveyor eliminates the constant bending and board-chasing fatigue that slows manual inspection. Founded in 2011 in Shenzhen, Southern Machinery serves 237+ global customers and prices board handling for fast payback—repeatable stations typically cover their cost within months.

FAQ

What PCB sizes fit? Both models handle boards from 50×50 mm up to 445×407 mm.

What's the difference between inspection mode and automatic mode? Inspection mode stops and indexes boards for operator QC; automatic mode passes them straight through to the next SMEMA-compatible machine.

Can length and number of zones be customized? Yes—rail length and multi-zone positions are built to each customer's requirements.

What's the difference between this and a buffer or reject conveyor? The S-H100 is an ergonomic manual inspection station. NG/OK buffers or reject conveyors (like the SRC-350C) sort boards automatically.

Is the S-H100 SMEMA compatible? Yes, for direct line integration.

What about lead time and support? The Shenzhen team at Southern Machinery provides global support and training. Contact them for current lead times.
