Overview
The Mitsubishi MV2400R is a large-format wire EDM machine designed for cutting bigger workpieces that exceed the capacity of standard wire EDMs. With X/Y travels of 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) and a maximum workpiece thickness of approximately 305 mm (12 in), it handles large mold plates, die sets, and structural aerospace components.
The MV2400R uses Mitsubishi's V-series technology platform, which provides a balance of cutting speed, accuracy, and value. The machine features precision ball screw drives with optical linear scales for closed-loop positioning. Positioning accuracy is +/- 2 microns.
Automatic wire threading handles wire breaks and feature-to-feature transitions for unattended operation. The machine supports wire diameters from 0.10-0.30 mm for flexibility between speed and detail. The generator provides efficient rough cutting and fine finishing capability in multiple skim passes.
The M80B CNC control is straightforward to operate with a touchscreen interface and comprehensive cutting condition database. The machine includes a large, rigid worktable with T-slot fixturing capability to accommodate heavy workpieces up to approximately 1,500 kg.
New Mitsubishi MV2400R machines price $175,000-$275,000, making it one of the more affordable large-format wire EDMs. Competes with Sodick ALC800G, GF Machining Solutions CUT E series, and Makino U86 in the large-format segment.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Large 600 x 400 mm travel handles oversized mold plates and die sets that standard machines cannot
- 305 mm maximum workpiece thickness accommodates thick plates and tall components
- 1,500 kg workpiece capacity supports heavy mold bases and die sets
- Automatic wire threading enables unattended operation on large jobs that run for hours
- Competitive pricing for a large-format wire EDM -- strong value proposition
- Comprehensive cutting condition database simplifies setup on diverse materials and thicknesses
Limitations
- Ball screw drives provide less positioning precision than the MP series Tubular Shaft Motors
- Surface finish capability is good but not at the ultra-fine level of the MP1200
- Larger footprint requires more floor space and may need reinforced flooring for heavy workpieces
- MV series is positioned as value rather than premium -- lacks some advanced features of the MP line
- Wire EDM is inherently slow for thick-section cutting -- 305 mm thick steel may take many hours per feature

Frequently Asked Questions
01
$175,000-$275,000 new. This is competitive for a large-format wire EDM. Used (2017-2023) $75,000-$150,000.
02
MV2400R is larger format (600x400 vs 400x300 mm) at lower price but with ball screw drives instead of Tubular Shaft Motors. MP1200 offers higher precision and finer surface finish. Choose MV2400R for size, MP1200 for precision.
03
Up to 305 mm (12 inches). Cutting this thick takes significantly longer and wire consumption increases. Most wire EDM work is in the 25-150 mm thickness range.
04
Yes. Automatic wire threading re-threads after breaks or between features. Large workpieces on the MV2400R often require hours of cutting time, making unattended operation essential for productivity.
05
Approximately 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). The large, rigid worktable with T-slot fixturing accommodates heavy mold bases and die plates. Verify floor loading capacity before installing.
