Mitsubishi Machines

Mitsubishi machines are particularly well known for their EDM technology, where the company has been one of the leading manufacturers of wire EDM and sinker EDM machines for several decades.

Because EDM machining is used to produce extremely precise tooling and complex part geometries, Mitsubishi EDM machines remain widely used in industries such as aerospace manufacturing, medical device production, injection mold manufacturing, and high-precision tooling applications.

Mitsubishi Wire EDM Machines

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) machines are used to cut conductive materials using a thin wire electrode and electrical discharge energy. These machines are commonly used for producing precision tooling, dies, and complex components that would be difficult to machine using traditional cutting tools.

Mitsubishi wire EDM machines are widely recognized through the FA Series, FX Series, and MV Series platforms.

FA Series

The FA Series was widely used during the 1990s and early 2000s and helped establish Mitsubishi as one of the leading EDM manufacturers.

Common machines include:

• FA10 (1990s – early 2000s)
• FA20 (1990s – early 2000s)
• FA30 (1990s – early 2000s)

In this naming convention, the number generally reflects the machine size and work envelope.

FX Series

The FX Series represented an updated generation of Mitsubishi wire EDM machines introduced in the 2000s.

Machines such as the FX10 and FX20 provided improvements in cutting speed, accuracy, and control technology.

MV Series

More recent Mitsubishi wire EDM machines are part of the MV Series, introduced during the 2010s.

Common machines include:

• MV1200
• MV2400
• MV4800

These machines incorporate advanced control systems and improved wire handling technology designed to increase cutting speed and accuracy.

Mitsubishi Sinker EDM Machines

Sinker EDM machines, sometimes called ram EDM machines, are used to produce cavities in conductive materials by using a shaped electrode.

These machines are commonly used in injection mold manufacturing, die making, and tooling applications.

Mitsubishi sinker EDM machines are commonly found in the EA Series.

Popular models include:

• EA8 (2000s – present)
• EA12 (2000s – present)
• EA28 (2000s – present)

In this naming convention, the EA designation identifies the sinker EDM machine family, while the number indicates the machine size and machining capacity.

Sinker EDM machines are essential in tool and die shops where complex internal shapes must be produced with extremely tight tolerances.

Mitsubishi Hole Popper EDM Machines

Hole popper EDM machines are used to drill small, precise holes in conductive materials. These machines are commonly used for creating start holes for wire EDM operations or producing cooling channels in molds and dies.

Mitsubishi hole drilling machines are typically part of the ED Series.

Machines such as the ED24 and ED30 are used in tooling environments where very small holes must be produced with high accuracy.

These machines are often used in conjunction with wire EDM machines as part of a complete EDM machining workflow.

Mitsubishi Laser Cutting Systems

Mitsubishi also manufactures advanced laser cutting machines used in sheet metal fabrication environments.

The company produces both CO₂ laser cutting machines and fiber laser cutting systems, allowing fabrication shops to process a wide range of materials and thicknesses.

Mitsubishi CO₂ Lasers

CO₂ laser machines were widely used in fabrication shops throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Mitsubishi machines in this category often belong to the ML Series.

Common machines include:

• ML3015 (1990s – 2010s)
• ML2512 (1990s – 2010s)

The numbers in the ML naming structure often reflect the sheet size capacity, such as 3m x 1.5m cutting tables.

Mitsubishi Fiber Lasers

Fiber lasers represent the newer generation of laser cutting technology and are widely used for high-speed cutting of sheet metal.

Mitsubishi fiber laser machines are commonly part of the eX Series.

Popular models include:

• eX-F Series (2010s – present)

These machines offer improved cutting speeds and lower maintenance compared to older CO₂ laser systems.

Mitsubishi Press Brakes

Mitsubishi also manufactures press brakes used for bending sheet metal components in fabrication environments.

Both hydraulic press brakes and electric press brakes are available depending on the application and required bending precision.

Hydraulic press brakes remain common for heavier bending operations where high tonnage is required, while electric press brakes are often used in applications requiring high precision and energy efficiency.

Press brakes are typically used alongside laser cutting machines and punch presses in a complete sheet metal fabrication workflow.

Why Buyers Look for Used Mitsubishi Machines

Buyers searching for used Mitsubishi machines are often looking for equipment that offers:

• highly accurate EDM machining capability
• durable machine construction
• strong reputation in tooling and mold manufacturing
• reliable laser cutting systems for fabrication shops
• advanced control technology and automation capabilities

Many buyers also search specifically for machine families such as Mitsubishi FA Series wire EDM machines, MV Series EDM machines, or EA Series sinker EDM machines.

Because of this, including these machine families and model numbers helps buyers quickly identify machines that match their production requirements.
