Complete SMT Production Line Solutions From Planning to Production
Setting up an SMT production line requires more than choosing individual machines. The equipment must work together around PCB size, component mix, production capacity, process requirements and available factory space. SMTlink helps customers configure complete SMT and DIP production lines by combining the right equipment for each stage of the manufacturing process. From solder paste printing and component placement to reflow, inspection, PCB handling and through-hole assembly, we can provide equipment recommendations based on your production requirements and budget.
Solder Paste Printing
The solder paste printer applies a controlled amount of solder paste to PCB pads before component placement. Printer selection depends on PCB size, printing accuracy, production speed and product mix.
Pick & Place
Pick and place machines place electronic components onto PCBs at high speed and accuracy. The right configuration depends on component range, placement speed, feeder capacity and production requirements.
Reflow & Inspection
Reflow ovens complete the soldering process by controlling temperature through multiple heating and cooling zones. SPI and AOI systems can then be integrated into the line for process and assembly inspection.
PCB Handling & Line Automation
PCB loaders, unloaders, conveyors and other handling equipment connect individual machines and help maintain a continuous production flow.
Build Your SMT Production Line Around Your Process
Every production line has different requirements. PCB dimensions, production volume, component mix, automation level and budget all affect equipment selection. SMTlink can help you evaluate these factors before defining a suitable line configuration.

DIP PRODUCTION LINE SOLUTIONS
Through-hole components remain an important part of many PCB assembly applications, particularly for connectors, transformers, relays, power components and other parts that require mechanical strength or specific assembly methods. SMTlink can help configure DIP production equipment to work alongside your SMT process, including component insertion, wave soldering, selective soldering, PCB handling and related inspection equipment.

SMT + DIP Complete PCB Assembly Line
For manufacturers producing both surface-mount and through-hole assemblies, SMT and DIP processes need to be planned as one production workflow. SMTlink can help combine SMT placement, reflow soldering, inspection and DIP equipment into a coordinated production line. The final configuration can be adjusted according to PCB design, component types, production volume, factory layout and investment requirements.
How We Configure
1. Understand Your Requirements
PCB size, product type, component mix and target production capacity are reviewed before equipment selection.
2. Select Equipment
Equipment is selected according to the actual production process, required capacity and component requirements.
3. Build the Line Configuration
Printing, placement, reflow, inspection, PCB handling and DIP processes are organized into a practical production flow.
4. Review Specifications & Budget
Machine specifications, configuration and project investment requirements are reviewed before the equipment is confirmed.
5. Delivery & Support
Equipment can be prepared for international shipment, with technical assistance available according to the project requirements.

FAQ
What equipment is included in a complete SMT production line?
A standard complete SMT production line mainly consists of PCB loader, solder paste printer, SPI inspection system, pick‑and‑place machine, reflow oven, AOI inspection machine and PCB unloader. The actual configuration varies based on your PCB specifications, component types and target production output. Extra modules such as X‑ray can also be added for complex assemblies.
Can SMTlink configure a complete SMT production line?
Yes. Our team can deliver custom turnkey SMT line configurations. We will evaluate your PCB size, component mix, production capacity, factory layout and budget to put together a practical equipment solution instead of simply combining separate machines.
Can SMT and DIP equipment be combined?
Absolutely. For PCBs containing both surface‑mount components and through‑hole parts, SMT processes and DIP processes can be integrated into one unified workflow. We can match insertion machines, wave soldering or selective soldering equipment to work with your existing SMT setup.
What information do you need to recommend an SMT line?
To give you accurate equipment suggestions, we require key details including maximum & minimum PCB dimensions, component range, target UPH or monthly output, product application, factory space constraints and your project budget. PCB samples or component lists are also very helpful.
Can I buy individual SMT machines?
Yes. Besides full turnkey production lines, we also support sales of standalone SMT equipment. You are able to purchase separate units such as solder paste printers, pick‑and‑place machines, reflow ovens, AOI / SPI systems and PCB handling devices according to your actual demands.
Do you supply used and refurbished SMT equipment?
Yes, we provide new, used and fully refurbished SMT machines. Stock availability changes regularly. All refurbished units go through strict testing before delivery to guarantee stable working performance for production.
Which SMT equipment brands are available?
We work with mainstream global SMT brands including Yamaha, JUKI, FUJI, Hanwha and Panasonic. Both new original machines and pre‑owned units of these brands are available subject to current inventory. We can also source specific models upon customer request.
Can you help with international shipment?
Yes, we offer international shipping support. We can assist with container loading, export documentation and freight arrangements. Shipping cost and lead‑time will be confirmed after we know your destination country and the full equipment list.
