Automatic Insertion Machine vs SMT Pick and Place Machine

Comparison ItemAutomatic Insertion MachineSMT Pick and Place MachineHow to Choose
Component typeThrough-hole components: radial, axial, DIP, connectorsSurface-mount devices: chips, ICs, BGAs, QFNs, LEDsChoose based on whether components require lead insertion or surface placement.
Process positionDIP/THT assembly before wave soldering or selective solderingSMT assembly before reflow solderingHybrid factories may need both SMT and THT equipment.
Main valueReduce manual insertion and improve through-hole consistencyIncrease high-speed component mounting capacityMatch equipment to actual product BOM and production volume.
Typical lineInsertion machine → wave soldering → inspectionSolder paste printer → pick and place → reflow oven → AOICY can configure full SMT, DIP or hybrid lines.


If your PCB assembly includes both SMD and through-hole components, CY Industry can help evaluate whether you need an SMT placement line, a THT automatic insertion machine, or a hybrid SMT + DIP assembly line.


How to Choose an Automatic Insertion Machine


Selection FactorWhat Buyers Should CheckWhy It Matters
Component typeRadial, axial, DIP, connector, terminal or odd-form components

Determines feeder type, tooling and insertion method.

Each automatic component insertion machine should therefore be configured around the actual component package, lead geometry and feeding method.

PCB size and layoutMaximum board size, thickness, panel layout and component densityEnsures the machine can handle the board and support stable insertion.
Insertion volumeDaily output target, product mix and line takt timeHelps choose between flexible production and higher-volume configurations.
Feeding methodTape, tube, tray, bowl or customized feedingAffects changeover speed and production stability.
Tooling and fixturesCustom fixture design, board support and insertion force controlCritical for connectors, terminals and odd-form components.
Line integrationConveyor, wave soldering machine, selective soldering, AOI/X-ray

Ensures the equipment works as part of a complete PCB assembly process.

The selected automated insertion equipment should communicate reliably with upstream board handling and downstream soldering and inspection systems.

Service supportInstallation, training, spare parts and remote troubleshootingReduces downtime after machine delivery.

FAQs about Automatic Insertion Machine

What information should I send to get a machine recommendation?

Please send your PCB drawing, component list, expected output, current process, factory layout and destination country so CY Industry can recommend the right machine configuration.


What is an automatic insertion machine used for?

An automatic insertion machine is used to insert through-hole components such as radial components, axial components, DIP parts, connectors and terminals into printed circuit boards automatically.

The appropriate pcb insertion machine depends on component format, lead dimensions, feeder method, insertion volume and required tooling.

What is the difference between an automatic insertion machine and an SMT pick and place machine?

An SMT pick and place machine places surface-mount components on the PCB surface, while an automatic insertion machine inserts through-hole components into PCB holes before soldering.


How do I choose an auto insertion machine for PCB assemblies?

Buyers should check component type, PCB size, insertion volume, feeding method, tooling requirements, line integration and service support before choosing an auto insertion machine for pcb assemblies.


Can CY Industry provide a complete THT or DIP assembly line?

Yes. CY Industry can configure automated insertion equipment, PCB handling systems, wave soldering machines, selective soldering equipment and inspection machines for a complete THT or DIP assembly line.


What affects automatic insertion machine price?

Price depends on component type, feeder configuration, tooling, PCB size, machine configuration, inspection options and whether the equipment is integrated into a complete assembly line.
