Machine Comparison
Mitsubishi MP1200 vs ONA AV60
Mitsubishi Electric vs ONA Electroerosion · Wire EDM
Summary
The Mitsubishi MP1200 and the ONA AV60 are both wire EDMs, but they serve different jobs. The Mitsubishi MP1200 is a compact machine with 400 mm of X travel and 300 mm of Y; the ONA AV60 has twice as much of each, at 800 mm (31.5 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in), and carries ten times the workpiece weight.
The ONA AV60 is rated for 5000 kg (11000 lbs) against 500 kg, and its Z travel comes in 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 mm versions (19.7 / 23.6 / 27.5 / 31.5 in) against 220 mm on the Mitsubishi MP1200. The Mitsubishi MP1200 is the fine-wire machine: φ0.10 - 0.30 mm wire as standard with φ0.05 and 0.07 mm as options, where the ONA AV60 lists 0.20 / 0.33 mm (0.008 – 0.013 in).
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Mitsubishi MP1200 | ONA AV60 |
|---|---|---|
| X-Axis Travel | 400 mm | 800 mm (31.5 in) ▲ |
| Y-Axis Travel | 300 mm | 600 mm (23.6 in) ▲ |
| Z-Axis Travel | 220 mm | 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 mm (19.7 / 23.6 / 27.5 / 31.5 in) |
| Max Table / Workpiece Load | 500 kg | 5000 kg (11000 lbs) ▲ |
| Wire Diameter Range | φ0.10 - 0.30 mm (φ0.05, 0.07 mm opt.) | 0.20 / 0.33 mm (0.008 – 0.013 in) |
Advantages
Mitsubishi MP1200
- Runs finer wire: from φ0.10 mm as standard, with φ0.05 and 0.07 mm as options, against 0.20 mm (0.008 in) as the finest size listed for the ONA AV60
- Sized for small work, with 400 x 300 x 220 mm of travel, rather than built around 5000 kg (11000 lbs) plates
ONA AV60
- Twice the X and Y travel: 800 mm (31.5 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in) against 400 mm and 300 mm
- 5000 kg (11000 lbs) workpiece load against 500 kg
- Z travel of 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 mm depending on version, against 220 mm
- Takes wire up to 0.33 mm (0.013 in) against 0.30 mm
Verdict
These machines do not compete for the same work. The Mitsubishi MP1200 fits small punches, die inserts and fine-wire detail inside 400 x 300 x 220 mm, with φ0.05 and 0.07 mm wire available as options. The ONA AV60 fits large die and mold plates and tall sections: 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, up to 800 mm of Z in the tallest version and a 5000 kg (11000 lbs) load. Pick by the largest part the shop expects to cut.
