Machine Comparison
Mitsubishi MP1200 vs Mitsubishi MV1200R
Mitsubishi Electric vs Mitsubishi Electric · Wire EDM
Summary
The Mitsubishi MP1200 and the Mitsubishi MV1200R are wire EDMs from the same maker, and the verified table shows the same 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load, the same 2,700 kg (5,952 lb) machine weight and the same M800 control family with a 19-inch touchscreen.
The differences are in wire and generator. The MP1200 takes wire from 0.05 – 0.30 mm against 0.004–0.012 in (0.1–0.3 mm) on the MV1200R, so it can run finer wire for small details. Its Digital AE II generator, a regenerative transistor pulse type with H-FS and SD-FS fine finishing circuits, is aimed at the finest surface finishes, while the MV1200R uses the V350-V generator. The MP1200 also lists 3D CamMagic on board.

Advantages
Mitsubishi MP1200
- Finer wire capability, 0.05 – 0.30 mm against 0.1–0.3 mm
- Digital AE II generator with H-FS and SD-FS fine finishing
- 3D CamMagic on board the M800 control
Mitsubishi MV1200R
- Intelligent auto-threading and condition optimization aimed at unattended shifts
- V350-V generator for general precision work across a variety of materials and thicknesses
Verdict
With the same table load, weight and control family, the decision comes down to finish and wire size. The Mitsubishi MP1200 is the pick for mold cavities, stamping dies and medical parts that need 0.05 mm wire and the finest finishes from its fine finishing generators. The Mitsubishi MV1200R suits general precision work on 0.1–0.3 mm wire, especially unattended shifts using its auto-threading and condition optimization.
