THT Auto Insertion

S3000 Series Radial Insertion Machine

Up to 18,000 CPH vertical radial insertion — the workhorse of a THT-automated EMS line

Runs 2.5 mm / 5.0 mm / 7.5 mm / 10 mm lead pitch taped radial components from a 20–60 station turret
Automatic lead forming, insertion and clinching in one stroke — no secondary operation
Inline SMEMA interface to magazine loader / unloader for unattended production
Program from Gerber or from a golden board in under 30 minutes per part number

Applications

LED lighting & drivers
Switch-mode power supplies
Mobile chargers & adapters
Home appliances
Industrial control boards

The S3000 series inserts radial leaded components — electrolytic capacitors, LEDs, resistors, diodes, fuse holders — at up to 18,000 components per hour with sequenced PCB X-Y positioning. It is the entry point for any EMS factory replacing hand-stuffing on power supplies, LED drivers, chargers, appliances and industrial control boards.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the S3000 handle mixed lead pitch on one board?

Yes. Each feeder station can carry a different pitch (2.5 / 5.0 / 7.5 / 10 mm) and the insertion head adjusts lead-forming span per station, so a single program can mix pitches without manual changeover.

How many operators does one machine replace?

On a typical radial-heavy board, one S3000 plus a loader replaces 6–10 manual insertion operators per shift. The exact number depends on component count per board — send us a BOM and board drawing for a free staffing audit.

What is the payback period?

Most EMS customers in Southeast Asia and Latin America see payback in 9–18 months based on labour cost alone, before yield and throughput gains.
