Analysis: A Critical Inefficiency in SMT/THT Assembly


Manual jumper wire insertion introduces unacceptable variables into a controlled process, directly impacting OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and per-unit profitability.


The reliance on manual labor for this task creates a cascading effect: inconsistent speeds cause downstream bottlenecks, variable placement quality leads to higher rework rates, and imprecise material handling results in significant waste. This memo outlines a definitive, engineered solution.

The Solution: The SM-JWF-01 Automated Jumper Wire Feeder


The Southern Machinery Automated Jumper Wire Feeder is designed to replace this manual process with a stable, high-speed, and precise system. The objective is to deliver a measurable ROI through three core benefits:



  • Maximize Throughput: Eliminate the human-speed limitation and accelerate your entire line.

  • Reduce Operational Costs: Achieve verifiable savings by eliminating material waste and reducing direct labor costs.

  • Guarantee Process Consistency: Ensure every jumper wire is cut, formed, and placed with machine precision, improving final product quality.


These benefits are a direct result of the following technical features and their inherent advantages:

























FeatureAdvantage
≤ 1.5 Second Cycle TimeEliminates manual speed limitations, establishing a consistent and predictable production pace.
Universal Mounter CompatibilityZero-cost, seamless integration with your existing SMT equipment (any brand). No need for costly line modifications.
Zero-Waste Cutting MechanismDirectly reduces consumable material costs by eliminating scrap produced during manual cutting and forming.
Microcomputer Program ControlEnsures high-accuracy feeding and placement, drastically reducing defects and the need for rework.
