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 MP1200 is a wire EDM for small, fine work: 400 mm of X travel, 300 mm of Y and 220 mm of Z over a four-sided hardened table of 640 x 540 mm. Standard wire runs from φ0.10 to 0.30 mm, and φ0.05 and 0.07 mm wire is listed as an option. That option says most about what the machine is for. Wire that thin leaves a narrow kerf and a small inside corner radius, which is what fine punches, narrow slots and miniature die openings depend on.

Mitsubishi Electric lists the X and Y axes under OPT-drive specifications, and the U and V axes, with ±60 x ±60 mm of travel, carry the same Optdrive label. The table gives no taper angle, so judge tapered jobs from the U and V travel and the part height, or ask for the figure.

Capacity is modest, and two limits need reading together. The largest workpiece is 810 x 700 x 215 mm, but the table load stops at 500 kg, and a solid steel block filling those dimensions would weigh far more than that. In practice the envelope tells you how large a plate or frame can go in, and the load limit decides how thick it can be. Height is capped at 215 mm under 220 mm of Z travel.

The working tank is listed as an automatic elevation tank, meaning the machine raises and lowers the tank instead of the operator doing it by hand. The machine weighs 3,100 kg including the dielectric fluid reservoir and occupies 2,025 x 2,702 x 2,015 mm, with the machine unit itself 1,910 x 2,015 mm in width and height. The dielectric tank holds 550 L and is filtered through 2 filter elements, and the water purifier takes 10 L of ion exchange resin.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Optional φ0.05 and 0.07 mm wire below the standard φ0.10 - 0.30 mm range, for narrow slots and small corner radii
Four-sided hardened table of 640 x 540 mm around 400 mm by 300 mm of X and Y travel
X and Y axes listed under OPT-drive specifications, with ±60 x ±60 mm of U and V travel on the same drive
Automatic elevation tank listed as the working tank method
Small installation: 2,025 x 2,702 x 2,015 mm overall and 3,100 kg including the dielectric fluid reservoir

Limitations

Table load is limited to 500 kg, well short of what a solid block at the 810 x 700 x 215 mm maximum would weigh
Workpiece height stops at 215 mm and Z travel at 220 mm, so tall die blocks are out
The φ0.05 and 0.07 mm wire sizes are an option, not part of the standard machine
No taper angle, control or electrical supply row appears in the table; ask for those figures

Best For

Fine-wire work with the optional φ0.05 or 0.07 mm wire Small punches and die inserts inside 400 x 300 x 220 mm of travel Plates and frames up to 810 x 700 mm that stay under 500 kg Shops short of floor space: 2,025 x 2,702 mm overall

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What wire diameters does the MP1200 run?

The standard range is φ0.10 - 0.30 mm. Wire of φ0.05 and 0.07 mm is listed as an option, so a machine ordered without it should be assumed to stop at φ0.10 mm. If the work needs the finest sizes, have the option written into the quotation.

02 How large and how heavy a workpiece fits the MP1200?

The maximum workpiece is 810 x 700 x 215 mm, width by depth by height, and the maximum table load is 500 kg. Travel inside that envelope is 400 mm in X, 300 mm in Y and 220 mm in Z. The weight limit will be reached long before a solid block reaches the full dimensions, so the large envelope suits plates, frames and fixtures holding several small parts.

03 How does the MP1200 table compare with the MG12?

The MG12 is listed with a 25.2 x 21.3 in (640 x 541 mm) table that is 3-sided, and its weight is given as 5,940 lb (2,694 kg), including fluid system. The MP1200 has a table of practically the same size, 640 x 540 mm, but it is a four-sided hardened table, and the machine weighs 3,100 kg including the dielectric fluid reservoir. A four-sided frame lets a part be supported on every edge; a 3-sided one leaves one side open.

04 What drive do the MP1200 axes use?

The table lists the X and Y axis drive as OPT-drive specifications and marks the ±60 x ±60 mm U and V travel as Optdrive as well. It gives no further detail on the drive, and no positioning accuracy figure, so request those from Mitsubishi Electric if the job has a tolerance that depends on them.

05 What does the MP1200 need for installation?

Overall dimensions are 2,025 x 2,702 x 2,015 mm, width by depth by height, and the machine unit alone is 1,910 x 2,015 mm in width and height. Weight is 3,100 kg including the dielectric fluid reservoir. The dielectric tank holds 550 L, with 2 filter elements and 10 L of ion exchange resin in the water purifier. No electrical or air supply row is listed.
