Gweike Cloud Pro Pausing Mid-Cut

[coldhotplumbs]

Hello,

I am running into an issue where my Gweike Cloud Pro 50W CO2 laser will cut for a few minutes and suddenly pause in the middle of a cut. This happens with simple design geometry generated inside of Lightburn and externally designed files. I have ensured there are no issues with the vectors themselves and I have checked that the USB cable and power settings are optimized as recommended in a similar post.

I am able to resume cutting by selecting the pause button in Lightburn. If I immediately restart the cut after it pauses, the laser will start up for only a few seconds before pausing again. If I wait for around 30sec-1min after it pauses, the laser will usually cut for another few minutes before pausing again.

Could this be related to an overheating issue? I am running at 85-90% power to cut through 3 and 5mm acrylic sheets. This machine comes with integrated liquid cooling. The coolant tank is full from what I can tell is circulating as it should during operation.

I have reached out to gweike tech support but they are taking their time responding. Any help or insight into what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

Similar issue that seems to be unresolved

Laser Pausing Mid Cut

Hi, I have run into the problem where my gweike cloud pro laser will pause mid cut and make me press the play button for it to continue on. It happens at random intervals. It does not just stop and go back to the home position it just pauses. can happen every 5 seconds then not happen for another minute. Just wondering if anyone has ran into this problem and knows how to fix it. REALLY ANNOYING!!!

What is the ambient temperature? I understand these will shut off when the coolant is around 80F.

These have no active cooling system, so the coolant just heats up.

I have Gweike Cloud G2 Pro 30W Laser that I just got after Christmas and it is doing the same thing. Yesterday I had all the parameters dialed in and could engrave 3 lines of text on my part. Today the laser shuts off after 2 letters using all the same parameters. Any ideas? This is really annoying!!! We are in a controlled temperature and humidity office. I was not running the laser more than a hour today so it should be over heating.
