How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MV2400R cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from Mitsubishi Electric. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
With 23.6 in (600 mm) of X travel, 15.7 in (400 mm) of Y and 12.2 in (310 mm) of Z, the Mitsubishi Electric MV2400R is a mid-size wire EDM whose workpiece limit of 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) is what separates it from a small-part machine. A die shoe or mold base can go on whole.
Its place in the family is easiest to see by weight. The MV1200R is the step down: 15.7 in (400 mm), 11.8 in (300 mm) and 8.7 in (220 mm) of travel at 5,952 lb (2,700 kg). The MV4800S is the step up, with 31.5 in (800 mm), 23.6 in (600 mm) and 20.1 in (510 mm) at 13,007 lb (5,900 kg). This machine weighs 7,716 lb (3,500 kg), much nearer the small frame than the large one, and it rapids at the same 51.2 in/min (1,300 mm/min) as both.
The table is 33.0 × 25.2 in (840 × 640 mm), against 33.0 × 22.0 in (840 × 560 mm) on the MV2400S, which has the same travels. Maximum workpiece size is 41.3 × 32.3 × 12.0 in (1,050 × 820 × 305 mm). Because X travel is 23.6 in (600 mm), a plate at the full 41.3 in (1,050 mm) width cannot be cut edge to edge in one clamping; plan such jobs as two setups or keep the features within the travel.
Taper capacity is 15 degrees at 10.2 in (260 mm), with ±3.0 × ±3.0 in (±75 × ±75 mm) of U and V travel. The V350-V generator works with wire of 0.004–0.012 in (0.1–0.3 mm), and the minimum start hole is 0.02 in (0.5 mm).
Site needs are in proportion: a 105.8 × 119.3 in (2,687 × 3,030 mm) footprint, 84.6 in (2,150 mm) of height and a 227 gal (860 L) dielectric system. The table lists no control, electrical or air figures, so those come from the builder's installation data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) of workpiece capacity on a machine that itself weighs 7,716 lb (3,500 kg)
- 33.0 × 25.2 in (840 × 640 mm) table, deeper than the 33.0 × 22.0 in (840 × 560 mm) table of the MV2400S
- 12.2 in (310 mm) of Z travel and a 15 degree taper at 10.2 in (260 mm)
- Loads plates up to 41.3 × 32.3 in (1,050 × 820 mm)
- ±3.0 × ±3.0 in (±75 × ±75 mm) of U and V travel
Limitations
- X travel of 23.6 in (600 mm) is well short of the 41.3 in (1,050 mm) maximum workpiece width, so long plates need re-clamping
- Needs a 105.8 × 119.3 in (2,687 × 3,030 mm) footprint and holds 227 gal (860 L) of dielectric
- Workpieces taller than 12.0 in (305 mm) do not fit; the MV4800S has 20.1 in (510 mm) of Z travel
- No control or power supply row is listed for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The rows shown for both models differ only in the table. The MV2400R has a 33.0 × 25.2 in (840 × 640 mm) table and the MV2400S a 33.0 × 22.0 in (840 × 560 mm) one. Travels of 23.6 in (600 mm), 15.7 in (400 mm) and 12.2 in (310 mm), the 7,716 lb (3,500 kg) weight and the 51.2 in/min (1,300 mm/min) rapid traverse match. Ask the builder what else separates them.
02
Up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) and 41.3 × 32.3 × 12.0 in (1,050 × 820 × 305 mm). The wire reaches 23.6 in (600 mm) by 15.7 in (400 mm) of that area without re-clamping, and Z travel is 12.2 in (310 mm).
03
The maximum taper angle is listed as 15 degrees at 10.2 in (260 mm). U and V travel, which produces the angle, is ±3.0 × ±3.0 in (±75 × ±75 mm). With a workpiece height limit of 12.0 in (305 mm), the full angle is therefore not stated for the tallest parts the machine accepts; ask for the figure at full height if you need it.
04
The footprint is 105.8 × 119.3 in (2,687 × 3,030 mm) and the height 84.6 in (2,150 mm). The machine weighs 7,716 lb (3,500 kg) and its dielectric system holds 227 gal (860 L), so the floor has to carry the machine, the fluid and a workpiece of up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) together.
05
When the part is taller or the cut longer than this frame allows. The MV4800S has 31.5 in (800 mm) of X, 23.6 in (600 mm) of Y and 20.1 in (510 mm) of Z travel on a 42.5 × 34.3 in (1,080 × 870 mm) table, and weighs 13,007 lb (5,900 kg). The MV2400R stops at 12.2 in (310 mm) of Z and weighs 7,716 lb (3,500 kg), so the larger machine is a much bigger installation.
