SMT & THT Automation Insights

Auto insertion machines replace manual DIP assembly for radial and odd-form THT components — and buying from China means the machine must also survive overseas freight. This guide explains what a THT auto insertion machine does, where it delivers the fastest payback, and how Southern Machinery (Shenzhen, founded 2011, 237+ global customers) prepares, protects, and export-packs machines for EMS factories worldwide. We cover typical applications, how an inserter fits into a complete SMT/THT line, the selection parameters buyers should compare, and the ROI case for replacing manual insertion.

Auto-insert wide-span radial components up to 15mm lead pitch with Southern Machinery radial inserters — cutting manual THT insertion loss and rework.

Automate radial THT component insertion with Southern Machinery's S-3010 machine: 22,000 CPH rated speed, four lead spans, machine vision, automatic clinching.

The TO-90 90-degree bend radial insertion machine automates low-profile THT assembly of tall capacitors and LEDs for EMS, power supply, and LED lighting lines.

A lights-out THT line runs through-hole PCB assembly with minimal operators: automatic radial, axial and odd-form insertion, lead-free wave soldering and board handling linked in one continuous flow. This guide explains what a lights-out THT line is, what it is used for, the Southern Machinery machines that build it, typical applications across power supplies, LED lighting and home appliances, key selection parameters, and the ROI case for replacing manual DIP insertion. Southern Machinery (Shenzhen, China, founded 2011) has served 237+ global customers with SMT/THT/PCB assembly automation.
