Pick and Place

Southern Machinery's S-EF30000 is a semi-automatic 8-head pick and place machine built for LED lighting boards. It publishes 25,000-30,000 CPH real speed, +/-0.1 mm accuracy, and a 310 x 1200 mm board envelope that places 1.2 m LED tube boards in a single pass, with a vision alignment camera on every head and motor-driven feeders instead of air feeders. This guide explains where semi-automatic placement fits in an SMT line, which LED products the platform suits, how it integrates with printing, reflow and inspection, the selection parameters buyers should confirm, and the cost-of-ownership case for motorized feeding.

S-600SV pick and place machine by Southern Machinery: long-board LED placement to 35,000 CPH, 600 mm boards, 0603-7474 components, LED tubes and strips.

S-800s eight-head SMT Pick and Place machine from Southern Machinery: 32,000 CPH, ±0.05 mm accuracy, SMEMA conveyor and sub-9-month LED line ROI.

SME24 auto nozzle cleaning machine by Southern Machinery: 24-nozzle jig, 3-6 min clean and 1-3 min dry cycles, DI-water cleaning for SMT mounter nozzles.

Phone motherboards are among the densest PCBAs in mass production: hundreds of 0402 and 01005 chips, fine-pitch ICs and board-to-board connectors placed on a board the size of a credit card. This guide explains how an SMT pick and place machine actually works — how nozzles pick components from tape-and-reel feeders, how vision alignment corrects for placement offset, and how speed (CPH) and accuracy decide whether a line is profitable. Southern Machinery builds and supplies SMT placement machines, feeders, nozzles and line peripherals from Shenzhen, China, serving 237+ EMS and OEM customers worldwide. You'll learn what to evaluate before buying a mounter, how placement fits between the printer, SPI, reflow and AOI, and where quality and ROI are really won.

Custom SMT gripper nozzle design and manufacturing from Southern Machinery. Gripper nozzles solve pick failures on odd-form parts, connectors, transformers, and shielding cans across SMT pick-and-place and THT auto-insertion lines. Learn typical applications, how nozzles fit into a complete PCB assembly line, key selection parameters, and the ROI and quality case for engineered end-effectors in smart EMS factories. Founded in 2011 in Shenzhen, China, serving 237+ global customers. Contact Southern Machinery today for a custom nozzle design and manufacturing quote.
