Why Automate Now

Manual radial insertion is killing your THT line

Hand-loading capacitors, LEDs, transistors and fuses one-by-one is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale. The S3010A turns radial insertion into a programmable, repeatable, lights-out process.

⏱

Operators Lose Hours Hand-Inserting Radials

12,000 CPH steady throughput on capacitors, transistors, LEDs, key switches, fuses and connectors — replacing 8–10 manual insertion stations.

🔍

Polarity Reversals Ship Out the Door

Component value and polarity verification before insertion via vision system — wrong parts are rejected, not soldered.

📐

Mixed Lead Spans Force Multiple Machines

Single, dual, triple and quad-span tooling — 2.5 / 5.0 / 7.5 / 10.0 mm spans inserted at the same time.

💻

Programming Takes the Whole Shift

Camera-vision teaching makes a new PCB program in ~5 minutes from a Gerber-format Excel file via USB.

💰

OEM Machines Are Too Expensive

Compatible with UIC insertion heads, cut/clinch base, CTA, carrier clips and feeders. Shenzhen-built, 1-day spare-parts dispatch.

⚡

SMT Parts Get Crushed by Cut/Clinch

Multiple clinch options with programmable height — protect SM components co-located on the board.

FAQ

S3010A Radial Insertion — Common Questions

What components can the S3010A insert?
Tape-packed radial-lead components: capacitors, transistors, LEDs, fuses, key switches, resistors, connectors and other standard radial tape parts up to 22 mm tall with no derate.
What is the actual throughput?
Datasheet rating: 12,000 CPH at 1000 ppm reliability. Specific triple-span configurations have been measured at up to 18,000 PCS/h in single-component runs — final number depends on board mix.
Which lead spans are supported?
Standard quad-span tooling covers 2.5 / 5.0 / 7.5 / 10.0 mm and includes 3.5 mm. Customised 12.5 / 15 mm lead-span tooling available to order.
What PCB sizes does it handle?
Min 50 × 50 mm, Max 400 × 400 mm. PCB thickness 0.79 – 2.36 mm.
Are the parts compatible with UIC machines?
Yes — insertion head, cut/clinch base, CTA, carrier clips and feeders are interchangeable with UIC platforms, protecting your existing tooling investment.
How long does it take to program a new PCB?
About 5 minutes using the camera-vision teaching system and a Gerber-format Excel file imported via USB.
Can it run inline with auto loading / unloading?
Yes — the optional automation cell adds a 50-PCB magazine loader at the front and unloader at the back, both width-adjustable, plus an optional SMT magazine rack between cells.
What power and air does it need?
AC 220V single-phase, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 kW. Compressed air 0.6 MPa, 0.3 m³/min, dry and non-lubricated, dew point 11 °C below ambient.
What about price, lead time and ROI?
Price, delivery and exact ROI are issued by Southern Machinery sales after technical review. Indicative payback when replacing 8–10 manual radial insertion stations is typically under 6 months — validated case-by-case during quotation.
