Welcome
Welcome to world of lead-free soldering.
We are honored that you have chosen the SGS-2000L series
lead-free soldering system.
L Lab
L Lab would like to share our idea with our friends. We make something unique
and bring the best product to customers. Our products now go to North, Central
and South America, West Europe and Southeast Asia, etc. we try hard to offer
the best service to customers and we want to share this happiness
with our customers.
Challenges in lead-free soldering
New Technology
The challenges are primary the increased temperature for higher melting point
alloy than conventional tin-lead solders. A sharp fall in process temperature
during the soldering is also a trouble. These require not only a wide soldering
temperature range but also a real-time thermal recovery.
High cost
To solve above problem, the general ideal is choosing a composite tip and this
tip is a soldering tip in which a heating element and sensor are integrated with
ceramic, but this means a higher cost in frequent replacement of tip with a
heating element and sensor.
Our new technology in lead-free soldering
L Lab now are well prepared for above challenges.
Our products take switching power supply and aviation power technique as core
concept and fully make use positive temperature coefficient of traditional
ceramic heating element. Intelligent control system can make real-time
excellent thermal recovery for heat loss.
Low cost in Solderite lead-free soldering
Separated tip design brings a convenient tip replacement, and this comes true
the least cost of tip replacing.
A reliable quality system
The design and manufacturing process of the products are in accordance to
Europe EN-60335, EN-55014, EN-50366, China CCC Security Standard. A
stable operation is also provided.
Know about lead-free soldering
Lead-free soldering
The electronics industry is moving rapidly to lead-free soldering approach to
meeting the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substance) challenges. Although relevant legislation
about lead-free product haven't been made by most of countries, with the
ongoing concern regarding environmental pollutants, lead-free is being a target
that a worldwide electronic assemble arena are aiming at.

Care and Maintenance of Tips
1. Before use or after use, set temperature back to 250 C(482 F). Clean and
coat the tip with fresh solder. This helps prevent Tip oxidation. Always keep
Tip tinned before returning to Holder, switching off or storing for any period of
time, wipe only before using.
2. If black oxides appear on the solder-plated portion of the tip, at first, set
temperature back to 250 C(482 F), then apply new solder (containing flux).
Wipe the tip on the Cleaning Sponge, repeat until the oxides are completely
removed. Coat with new solder.
3. If any oxide film does form, this can be cleaned by carefully rubbing with a
600-800 frit fine emery cloth, isopropyl alcohol or the equivalent, then wrap
rosin-core solder around the newly exposed surface and reheat, flood the
tinned area with rosin-core solder after wrapped rosin-core solder melted.
4. If the Tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace with a new one.
