A THT auto insertion machine handles bulk electronic components—capacitors, LEDs, diodes, transistors, connectors, and terminals supplied loose, in tubes, or on radial tape—by feeding each part to a fixed pick position,
Southern Machinery designs and manufactures custom odd-form component tray feeders for THT auto-insertion cells in smart EMS PCB assembly lines. Tray feeders present connectors, relays, transformers, and other irregular through-hole parts at a precise pick position, replacing error-prone manual DIP insertion with consistent, automated placement. This guide covers what a tray feeder does, typical applications in power supply, appliance, automotive, and LED electronics, how it fits a complete SMT/THT line with wave soldering and board handling, and the key parameters buyers must evaluate. Includes ROI and quality perspective plus FAQ for EMS factories.
