SJF1001 Jumper Wire Feeder for Odd-Form Machines
Hand-cut jumpers quietly break an otherwise automated line. The SJF1001 jumper wire feeder from Southern Machinery automates cutting, forming, and feeding of rolled tinned copper wire (φ0.5–1.2 mm) for odd-form machines.

SJF1001 jumper wire feeder for odd-form machines automates cutting, forming, and feeding of rolled tinned copper wire so a pick-and-place machine can place jumpers like any other component. According to the source catalog, it occupies one station, feeds at ≤1.5 s/piece, and is designed for high compatibility with SMT machines. Southern Machinery shows it installed on Panasonic, JUKI, YAMAHA, and Mirae odd-form machines.
Why does a single jumper wire still stall a modern line?
The fastest machine on your line is only as fast as its last manual step. Jumpers are often the part that never made it into the automated flow: someone cuts wire, bends legs, and places them by hand.
That hidden manual island is the real problem. Operators see a "mostly automated" line, yet quality depends on whoever is bending wire that shift.
What does the diagnosis look like on your floor?
Ask three questions: Are jumpers or odd-form parts hand-placed after reflow? Does that station vary by operator? Does your odd-form machine already have free feeder stations? If any answer is yes, the gap is a feeding problem, not a machine problem.
How do you evaluate a jumper feeder? A four-step model
- Define the jumper: wire diameter, pin span, and pin length.
- Check the envelope: compare it with the feeder specifications below.
- Check the host machine: station count, power, and mounting on your odd-form machine.
- Check changeover: how often will span or length change?
What are the SJF1001 key specifications?

Core mechanism, as specified: motor + ratchet + photoelectric sensor combined feeding; a replaceable forming mold that supports different spans and pin lengths; one set of adjusting wheels plus one set of fixed wheels for straightening; and a motor + cam moving cutter mechanism with cutting and forming cutters.
How does it fit an existing odd-form machine?
The source catalog lists installation cases rather than performance claims: Panasonic CM602 with tube feeder + bowl feeder, JUKI with tube feeder + bowl feeder + radial tape feeder, YAMAHA with tube feeder, and Mirae with tube feeder + bowl feeder + radial tape feeder. The takeaway: the jumper feeder is one of a family of feeders (axial, radial, tube, vibratory bowl, belt, label, tray) designed to share one machine.
What changes at changeover?
The catalog describes rapid 5-minute mold changes with adjustable pin span (6–40 mm) and length (3–5 mm), plus adjustable straightening. Actual changeover time depends on configuration and operator practice.
What about the wider line?
Jumper feeding sits alongside your THT and board-handling choices. Explore the THT machine range, board handling systems, and auto insertion solutions. Southern Machinery, founded in Shenzhen in 2011 and serving 237+ global clients, supplies SMT, THT, wave soldering, board handling, and inspection solutions.
What is the ROI logic?
Formula (example): Annual saving = (manual jumper minutes per board × boards per year × labor cost per minute) − feeder investment − wire/maintenance cost.
Example only, subject to final technical confirmation: Using your own figures for minutes, volume, and labor rate, the result depends on configuration. No ROI is guaranteed; price, lead time, and output are not specified in the source—contact Southern Machinery to confirm.
