Gweike Cloud Basic II 50W CO₂ Laser Cutter & Engraver

The Gweike Cloud is a laser cutting and engraving machine equipped with a powerful 50W CO₂ laser tube sitting on the Y-axis gantry. To prevent overheating, the machine features an efficient internal closed-loop liquid cooling system and a heat exchanger. The laser cutter has a solid construction with all-metal modules and main components. Hiwin industrial linear rails on all the three axes allow for lightning-fast engraving speed of up to 600 mm/s and high precision of 0.001″.

The machine is equipped with a built-in 5 MP wide-angle camera for precise positioning of the design on the material. It also makes for image extraction, capturing a design from any object placed onto the working surface for its further use in your own projects.

Having a more than competitive price, the Gweike Cloud sports a lot of smart features that make it a highly versatile and easy-to-use machine both for beginners and professional makers. The material recognition function allows the machine to read the QR code on the proprietary materials, obtaining their type and thickness, and automatically set the operating parameters, such as speed, power, and autofocus length. When working with other materials, the parameters are set by the user with just a few clicks. The AI autofocus ensures accurate and consistent cutting results without a complicated setup. There is a removable waste tray at the bottom of the machine for a more convenient clean-up process.

To provide safe operation, the Gweike Cloud is equipped with all the necessary features, such as a fully enclosed design with lid opening protection and a built-in air-assist, which efficiently protects the laser lens and allows for clean cuts without burning marks. The machine ensures quiet operation with the noise level not exceeding 70 dB. The cutter has CE, FCC, and FDA certification. To eliminate toxic fumes and odors, the machine can be equipped with an optional air filter with three-stage filtration, including HEPA and activated carbon filters.

Below you will find some examples of what the Gweike Cloud is capable of.

Compatible materials

Powered by a 50W CO₂ laser, the Gweike Cloud can handle numerous materials, including wood, acrylic, cardboard, paper, leather, rubber, plastic, fabric, cork, and others for cutting, and even more options for engraving. In addition to the materials just mentioned, the machine can engrave on glass, stone, ceramic, marble, painted or coated metals, and even on food objects, such as bread slices or macaroons. Unlike diode lasers, the Gweike Cloud shows good results with transparent or white-colored objects.

Working area

With a working area of 510 x 300 mm and a maximum workpiece height of 51 mm without the honeycomb panel, the Gweike Cloud is suitable for home use as well as laser-engraving business projects, including small-batch production.

The bottom-feeding design of the machine with a slot on the back panel allows engraving on objects that exceed the working area dimensions.

The working area is illuminated with warm light LED strips that help with focusing and provide more convenient operation.

Machine controls

The Gweike Cloud has various connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB. The connection ports as well as the power slot and switch are on the back panel of the machine. On the right top panel there is a start / stop button with an annular LED indicator which changes color, showing the machine current status.

Software

There are three software options available for use with the Gweike Cloud laser cutter. The first and, probably, the easiest one is the Gweike Cloud web-based online software, which is great for beginners as it is incredibly simple, user-friendly, and does not require installation. This cloud-based software allows using basic editing tools and provides a vast library of ready-made designs. It is also fully compatible with the Gweike Cloud material recognition feature.

The machine also supports the Gweike Cloud offline software and Lightburn, which is a preferable software for many makers.

Applications

Due to its powerful laser, high-quality build, a spacious working area, and a plethora of smart features, the Gweike Cloud laser cutting and engraving machine can be used for a wide range of applications both at home and in a laser engraving studio or workshop. The machine is ideal for starting a small engraving business as well as creating personalized gifts and souvenirs for family and friends.
