i engrave photos mostly and find my CW-5200 will cause anomalies in my images if it kicks in during the engraving process. It turns out the water temp change was causing this. Is there a way i can add a switch to manually turn on and off the chilling process without affecting the water pump?
Hi, Did you find a solution for the problem? I am experiencing the same. Sometimes the chiller is always on and keeps the temp stable. But sometimes it shuts down.
@@Lukas-ws8pu Hi Lukas, yes we did. its not the greatest solution but it works. I had to bring back my bucket of water and pump BUT this time it works along side the chiller. Basically you have the chiller tubes connected to a copper coiled pipe, this is then placed in the bucket of water along with the old water pump that flows water through the laser tube. This buffer allows the chiller to cool the water in the bucket with the pump but the super cooled water doesnt get sent through the tube. Hope that makes sense
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer hey, Thanks for the answer. That makes sense! Already thought about this concept since my tube reacts really sensible to little temperature differences in the coolingwater. Thank you for the advice. I will definetly try this :)
@@Lukas-ws8pu my pleasure, i managed to get a length of copper pipe 10mm OD from amazon and coil it myself, just be careful if doing that, you need to bend it around something otherwise it can bend in half and the tube collapses
