S-600-L Automatic SMT Pick and Place Machine by Southern Machinery

What is this machine used for?

The S-600-L is a six-spindle, single-gantry vision pick and place machine for EMS factories running LED lighting boards, appliance control PCBs, and general high-mix SMT assemblies. It places components from 0402 chips up to ICs under 15 mm using vision alignment.

Built for LED and mixed-technology boards

• Vacuum detection automatically compensates for pick failures and misalignment.
• 360-degree orientation with replaceable high-precision nozzles.
• PCBs: monolayer, multilayer, and soft boards via auto-adjusting track.
• Mounts 0402-2512 passives, LED 3528/5050, SOT-23/89/223/252, SOP-8/14/16, and ICs.
• Vision positioning programming takes about two minutes; optional CSV import.
• Runs in-line on an automatic conveyor.

Line integration

The S-600-L sits between a stencil printer and a reflow oven. Southern Machinery also supplies stencil cleaning, wave and selective soldering for THT joints, board-handling conveyors and loaders, plus SPI, AOI, and X-ray inspection.

ROI

A 1,000 kg six-head platform at 16,500-18,500 CPH replaces manual placement on LED and passives-heavy boards and holds +/-0.05 mm all shift. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsBIo5fv0Gs

FAQ

How many components per hour?

16,500 CPH on LED 2835, up to 18,500 CPH; the comparison table lists a 25,000 CPH maximum.

What is the largest board?

800 x 360 mm; PCB thickness 0.5 to 3.0 mm.

Can it run flexible boards?

Yes - the track adjusts for monolayer, multilayer, and soft boards.

Is it RoHS compliant?

The S-600-L places components; lead-free soldering happens at the wave or reflow stage.

What support is included?

One-year warranty plus lifelong service support and factory-price spares.
