Mitsubishi MV1200R vs Mitsubishi Electric MV2400R
Mitsubishi Electric vs Mitsubishi Electric · Wire EDM
Summary
The Mitsubishi MV1200R and the Mitsubishi Electric MV2400R are wire EDMs from the same family, sharing the V350-V generator, 0.004–0.012 in (0.1–0.3 mm) wire and the same 51.2 in/min (1,300 mm/min) rapid rate. The MV2400R is the larger machine.
It has 23.6 in (600 mm) X travel against 15.7 in (400 mm), 15.7 in (400 mm) Y against 11.8 in (300 mm), 12.2 in (310 mm) Z against 8.7 in (220 mm), a 33.0 × 25.2 in table against 25.2 × 21.3 in, and a 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) load rating against 1,102 lb (500 kg). It lists Ra 0.18 um achievable against Ra 0.20 um, and a 15 deg. taper at 10.2 in (260 mm) against 8.0 in (200 mm). The MV1200R takes less floor space: 79.7 × 106.4 in against 105.8 × 119.3 in.

Advantages
Mitsubishi MV1200R
- Smaller footprint: 79.7 × 106.4 in (2,025 × 2,702 mm) against 105.8 × 119.3 in
- Lighter at 5,952 lb (2,700 kg) against 7,716 lb (3,500 kg)
- M800 series control with a 19-inch touchscreen
Mitsubishi Electric MV2400R
- 23.6 x 15.7 x 12.2 in (600 x 400 x 310 mm) of travel against 15.7 x 11.8 x 8.7 in
- 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) table load against 1,102 lb (500 kg)
- Ra 0.18 um achievable against Ra 0.20 um
- 15 deg. taper at 10.2 in (260 mm) against 8.0 in (200 mm)
Verdict
The Mitsubishi MV1200R is the right size for mold inserts, punches and precision components that fit 400 x 300 mm of travel and 500 kg, in a smaller footprint. The Mitsubishi Electric MV2400R is for larger plates and heavier blanks up to 1,500 kg, taller parts needing 310 mm of Z travel and tapers at 260 mm, with a slightly finer best finish.
