Advice, Tips, Help, Tricks, Profiles for Bauer v4/v5??

[ultimate360]

Hey guys, I just purchased a new Bauer IR PRO SCC V5 BGA rework station. Yes, A v5, it's a prototype from the factory and it has not gone into mass production yet, Bauer hasn't even announced or mentioned anything about it at all, I'm a lucky lil' tester Anyways, it's pretty much the exact same as the v4 except they removed the vacuum pump, and the laser power switch (For some reason.. It's kind of a problem because I can't turn it on, lol.) The wiring and electrical has been overhauled, pretty much re-designed on the inside. Otherwise everything else is the same as v4. So, since I have no background on Bauers other than knowing they are built like tanks, I'm looking for some info on them. Feel free to share some experiences you've had with v4's or maybe v5. I want to know as much as I can about it, I'd like to hear any tricks, tips, advice, stories, and profiles you guys have on the Bauer v4 (or 5). I primarily rework Xbox 360 consoles and would like to get some good profiles for them as well. Thanks guys!

Its still made in China, but i will admit the newer ACHI units and other brands have come along way

They actually use temperature resistant wiring among other things

My advice right off the bat would be too toss those heaters and replace them with elstein brand

Yes. Chinese made and all the crap behind it that its european design is all BS. Your machine is the same as the LY IR PRO SC (built by the same factory, with some slight changes to confuse people), The Achi IR Pro SC, and the Scotle IR PRO SC, you just pay more for the Bauer.

So anything you find for these machines you could use to help you.

Lol, so funny but all true

The heaters are infrapara, but sometimes they put Bauer on them

funny how they keep the model "IR Pro SC" after changing the brand name!
