S-4000 Axial Insertion Machine

The S-4000: Redefining THT Efficiency for the Smart Factory

High-Speed Axial Insertion. Zero Human Error. Maximum ROI.

Replace manual workcells

Typical impact: output equivalent to 4–6 operators depending on mix.

Clinching consistency

Uniform lead forming supports IPC-aligned solder quality downstream.

Inline-ready

Loader integration keeps boards moving and improves OEE.

High-Speed Axial Insertion Overview

Throughput designed to keep THT aligned with SMT takt time.

Precision Mechanical Operation

Stable feeding + controlled insertion for repeatable lead placement.

PCB Loader Integration

Inline flow reduces handling time and prevents WIP accumulation.

Continuous Production Run

Designed for uptime: fewer stops, more predictable output per shift.

Why Smart EMS Factories Automate Axial Insertion

Manual insertion of resistors and diodes is slow and inconsistent. The S-4000 turns it into a controlled process that scales.

Speed that converts directly to ROI

High-speed insertion and stable cycle times reduce manual staffing pressure. Many factories use automation to replace the output of 4–6 operators (dependent on component mix and takt time).

Business impact: more boards/day, lower labor cost per board, and fewer overtime-driven surprises.

Clinching consistency for IPC-aligned quality

Robust clinching and controlled insertion help standardize lead forming and retention—supporting stable soldering outcomes aligned with IPC-A-610 expectations.

Business impact: fewer escapes, lower rework, and cleaner QA reporting.

MES / smart line readiness

Recipe-driven programs and integration-ready design make it easier to connect axial insertion into an inline cell with loaders, conveyors, and tracking workflows.

Business impact: faster changeovers, fewer setup errors, and better planning based on predictable cycle time.

Technical Specs Snapshot (Typical)

Share your PCB drawing + axial BOM for a confirmed configuration.

Item Typical Range / Capability Production value
Insertion throughput Up to ~20,000 components/hour (program & part dependent) Moves axial insertion from manual bottleneck to predictable takt time.
Component format Axial taped components (resistors, diodes, similar) Standardized feeding reduces missed insertions and handling damage.
Lead forming / clinching Automatic lead cut & clinch (config dependent) Improves retention for wave/selective solder stability.
PCB size support Approx. up to ~450×350 mm (confirm per configuration) Supports typical EMS panels while staying inline-ready.
Inline integration Loader/inloader options, conveyor-ready interfaces Reduces handling time and WIP—higher OEE.
Utilities AC 220V (typical), compressed air ~0.5–0.7 MPa (typical) Easy to deploy in standard EMS factory environments.
Note: Values shown are typical and may vary by part format, programming, PCB handling, and options. Ask for a verified spec sheet for your BOM.
