Component Taping

Loose axial-lead resistors, diodes and capacitors are the cheapest way to buy through-hole components — and the hardest to feed into an automatic insertion line. Southern Machinery's axial-to-radial taping machine forms each component's leads, controls orientation and polarity, and tapes the parts into standard radial carrier tape, so a part that arrived in a bulk bag leaves as a feeder-ready reel. Building in Shenzhen since 2011 for 237+ global customers, Southern Machinery supplies this taping stage alongside its radial and odd-form insertion, wave soldering and SMT platforms. This guide explains what the machine does, where it pays back, how it fits a complete PCB assembly line, and what to evaluate before you buy.
