SMT Lines
Loader, conveyor, stencil printer, SPI option, pick-and-place, reflow oven, inline AOI, unloader.
PCB assembly automation lines built around your real output target.
Southern Machinery designs high-efficiency, cost-effective SMT, THT, wave soldering, and board handling solutions for EMS factories that need stable production without overspending.
Design the line before choosing the machines.
A good PCB assembly line is not just a fast pick-and-place machine. The printer, placement capacity, reflow profile, THT soldering method, inspection points, and board handling all need to move at the same practical pace.

We match the machine class and line balance to your product mix, volume, board size, and quality target. Exact Southern Machinery models are selected after the core production data is confirmed.
- 01Load & Print
Magazine loader, conveyor, automatic or semi-auto stencil printer.
- 02Place & Reflow
Pick-and-place capacity sized to your CPH need, then stable reflow.
- 03Inspect
SPI and AOI added where defect targets or product complexity justify them.
- 04THT & Solder
Manual assist, auto insertion, selective soldering, or wave soldering.
- 05Buffer & Test
Unloader, NG/OK sorting, depaneling, ICT/FCT station integration.
Southern Machinery equipment scope
The goal is a complete, coherent production line, not isolated machines that create a new bottleneck.
THT Insertion
Manual assist or automatic insertion for connectors, transformers, heatsinks, and other through-hole parts.
Wave Soldering
Lead-free soldering, fluxing, preheat, stable wave control, and THT inspection station integration.
Board Handling
Magazine loaders, buffers, inverters, conveyors, NG/OK sorting, depaneling and test station integration.

Open video boardChoose automation by volume and product mix
For example, a high-mix LED driver factory may need flexibility more than top speed. A mass-production power supply line usually needs stronger buffering, stable soldering, and inline inspection.
High-mix pilot line
Flexible, lower CapEx setup for prototypes, small batches, and frequent product changeovers.
Semi-auto printer, one flexible placer, compact reflow, manual THT assist, selective or smaller wave soldering.
Medium-volume EMS line
Balanced throughput for stable daily output without buying more automation than the product needs.
Auto printer, one or two placement machines, 8-10 zone reflow, inline handling, AOI as quality requires.
Mass production line
Higher-speed, fully inline flow for factories where placement speed, buffering, and solder consistency matter most.
High-capacity placement, wider high-zone reflow, full board handling, inline SPI/AOI, wave or selective solder automation.
Tell us what you build. We will size the line.
Share a few basics and we can recommend the right Southern Machinery line architecture, capacity range, inspection level, and upgrade path. We will not invent model specs before the production need is clear.
