Product overview
Controlled insertion for radial component assembly
The S3000 platform feeds taped components, brings each part to the insertion position, moves the PCB to programmed coordinates and completes insertion into the board. The supplied manual describes an X-Y worktable, component transfer mechanism, insertion head and lead cutting and bending base as part of the process.
- 01 FeedPrepared taped components enter the programmed feed path.
- 02 PositionThe PCB moves to the insertion coordinate.
- 03 InsertThe insertion head places the component into the PCB holes.
- 04 FinishLeads are cut and bent to secure the inserted component.

Key features
Built around a repeatable radial insertion process
The following points reflect the supplied S3000 product material and manual. Final machine configuration should follow a review of the component, package and PCB design.
02
Servo and lead screw assembly
The supplied materials describe a servo motor and lead screw insertion unit for controlled component handling and movement.
03
PCB coordinate positioning
The supplied manual describes an X-Y worktable that moves the PCB to the programmed insertion position.
04
Lead cut and bend stage
The mechanism described in the manual cuts, bends and fixes the leads after they enter the PCB holes.
05
Feeder station planning
The S3000 PDF lists 10 stations as the recommended number of feeder stations for the standard specification.
06
Project evaluation
Component package, dimensional limits, lead span and PCB data can be reviewed before final machine and feeder configuration.

Flexible Feeding Solutions for Taped Components
The supplied manual describes a feeder that separates taped components according to the insertion program and transfers them to the chain clips. It also notes compact and standard feeder choices according to customer need.
01
Review the package
Share a component photo, package style, dimensions and lead span for a technical check.
02
Select the feeder format
Compact or standard feeder options can be considered against the part and the production requirement.
03
Confirm the final configuration
Southern Machinery can recommend the appropriate machine and feeder arrangement after evaluation.

Evaluation FAQ
Information Needed for an Insertion Evaluation
A practical review starts with the component and board data, rather than a general machine request alone.
What information should I send?
Please send a component photo, dimensions, packaging method, lead span, PCB file or board photo, and the required production target.
Can this machine handle my component?
The supplied manual lists several vertical tape-packaged component examples. Southern Machinery should evaluate the actual component, package and PCB before confirming suitability.
Can feeder configuration be discussed before purchase?
Yes. The supplied material describes compact and standard feeder choices. The recommended arrangement depends on the component and the planned production requirement.
Can the machine connect with a PCB line?
The product material describes existing-line integration and the manual describes PCB connection stations. Confirm the required line interface and board flow during project evaluation.
