How much does the GF Machining CHARMILLES LASER P 600 U cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The CHARMILLES LASER P 600 U is a 5-axis laser texturing machine with 600 x 460 x 830 mm of X, Y and Z travel and a 5-axis envelope of 370 mm dia. x 530 mm. Its source is a ytterbium pulsed fiber laser of 20W, 50W or 100W, and the figures here are the listed ones.
The Z stroke is the defining figure. At 830 mm it exceeds the 600 mm of X, so the machine is laid out for tall, narrow parts rather than wide plates. The laser head tilts from -55° to +135° on A over a B axis that turns 360° at up to 160°/s, and because the tilt reaches further one way, parts with their deepest walls on one side should face the +135° direction.
The CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U is listed with 50W or 100W sources only; the P 600 U adds a 20W option. Low power gives fine control on shallow decorative textures and micro-structures, where a larger source would remove too much per pass. Focal lengths of 100, 160 and 254 mm are listed, and the machine weighs approx. 5,000 kg.
Against the CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U, with 1,000 x 560 x 550 mm of travel and a 460 mm dia. x 570 mm envelope, the P 600 U is smaller in X and Y and in its 5-axis envelope, but has more Z travel.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 830 mm of Z travel for tall parts, against 550 mm on the CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U
- Three listed source powers: 20W, 50W or 100W ytterbium pulsed fiber
- Laser head tilt from -55° to +135° over a 360° B axis at up to 160°/s
- 5-axis envelope of 370 mm dia. x 530 mm
- Approx. 5,000 kg machine weight, against approx. 6,500 kg for the CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U
Limitations
- 600 mm of X and 460 mm of Y rule out wide plates and panels
- Parts larger than 370 mm dia. x 530 mm cannot use the full 5-axis tilt
- Source power tops out at 100W, which sets the removal rate on deep textures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels are 600 x 460 x 830 mm. For full 5-axis texturing the part must fit within 370 mm dia. x 530 mm. Larger parts can still be worked within the linear travels, but without every tilt angle available.
02
A ytterbium pulsed fiber laser is listed at 20W, 50W or 100W. The 20W source gives the finest control for micro-structures and shallow decorative textures; 100W suits deeper grain textures over larger areas.
03
The CHARMILLES LASER P 1000 U has 1,000 x 560 x 550 mm of travel, a 460 mm dia. x 570 mm envelope, -50° / +135° of head tilt and 50W or 100W sources. The P 600 U is narrower in X and Y but has 830 mm of Z, tilts to -55° and adds a 20W source.
04
Approx. 5,000 kg. Give that figure to the rigger and check it against the floor loading at the installation site, together with door width and crane access for delivery.
