Streamline Your Workflow with SMT & THT Automation

The S7020T Terminal Insertion Machine from Southern Machinery automates AC clip, spring clip and terminal insertion on THT PCB assembly lines: two servo-driven heads place bulk or reel-packed terminals at up to 12,000 CPH, replacing a manual clip bench of at least five operators while holding vertical insertion error in the +/-0.01 class. This buyer guide covers the verified S7020T datasheet, vibration bowl versus reel feeding, inline conveyor integration into a complete PCB assembly line, an illustrative ROI calculation, a pre-quotation selection checklist and the six questions procurement and manufacturing engineering teams ask before ordering.

The S-100B Desktop Selective Soldering Machine by Southern Machinery delivers ±0.1 mm precision for R&D sampling and small-batch PCB assembly. Its compact 550×650×650 mm, 450 kg desktop footprint supports 350×300 mm soldering area and 0.2–6 mm PCB thickness, with jet-valve flux and a 12 kg solder pot integrating into SMT/THT lines to reduce rework, stabilize joint quality, and lower cost per joint. Built by Southern Machinery — founded 2011 in Shenzhen, serving 237+ global customers — it offers high-efficiency, cost-effective automation with global service, spare parts, and professional training for EMS, ODM, automotive and medical teams needing traceable, repeatable soldering without wave line overhead.

Three-hole and five-hole crepe paper splice tape with 300 N/m adhesion and 150 °C heat tolerance for axial and radial insertion machines. Keeps your THT insertion line running without splice-related downtime.

The S-EPCOS capacitor lead cut and forming machine turns loose, bulk EPCOS-style film capacitors into PCB-ready parts - leads trimmed, bent 90 degrees in X and Y, K-leg formed - at roughly 1,000 pcs/h with one operator. Tooled from your capacitor drawing, it removes hand-forming drift, cuts rework and scrap, and slots into the THT front-end of your PCB assembly line.

Odd-form parts do not arrive in tape. A distributor in South America needed a belt feeder and a gripper nozzle for an installed placement platform, and neither request had a part number. Here is the four-question method

Six product categories already supplied to a Mexican industrial partner. Then they asked about laser welding - as a potential distributor. Ten workstreams in two days, and not one of them was a price.
