Questions to Ask When Looking for a Stencil Cleaning Machine
PCB Stencil Cleaning Processes
Stencil Cleaning: Consider Your BEST Options
Did you know that certain stencil cleaners can help cut down your overall costs like labor costs, printing errors, and factory and environmental hazards? We have found that often times SMT Factory Owners and CEOs tend to overlook the costs within the stencil cleaning process that affect many factors down the operation line. It is not just the cost of the machine you are purchasing it is the overall cleaning system that you are investing in which has an effect on many different areas and should be addressed when considering your best stencil cleaning method.Here is a list of questions to consider when addressing your total investment in a Stencil Cleaning Process:
How many SMT lines are in your factory?
How many stencils are currently in use?
How do you currently clean stencils? Manually? Ultrasonic? Fully Pneumatic?
How much cleaning liquid do you use per month?

THT Thriving in Specialized Music Industry
THT Thriving in the Pro-Audio Industry
NAMM Show 2017
While in attendance at the 2017 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show last month we found one thing to be true… THT Equipment is far from dead. The music industry continues to require robust and durable components for high quality and heavy duty gear. GEAR, GEAR, GEAR! And the better the gear the more likely THT was involved in the assembly. Proving that THT is not just surviving but thriving in our high-tech world.
But there are many missing links! Many of these specialty components are still placed by hand and many more are still IMPORTED. Opportunities abound for manufacturers to bring all assembly, quality control, and profits back home. Quality is the name of the game when it comes to being #1 in any product category but costs sometimes hold back some manufacturers. According to Joel Menchey, Menchey Music Service, import costs for audio manufacturers are the highest of all costs. This doesn’t have to be so.
We at Southern Machinery have the solutions to lower costs and improve your manufacturing assembly quality! Our S-600-OF Through-hole & Surface Mounting Multifunction Machine paves the way to incorporate THT with SMT technologies. We can help you design the exact machine for your needs, ordered to spec. It’s a simple conversation for a huge shift in ideology and savings.

Avoiding Design Mistakes with Testing
Improve EMS Productivity by Testing Early
PC Board errors are a drain to EMS productivity. Through analysis and testing PCBs in the pilot stages, a smoother and more educated production set-up can be achieved. By performing automatic impedance measurements and testing of components (chip resistors and capacitors) early on, you can ensure the best design for production.
We recommend applying the best design logics when creating your PCB layout and Test, Test, Test for maximum efficiency and output. According to Circuits Assembly’s December 2016 Magazine, here is the list of 5 Most Common PCB Design Mistakes: “1. The components do not suit the production technology 2. Thermal imbalance 3. Incompatibility between fabrication and assembly technology 4. Component placement at PCB edge 5. Placing fiducials on the PCB’s edge.”
Once you have planned your PC Board with best practices, Southern Machinery’s High-Speed In-line Circuit Board Test Machine will help with testing by incorporating a visual inspection function which allows mounting status checks on each component (e.g.: typo descriptions in alphanumeric characters, orientation, size) on the operator’s monitor will serve to best analyze testing up close. As well as automatically generating test data from mounting data and component list.
Stop Importing & Start Automating!
Automatic Insertion Equipment Manufacturer for PCB Assembly
Stop Importing Cell Phones, Automate Them!
Times have officially changed. Where once there was no reason to invest in your homegrown cell phone manufacturing, now, with equipment that is more affordable than ever before, it makes sense to invest at home. Cell phone suppliers don’t have to rely on other countries to import cell phones any longer with new Smart Factories that are more efficient and affordable than labored hands. Now, businesses can incorporate manufacturing into their business model, and finally stop importing from China.
The SMT, pick and place Industry has revolutionized the way we used to look at manufacturing. The reasons for importing cell phones from China, namely cost and labor, are being reduced with the advancement of PCB AI Assembly equipment. Now you can home-grow your cell phone manufacturing with equipment that is smarter, faster, efficient, and more affordable than human labor force.
These huge changes will affect all companies that rely on electronics manufactured abroad. These imported items that have been historically low in cost, will no longer have the same low price tag. Intelligent companies are staying ahead of the curve and beginning to create their own reliable manufacturing processes, IN-HOUSE.
The good news is that there are companies that have planned ahead. It is now easier than ever to begin or improve your own manufacturing capabilities. It is not the huge undertaking it once was to establish and expand your own manufacturing equipment. PCB AI Assembly equipment is smarter, faster, efficient, and more affordable than ever before. Now is the time to get on board!
We have your solution! Become an Industry Leader!
