Why LED Tube SMT Automation?

LED lighting manufacturers face unique challenges — fragile SMD components, high CPH demand, and zero-defect expectations.

High CPH Demand

Solid-state lighting requires high-speed, accurate placement of thousands of LEDs per shift.

🔍

Zero LED Damage

Mis-pick of LED chips from carrier tape pockets directly impacts yield and downstream rework cost.

🎯

High Accuracy

PCB Assembly for long 1.2M tubes demands precise component placement across a large board format.

💰

ROI Pressure

Smart EMS factories need a cost-effective line alternative to expensive Japanese brands.

The Complete 6-Step SMT Workflow

From component reels to a fully tested 1.2M LED tube — fully automated, end-to-end.

① SMD Component Loading

FEEDER STATION

LED chips and SMD components are loaded into tape-and-reel feeders. Mis-pick prevention starts here — proper pocket alignment is critical to downstream yield.

📦

② LED Pick and Place

LD-P808AL · 6 HEADS · SCREW BALL

Off-line LED Pick and Place machine with 6 heads moves along the 1.2M tube. Sub-pixel accuracy places LED chips precisely on the PCB, with screw-ball drive for smooth, reliable motion.

2

③ Conveyor Transfer

RF-8810 · UPLOADING CONVEYOR

The PCB is transported smoothly from the Pick and Place machine into the Reflow Oven. Stable, vibration-free transfer protects placed components.

3

④ Reflow Soldering

LED-1206TS · 8 ZONES · 3 SETS

The Reflow Oven uses 8 temperature zones to melt solder paste and form reliable solder joints. Three LED-1206TS units run in parallel for high throughput on long-format tubes.

4

⑤ Assembly Line & Testing

LD-330CR · 2 SETS · CONVEYOR BELT

Two conveyor belt assembly lines support processing, electrical testing, and visual inspection between soldering and final aging.

5

⑥ LED Aging Test · 12M

LD-330C · 12M AGING LINE

The 12-meter aging line powers every LED tube to verify brightness, color consistency, and lifetime stability. Only tubes passing the burn-in test move forward to packaging.
