Overview

The CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U is a 5-axis laser texturing machine with 1,000 x 560 x 550 mm of X, Y and Z travel and a 5-axis working envelope of 460 mm dia. x 570 mm. Its source is a ytterbium pulsed fiber laser of 50W or 100W, and the figures on this page are the listed ones.

Five axes here means a laser head that tilts from -50° to +135° on A, above a rotary B axis that turns 360° at up to 160°/s. Tilting the head keeps the beam close to perpendicular on curved mould surfaces, and that angle is what keeps texture depth even across a 3D cavity. The tilt is asymmetric, so a part with deep side walls should be set up with those walls on the +135° side.

Focal lengths of 100, 160 and 254 mm are listed. A short focal length gives a smaller spot for fine detail; a long one gives more stand-off and depth of focus where the head has to work down into a cavity. The machine weighs approx. 6,500 kg.

The CHARMILLES LASER P 600 U lists 600 x 460 x 830 mm of travel and a 370 mm dia. x 530 mm envelope. Against it, the P 1000 U gives up Z stroke for more X and Y and a larger 5-axis envelope, which suits wider, flatter moulds.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,000 x 560 x 550 mm of travel for wide mould inserts and panels
5-axis envelope of 460 mm dia. x 570 mm for textured 3D parts
Laser head tilts from -50° to +135° over a 360° B axis turning at up to 160°/s
Choice of 50W or 100W ytterbium pulsed fiber laser
Three listed focal lengths: 100, 160 and 254 mm

Limitations

550 mm of Z travel, against 830 mm on the CHARMILLES LASER P 600 U, limits tall parts
Parts larger than the 460 mm dia. x 570 mm envelope cannot use the full head tilt
Approx. 6,500 kg machine weight needs floor loading and delivery access checked
Listed source power tops out at 100W, which sets the removal rate on deep textures

Best For

Texturing wide, shallow mould inserts 5-axis texturing of parts within 460 mm dia. x 570 mm Fine surface detail with the 100 mm focal length

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the working envelope of the CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U?

The listed travels are 1,000 x 560 x 550 mm in X, Y and Z. For full 5-axis work the envelope is 460 mm dia. x 570 mm, so a part that needs texture on all sides should fit inside that cylinder.

02 Which laser source does it use?

A ytterbium pulsed fiber laser, listed at 50W or 100W. The higher power removes material faster on deep textures; the lower one suits fine, shallow work where control matters more than speed.

03 How does the P 1000 U compare with the P 600 U?

The CHARMILLES LASER P 600 U lists 600 x 460 x 830 mm of travel, a 370 mm dia. x 530 mm 5-axis envelope and an A axis of -55° / +135°. The P 1000 U has more X and Y, a 460 mm dia. x 570 mm envelope and -50° / +135° of tilt, but less Z travel.

04 What focal lengths are available?

100, 160 and 254 mm are listed. A short focal length concentrates the beam into a smaller spot for fine detail; a long one gives more stand-off and depth of focus, which helps when texturing the walls of deep cavities.
