Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from Mitsubishi Electric. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mitsubishi Electric GX-F Advanced is a fiber laser cutting machine, listed on the ML 3015 GX-F ADVANCED platform, with 122.0 in (3,100 mm) of X travel, 61.61 in (1,565 mm) of Y and 4.72 in (120 mm) of Z. The laser is a ytterbium doped fiber source at a 1.07 µm wavelength, offered at 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 16 kW or 20 kW.
The maximum workpiece is 120.1 in (3,050 mm) × 60.0 in (1,525 mm) and 2,094 lb (950 kg). The short Z stroke marks this as a flat sheet and plate machine: the head only has to follow the surface of the material. Table pass height is 35 in (890 mm), the dimension to match when planning carts, towers or other handling equipment around it.
Motion figures are high. Maximum cutting feedrate is 3,937 in/min (100 m/min) and the simultaneous rapid traverse is given as 170 m/min. Positioning accuracy is 0.0019 in/20 in (0.05/500 mm) and repeatability ±0.00039 in (0.0099 mm). The feedrate actually reached depends on material, thickness and the laser power chosen, and the table ties none of those to a speed.
Laser power is the main decision. The table gives one set of travels and one footprint for all seven power levels, so what changes with the source is cutting capacity, and Mitsubishi Electric's table gives no thickness figures by power level. Floor space is substantial at 415.0 in (10,541 mm) × 135.0 in (3,429 mm), and the machine weighs 15,432 lb (7,000 kg).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Seven laser power options from 4 kW to 20 kW on one platform
- Cutting feedrate up to 3,937 in/min (100 m/min) and a simultaneous rapid traverse of 170 m/min
- Workpiece capacity of 120.1 in (3,050 mm) × 60.0 in (1,525 mm) and 2,094 lb (950 kg)
- Repeatability of ±0.00039 in (0.0099 mm) and positioning accuracy of 0.0019 in/20 in (0.05/500 mm)
Limitations
- A footprint of 415.0 in (10,541 mm) × 135.0 in (3,429 mm) needs a long bay
- Z travel is 4.72 in (120 mm), which limits it to flat sheet and plate
- The table lists no cutting thickness by laser power, so capacity has to be confirmed for the power level quoted
- Maximum workpiece weight is 2,094 lb (950 kg), which restricts thick plate at full sheet size

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Seven options are listed: 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 16 kW and 20 kW. The laser type is ytterbium doped fiber with a wavelength of 1.07 µm. The table does not give cutting thickness or speed for each power level, so ask for cutting data at the power being quoted.
02
The maximum workpiece size is 120.1 in (3,050 mm) × 60.0 in (1,525 mm), with a maximum workpiece weight of 2,094 lb (950 kg). Axis travel is 122.0 in (3,100 mm) in X and 61.61 in (1,565 mm) in Y, slightly more than the sheet in both directions, and 4.72 in (120 mm) in Z.
03
Maximum cutting feedrate is 3,937 in/min (100 m/min), and the simultaneous rapid traverse is listed as 170 m/min. Those are axis limits. Real cutting speed is set by material, thickness and laser power.
04
The listed footprint is 415.0 in (10,541 mm) × 135.0 in (3,429 mm), and the machine weighs 15,432 lb (7,000 kg). Table pass height is 35 in (890 mm). The footprint is far longer than the 122.0 in (3,100 mm) X travel, so lay out the full length before choosing a bay.
05
Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.0019 in/20 in (0.05/500 mm) and repeatability as ±0.00039 in (0.0099 mm). These describe axis positioning, not finished part tolerance, which also depends on material, thickness and cutting conditions.
