- Installation – your equipment is delivered and installed by our engineers
- We then send our engineers to your home factory
- We recommend 7-15 days of Training and Production for full quality control
- Our Engineers are responsible for training your team and work with you to produce your products
- Follow-up – our team follows-up to ensure things are running smoothly
Our engineers are always here to make sure that your EMS Factory is always performing at top capacity. Here are some of the ways we ensure that you have everything you need to maintain top performing Equipment. We offer video trainings, Skype trainings, troubleshooting via Team Viewer, amongst other channels.
The future of After Installation Service with IoT:
With Industrial IoT, we look toward a future where all sensors will be extremely intelligent and collaborate to perform tasks via an entire network geared toward constant monitoring and improvement. Southern Machinery will continue to provide the customer service you are used to but will also have the capability to offer instant feedback with intelligent sensors that constantly read data and measure equipment output and quality. We look forward to this future with you.

Pneumatic Cleaning Systems
Stencil Cleaning without VOCs
There are three main pollution sources to consider when dealing with Stencil Cleaning Equipment for your PCBA. They include gaseous emissions, wastewater, and solid emissions. Depending on the regulations of the location you conduct manufacturing, the quantity of the emissions, and any fines or penalties associated with these emissions, we recommend learning about environmental pitfalls and avoiding them all together.
We want to bring cleaner solutions to the PCBA process. In the spirit of education we want to share the environmental pitfalls you can avoid by choosing a Pneumatic Stencil Cleaner:
Air Pollution:
Ozone Depleting Substances
Climate Change Contributing Substances
Odors
tin and copper)
Toxicity to aqueous life before and after biodegradation surface tension modifiers, etc.)
Pneumatic Stencil Cleaner: Filter Changing
CLEAN! Zero pollution SMT stencil cleaning machine
EASY! 2 grade filter for SMT stencil cleaning machine cleaning fluid circulation use
FAST! 3 minutes cleaning process for quick improvement of printing quality

LED Smart Lighting.
Brightening the LED IoT Movement.
The LED IoT Smart Lighting market is projected to grow over 45% per year by 2020. This multi-billion dollar industry continues to create lighting for all markets meeting demands for efficiency, long lasting lights, and cost cutting on the manufacturing end.
Looking at how the market for the internet of things (IoT) is expanding and spreading into every industry, the notion that people can control every light switch, electronic device or even plumbing fixtures while monitoring the energy usage of these items, are changing the lighting industry in monumental ways. LED is now a global movement and manufacturing companies are quickly advancing their machines to keep up with the great demand.
It is time to consider LED for your manufacturing…

Odd-Form isn’t what it used to be
Odd-Form Assembly: Questions to Consider for Transitioning to Automation

For the last 20 years any odd-form components that did not come pre-packaged have been assembled BY HAND. Any PCB Assembly in today’s market can gain quick advantages by automating their assembly line. Huge costs are spent unnecessarily on labor and import fees.
If you are considering automation of odd-form components in your PCBA, consider these questions:
- Does your desired component come available in a package?
-
Is your lead to hole ratio appropriate for automating?
-
Is the quality and repeatability of the component suitable for automation?
-
Does your component require lead preparation prior to insertion?
-
Does your process require that the component is clinched?
Need help with these questions? Let us know and we will help design your Odd-Form Assembly tailored to your needs!

Smart SMT Factory

It is time to reexamine how you manufacture. Regardless of your industry, or the size, the opportunity to create a smart factory will no doubt decrease your costs and increase your profits. As technology advances, it is smarter to consider turning your aged model of outsourcing manual labor to a self-manufacturing model using surface mount and auto insertion technologies. If you can have the control of manufacturing your own unique products in-house, decreasing cost, time, and increasing your ROI, why wouldn’t you join the competition and reevaluate your current model?
Southern Machinery has over 20 years of experience, carefully designing your customized tailor-made SMT machines to fit your production. Investing in a customized SMT line for your manufacturing will set to improve your quality, productivity, and reliability.

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.
