How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MG12R cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Mitsubishi Electric MG12R that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Mitsubishi Electric MG12R shares its frame figures with the MG12: the same 25.2 x 21.3 in (640 x 541 mm) 3-sided table, the same M800 control with a 19 in touch panel and the same 5,940 lb (2,694 kg) weight including the fluid system. Mitsubishi Electric's table does not put into figures what the R changes, so ask the builder which features separate the two before choosing.

On its own numbers the MG12R is a 15.7 in (399 mm) by 11.8 in (300 mm) machine with 8.7 in (221 mm) of Z travel. Parts as large as 31.9 x 27.6 x 8.5 in (810 x 701 x 216 mm) and 1,100 lb (499 kg) fit in the tank, so a die plate much wider than the stroke can be clamped and cut one zone at a time.

The wire side deserves a close look. Tension ranges from 200 to 2,550 g, a wide span, although no wire diameters are listed to go with it. The minimum start hole is 0.02 in (0.51 mm). With ±2.36 x ±2.36 in (±60 x ±60 mm) of U and V movement, taper reaches 15° at 8 in (203 mm) thickness.

Axes run on linear shaft motors with glass scale feedback, and positioning carries a guarantee of 10 years. Water is kept in a 145 gal tank with 3 microns filtration through 4 paper filter elements and 1.4 cu ft of ion exchange resin. Allow 79.7 x 106.4 x 79.3 in (2,024 x 2,703 x 2,014 mm) for the machine. The MG24R is the next size up, on a 33 x 25.2 in (838 x 640 mm) table at 7,700 lb (3,493 kg).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Wire tension range of 200 - 2,550 g
Glass scale feedback on linear shaft motor axes, covered by a 10 years positioning guarantee
Mitsubishi Electric M800 control with a 19 in touch panel
Holds workpieces of 1,100 lb (499 kg) in a machine weighing 5,940 lb (2,694 kg) with its fluid system
Taper of 15° at 8 in (203 mm) thickness

Limitations

The MG12R table does not mention an automatic drop door, which the MG12 table lists as standard; confirm how the tank opens
Travel of 15.7 in (399 mm) covers about half the width of the largest 31.9 in (810 mm) workpiece, so big plates need repositioning
No cutting speed, surface finish or wire diameter range is given in the table
Height capacity stops at 8.5 in (216 mm)

Best For

Tool-room die and punch work inside 15.7 x 11.8 in (399 x 300 mm) Jobs with start holes as small as 0.02 in (0.51 mm) Tapered cuts to 15° in sections up to 8 in (203 mm) thick Shops with 79.7 x 106.4 in (2,024 x 2,703 mm) of floor available for a wire machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the MG12R and the MG12?

The published figures are almost identical: both show a 25.2 x 21.3 in (640 x 541 mm) table, the M800 control with a 19 in touch panel and 5,940 lb (2,694 kg) including the fluid system. The MG12 table lists an automatic drop door as standard and the MG12R table has no such row. Beyond that the tables do not say what the R stands for, so ask the builder.

02 What wire tension and start hole size does the MG12R support?

Wire tension is 200 - 2,550 g and the minimum start hole diameter is 0.02 in (0.51 mm). The table does not list the wire diameters the machine accepts, so confirm the range if the work needs fine wire for small radii or heavy wire for speed.

03 How large and heavy a workpiece fits the MG12R?

Maximum workpiece dimensions are 31.9 x 27.6 x 8.5 in (810 x 701 x 216 mm) as width, depth and height, with a weight limit of 1,100 lb (499 kg). Axis travel is 15.7 in (399 mm) in X, 11.8 in (300 mm) in Y and 8.7 in (221 mm) in Z.

04 What water treatment does the MG12R have?

A 145 gal tank, filtration to 3 microns using 4 paper filter elements, and 1.4 cu ft of ion exchange resin. Filters and resin are consumables on any wire machine, so ask the builder about replacement intervals for both.

05 How does the MG12R compare with the MG24R?

The MG24R is the larger machine, with a 33 x 25.2 in (838 x 640 mm) 3-sided table and a weight of 7,700 lb (3,493 kg). The MG12R has a 25.2 x 21.3 in (640 x 541 mm) table and weighs 5,940 lb (2,694 kg) including the fluid system. Both use the M800 control with a 19 in touch panel.
