MV-S Series – Power for Production

The three-sided work table is ergonomically built on the Z = 0 level. This way workpieces can be perfectly positioned, even without clamping elements. Highgrade stainless steel components and the stainless steel tank ensure dependability and maintenance-freedom.

…so that you have direct access. This saves time and space and makes workpiece set-up that much easier.

The Tubular Shaft Motor converts energy directly into motion, without contact, without maintenance and above all without loss of precision – long-term. Combined with the 400% faster fibre-optic-­based control, this superior technology can truly show what it is capable of.

The positioning accuracy even of the large MV2400R is < +/- 2 µm over the entire travel path – there’s a genuine 12-year manufacturer warranty for this on all Mitsubishi Electric EDM systems. An assurance of top-level durability.

Your company’s technological edge has a name: ­Tubular Shaft Motor – from world market leader ­Mitsubishi Electric.

What was it about conventional drive systems that bothered developers at Mitsubishi Electric? The need for lubrication, the friction and frictional heat, power consumption, backlash, the cogging moment and above all the possible wear. Only a non-­contact drive overcomes these drawbacks from the outset and is thus an assurance of better results and enhanced dependability over decades.

The Mitsubishi Electric polymer optical fibres have decisive advantages – not only over conventional copper cables, but also over glass fibres. Not only their total resistance to water, but also their high transmission rates combined with minimal space requirements and maximum flexibility are essential for truly progressive EDM systems. The only thing that you as a user notice is the longer service life and enhanced precision.

You’re surely familiar with the cogging torque ma­n­i­fested by a conventional electric motor. It is precisely this cogging torque that is undesirable, as are variations in torque. The Tubular Shaft Motor – the optimal drive for precision applications like electrical discharge machining.

A considered and far-sighted approach is the best safety policy – but what if things have to be done in a rush? An intelligent EDM system that spots and prevents possible collisions contributes to safety at work and saves annoyance and time.

Care, attention and good planning are an assurance of immaculate results, even with the most advanced technology. And should the unexpected nevertheless occur, all the wire-cut EDMs from Mitsubishi Electric come with an in-built “crash protection system”.

The wire-cut EDM systems from Mitsubishi Electric constantly check current axial forces and thus fully ­automatically detect potential accidents before they happen. If there is an obstacle in the travel path, this is electronically detected on the basis of the drive’s load change during the approach and the control ­automatically reverses. Better safe than sorry!

With the ingenious auto-clean function, your tank seal always stays impeccably clean. This ensures long-term precision and saves labour for the user.

Maximum precision and durability ensure the best results in the long run – inclusive of maintenance-­friendliness due to a small number of parts and simple design.

The Intelligent AT is designed for wire thicknesses of 0.10 to 0.30 mm. This way you can master even difficult threading situations with supreme ease.

Response time is decisive

An EDM machine that reacts with greater speed and precision achieves better surface quality faster. The new V350 generator has a significantly higher effective clock rate. The voltage is built up faster and with greater precision thanks to reduced capacitance loss. Thanks to faster voltage build-up, spark duration and working voltage can be lowered. All that you will probably notice is higher surface quality and lower power costs.

4 cuts of Ra 0.30 µm compared to a ­conventional machine.

Even cuts with steps during machining are mastered with precision for reliable processes.

Achieve excellent surface qualities with the
V350 generator.

On small inner and outer corners and complicated geometries, Corner Master 3 comes to your aid. You merely define your priorities, and optimisation is performed accordingly.

During roughing, a bridge is controllably created to hold the waste material – the waste material cannot fall. In this way many features can be rough-machined and, after removal of the waste material, recut – fully automatically and unmanned, overnight and at weekends. Lower costs, higher profits.

Jobs calling for a large number of shapes to be cut out of metal plate used to demand the toolmaker’s presence for several hours. The shapes had to be cut out of the plate, leaving a small rib. The toolmaker then pressed out the rib and removed the metal part from the tank. With the machines from Mitsubishi Electric, such tasks can now be handled as long-running projects overnight or at the weekend without any need for manual intervention.

During roughing, the EDM system separates the part from the waste, but after cutting joins them together again with one or more dot welds. After this, the waste pieces can be removed from the workpiece and collected. The machining programme can then be resumed. On long-running jobs with multiple cut-outs, machine running time is therefore considerably reduced.

MAISART – the solution for small internal and external radii as well as complex geometries. AI ensures the predictive use of optimal parameters depending on the current workpiece geometry – in real time.

The ergonomically designed, intelligent manual control box unites all the relevant functions for control and set-up in a single unit. The integrated LCD display can be individually configured by the operator. Inclusive of buttons for driving all 8 possible CNC axes.

Intuitive operation from the large screen with modern gesture control boosts comfort, while the configura­ble user interface supports the user by allowing the main functional elements to be freely arranged dur­ing daily work.

With step-by-step dialogue guidance, less experi­enced users are piloted through the entire process, from programming through to the start of machin­ing. Checklists make it possible to review all process-­relevant settings and machine states so that machining yields the best-possible results without ­interruption.

The easy-to-grasp display of all the key machining parameters in configurable form keeps everything under control at all times. Clearly visible at a glance are – if desired – machining status, elapsed times, state of maintenance and other data. Configuration couldn’t be simpler.

During the preparation of pending machining tasks, support is provided by overviews of the remaining wire, state of filter cartridges and deionisation ­resin, and other parameters. This way you can prevent ­outages caused by finite consumables or wear parts and optimise machine running times.

The complete machine documents inclusive of maintenance instructions are always available, and the right help is quickly found. Comprehensibility is aided by photos and 3D depiction.

If time is of the essence or you want the machines to take some of the work off your shoulders. Set-up often takes too long; from now on, you can save this time.

Highly accurate probing cycles on the sides and ­corners measure the workpiece precisely. With or without jet stream or even submerged, by means of the cutting wire or with the optional 3D touch probe – just as you wish.

Intelligent user guidance takes you to the finish. The electrical discharge machine takes you quickly to your goal.

Comfortable set-up with the manual control box: standard equipment with Mitsubishi Electric. All essential control functions at hand – wherever you need them.

Both are possible. As a user, you decide whether you do set-up classically by hand or the machine automatically defines the position of your workpiece. Using the cutting wire or pick-up coil – the machine takes care of it for you. It only takes the press of a button.

The inbuilt first step towards automation

Your MV-S from Mitsubishi Electric may come with the easy-to-operate job scheduler as an option. This makes you flexible and paves the way to more extensive automation solutions.

Greater flexibility thanks to adaptable job scheduling: with the simple assignment of priorities, you can quickly respond to changing requirements and squeeze in an urgently needed part with ease. ­Several machining programs can be deposited in the job scheduler and managed there.

This is the easy way to add new jobs during machin­ing or change the order of existing machining op­er­ations. The new job processing system with priority management makes it possible to amend a machin­ing list without interrupting machining.

A machining process is easy to pause even in mid-flow when urgent jobs have to be processed. The control stores the current state of machining. When the inserted job has been completed, machining can be immediately resumed at the point of interruption. Pushbutton flexibility without programming effort.

All the key consumables are monitored online and presented with their anticipated remaining life. This includes display of the remaining life of the wire spool installed in the machine as well as indication of filter pressure* and, calculated from this, the probable period until the next filter change.
* With an optional filter pressure sensor

Machine states depicted over time make capacity utilisation easier to grasp and assist forward-looking production planning. This overview is supplemented by a list of completed machining jobs and the associated machine times and unit costs.

Given knowledge of unit costs and their inclusion in the machine’s own analysis, records of consumption data such as energy consumption*, wire consumption and component wear help with cost analysis and the costing of pending machining jobs.
* With optional digital electricity meter

Rapid online help to reduce downtime and expenditure on service assignments. Applications support with ­direct access to the machine control can provide the machine operator with optimum and rapid assistance when faced with difficult tasks. All in the aid of improving production operations.

Operating and process data can be retrieved at the control. Available as standard is an export function for all process data, operating states, con­sumption data and maintenance states as well as alarms. This way the data from several machines can be viewed and evaluated in consolidated form, through to their integration in higher-order production man­agement systems.

Anti-virus protection is ensured as standard by one of the world’s leading software systems in security control.

You can control the machine and keep an eye on processes, wherever you are. ­Intelligent communication takes the pressure out of work. Ideal combined with automation solutions and high process autonomy with the intelligent AT wire threader.
