S3000 Radial Insertion Machine – High-Speed THT Auto Insertion

What is the S3000?

The S3000 is a high-speed radial auto insertion machine designed for through-hole (THT) PCB assembly in medium-to-high-volume EMS production. It handles standard radial components including capacitors, transistors, LED lights, and key switches, delivering precise, repeatable insertion at a theoretical speed of up to 18,000 CPH.

Line Integration

The S3000 integrates seamlessly into an existing SMT/THT line alongside stencil printers, pick-and-place machines, wave soldering systems, and board handling conveyors. Its machine vision calibration system ensures precise coordinate correction for consistent quality across every board, while the non-rotary table design simplifies PCB transport.

ROI & Labor Savings

By replacing 3–5 manual insertion workers per shift, the S3000 delivers a rapid return on investment—often within 6–12 months depending on production volume. Typical applications include:

• LED lighting — high-mix LED panel and tube assembly
• Automotive electronics — relays, connectors, power boards
• Consumer electronics — TV, audio, home appliance PCBs
• Power supplies — ballast, energy-saving power boards
