Overview
The CHARMILLES LASER P 1200 U Dedicated is a 5-axis laser texturing machine listed with 1200 x 900 x 1200 mm of travel, workpieces up to 1,200 kg and a ytterbium pulsed fiber laser offered at 50 / 100 W. The figures on this page are the listed ones.
For site planning, the machine measures 2,695 x 3,727 x 2,933 mm, width by depth by height, and weighs 6,500 kg. Maximum power consumption is only 4 kW, so the electrical connection is small for a machine of this size. Height is usually the figure that catches people out: 2,933 mm has to clear doors and lifting gear on delivery day.
Inside the enclosure, the laser head swings through 180° at 210°/s and the B-axis table, 800 mm across, rotates at up to 180°/s. With 1200 mm of Z the head reaches deep into a tall mould while the table presents each wall in turn. Focal lengths of 100, 160 and 254 mm are listed; the 254 mm lens gives the most stand-off for deep cavities, the 100 mm lens the finest spot.
The source choice sets throughput. At 100 W, deep grain textures over large areas take fewer passes; at 50 W the machine is better matched to fine, shallow patterns where control matters more than removal rate.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpieces up to 1,200 kg over 1200 x 900 x 1200 mm of travel
- Ytterbium pulsed fiber laser with 50 / 100 W options
- Maximum power consumption of 4 kW keeps the electrical connection small
- Footprint of 2,695 x 3,727 mm (width x depth) for a machine with 1200 mm of Z
- Head swings 180° at 210°/s over an 800 mm table rotating at 180°/s
Limitations
- Machine height of 2,933 mm must clear doors and crane hooks on delivery
- 6,500 kg machine weight calls for a floor rated and prepared for it
- The B-axis table is 800 mm across, so wide tools overhang it in 5-axis work
- Source power stops at 100 W, which caps the removal rate on deep textures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed machine dimensions are 2,695 x 3,727 x 2,933 mm, width by depth by height, and the weight is 6,500 kg. Maximum power consumption is 4 kW. Check the height against the building's doors and the lifting gear before delivery.
02
The source is a ytterbium pulsed fiber laser offered at 50 / 100 W. 100 W suits deep grain textures and large areas where removal rate sets the cycle time; 50 W is enough for shallow, fine texturing with few passes.
03
Up to 1,200 kg, on a B-axis table 800 mm in diameter. Heavy parts take longer to accelerate, so treat the 180°/s B-axis speed as a ceiling rather than what a 1,200 kg mould will actually see.
04
100, 160 and 254 mm. Shorter focal lengths give a finer spot for detailed patterns; the 254 mm option gives the most stand-off, which keeps the head clear of the walls of deep cavities in a tall mould.
