SMT & THT Automation Insights

S-MVF01 vibration feeder automates odd-form THT component feeding. Compatible with Yamaha, Juki, Panasonic, FUJI, UIC inserters — reduce manual insertion and improve repeatability.

Automate odd-form THT component feeding with the S-MVF01 Bulk Feeder. Reduce manual insertion labour, improve repeatability, and integrate seamlessly into

Manual insertion of MOS transistors, connectors and pin eyelet terminals is usually the slowest step on a power board line. Southern Machinery's S7020 Series PIN Eyelet Terminal Insertion Machine automates feeding, positioning, insertion and clinching of bulk or reel-packaged terminals at a published 12,000 CPH, turning a labor-intensive bottleneck into a repeatable high-speed process. Built in Shenzhen, China, for EMS factories and power-supply makers, it handles terminal thickness from 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm on boards up to 380 x 280 mm, with 360-degree insertion angles and inward or outward clinching. Read how it fits a complete SMT/THT line and what to evaluate before you buy.

Automate lead-free THT wave soldering with the S-WS450 from Southern Machinery: 450 mm PCB width, 4-zone preheat, dual wave, titanium pot.

The XG2000 auto insertion machine automates THT component placement for T8 LED lamp PCB assembly, reducing manual insertion labor, rework and line bottlenecks.

The S-7020 dual-head PIN eyelet terminal insertion machine from Southern Machinery delivers up to 12,000 CPH for odd-form through-hole components. IPC-9706 certified with ±0.2 mm placement accuracy, it handles PINs, eyelets, terminals, and connectors across PCB sizes up to 380 × 280 mm. Designed for EMS, automotive, power electronics, and industrial control manufacturers seeking to reduce manual insertion labor by over 40% while maintaining consistent quality. As part of Southern Machinery's S-7000 series, the S-7020 integrates seamlessly into mixed SMT–THT production lines with bulk and reel feeding options.
