How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MG24R cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Mitsubishi Electric MG24R 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 MG24R is a wire EDM with 23.6 in (599 mm) of X travel, 15.7 in (399 mm) of Y and 12.2 in (310 mm) of Z, driven by linear shaft motors with glass scale feedback. It takes a workpiece up to 41.3 x 32.3 x 12 in (1,049 x 820 x 305 mm) and 3,307 lb (1,500 kg). That is mid-size territory: die sections and mold inserts with real mass fit, yet the machine itself stays at 7,700 lb (3,493 kg).
The table is 33 x 25.2 in (838 x 640 mm) and 3-sided. With one side of the frame open, clamping plans drawn for a closed four-sided frame have to be checked against the layout instead of assumed to carry over. The workpiece envelope is also wider and deeper than the table, so on large plates the weight limit and the way the edges are supported decide what can be loaded.
Taper capacity is generous for the Z travel. U and V move ±3 x ±3 in (±76 x ±76 mm) and the listed maximum is 15° at 10.25 in (260 mm) thickness, which covers tapered relief through most of the workpiece height. Wire tension is adjustable over 200 - 2,550 g and the smallest start hole is 0.02 in (0.51 mm). The table states no wire diameter range, so confirm wire sizes before quoting fine-detail work.
Control is the Mitsubishi Electric M800 with a 19 in touch panel. The table also lists a positioning guarantee of 10 years; ask what it covers and on what terms. For the floor plan, the machine measures 105.8 x 119.3 x 84.6 in (2,687 x 3,030 x 2,149 mm) and the fluid system is a separate unit of 37.1 x 91.4 x 35 in (942 x 2,322 x 889 mm) weighing 770 lb (349 kg) dry. Its 227 gal tank is filtered to 3 microns through 4 paper filter elements, and once filled it will weigh far more than the dry figure.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Linear shaft motor drive with glass scale feedback on 23.6 in (599 mm) of X and 15.7 in (399 mm) of Y travel
- Takes workpieces up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) and 41.3 x 32.3 x 12 in (1,049 x 820 x 305 mm)
- Taper cutting to 15° at 10.25 in (260 mm) thickness, with ±3 x ±3 in (±76 x ±76 mm) of U and V travel
- Mitsubishi Electric M800 control with a 19 in touch panel
- Filtration to 3 microns through 4 paper filter elements on a 227 gal tank
- A positioning guarantee of 10 years is listed in the table
Limitations
- The 33 x 25.2 in (838 x 640 mm) table is 3-sided, so fixturing that relies on a closed four-sided frame needs rethinking
- No wire diameter range, cutting speed or rapid traverse figure appears in the table; get those in writing before comparing machines
- Z travel ends at 12.2 in (310 mm), which rules out taller blocks
- The fluid system is a separate 37.1 x 91.4 x 35 in (942 x 2,322 x 889 mm) unit that needs its own floor space next to the machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 41.3 x 32.3 x 12 in (1,049 x 820 x 305 mm), width by depth by height, and up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg). The cutting travel inside that envelope is 23.6 in (599 mm) in X and 15.7 in (399 mm) in Y, so a plate at the full size cannot be cut edge to edge in one clamping. Z travel is 12.2 in (310 mm).
02
The listed maximum is 15° at 10.25 in (260 mm) thickness. The U and V axes that tilt the wire travel ±3 x ±3 in (±76 x ±76 mm). On thinner work the same U and V travel allows the angle to be held with room to spare, but the table states only the one figure, so ask the builder for the taper at other thicknesses if a job depends on it.
03
The MG12 is the smaller frame: its table is 25.2 x 21.3 in (640 x 541 mm), 3-sided, and it weighs 5,940 lb (2,694 kg), including fluid system. The MG24R has a 33 x 25.2 in (838 x 640 mm) table and weighs 7,700 lb (3,493 kg) before the 770 lb (349 kg) fluid system is added. The MG24 is listed with the same table, the same M800 control and the same 7,700 lb (3,493 kg) machine weight as the MG24R, so those rows do not show where the two differ. Ask the builder to spell that out before choosing between them.
04
Very nearly. The MV2400R lists travels of 23.6 in (600 mm), 15.7 in (400 mm) and 12.2 in (310 mm) on a 33.0 × 25.2 in (840 × 640 mm) table and weighs 7,716 lb (3,500 kg). The MG24R lists 23.6 in (599 mm), 15.7 in (399 mm) and 12.2 in (310 mm) on a 33 x 25.2 in (838 x 640 mm) table at 7,700 lb (3,493 kg). Size will not decide between them; the MG24R's table adds a linear shaft motor drive with glass scale feedback and the M800 control.
05
The machine is 105.8 x 119.3 x 84.6 in (2,687 x 3,030 x 2,149 mm), width by depth by height, and weighs 7,700 lb (3,493 kg). The fluid system stands beside it at 37.1 x 91.4 x 35 in (942 x 2,322 x 889 mm) and 770 lb (349 kg) dry, with a 227 gal tank. The table gives no electrical or air figures, so take those from the installation drawing.
