Taped component feeding
The product material identifies automatic insertion for radial taped package components, with the feed path integrated into the insertion process.
Southern Machinery
An automated radial THT component insertion solution for PCB assembly, built around taped component feeding, controlled positioning and in-line production support.

Designed to automate the insertion step for radial, vertical taped components in through-hole PCB production.
Product overview
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.
Machine operation
A supplied factory-operation video showing the insertion head working on a populated PCB. Playback is manual and begins only when the visitor chooses to play it.
Key features
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.
The product material identifies automatic insertion for radial taped package components, with the feed path integrated into the insertion process.
The supplied materials describe a servo motor and lead screw insertion unit for controlled component handling and movement.
The supplied manual describes an X-Y worktable that moves the PCB to the programmed insertion position.
The mechanism described in the manual cuts, bends and fixes the leads after they enter the PCB holes.
The S3000 PDF lists 10 stations as the recommended number of feeder stations for the standard specification.
Component package, dimensional limits, lead span and PCB data can be reviewed before final machine and feeder configuration.
Applicable components
The supplied S3000 series manual identifies vertical tape-packaged components including the examples below. Component suitability must remain subject to package and PCB evaluation.

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.
Share a component photo, package style, dimensions and lead span for a technical check.
Compact or standard feeder options can be considered against the part and the production requirement.
Southern Machinery can recommend the appropriate machine and feeder arrangement after evaluation.

Applications
The product materials identify the following board and production environments as potential S3000 applications.

Southern Machinery support
The supplied product materials describe support for machine evaluation, installation and training, customized solutions and spare-parts service. The S3000 manual also describes PCB connection stations for sending boards into and out of the equipment.
Evaluation FAQ
A practical review starts with the component and board data, rather than a general machine request alone.
Please send a component photo, dimensions, packaging method, lead span, PCB file or board photo, and the required production target.
The supplied manual lists several vertical tape-packaged component examples. Southern Machinery should evaluate the actual component, package and PCB before confirming suitability.
Yes. The supplied material describes compact and standard feeder choices. The recommended arrangement depends on the component and the planned production requirement.
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.
