Uniquely productive, ultra-precise, always reliable: The EA12-V seriesIt can be universally applied and permanently reduces your operating costs: the EA12-V
series. On account of its reliability, capability and availability, it is one of the most sought
after erosion systems in the world. Its high-quality design and multifaceted technological
innovations are equally as persuasive. The newly developed high performance FP80V
generator provides the highest productivity and best results on the work piece.
The generator’s strengths are fully utilised with regard to the processing of tungsten
carbide - even with standard copper electrodes. The combination of the lowerable
working tank together with the optional left/right hand placement of the generator/control
cabinet, makes automation as flexible as possible. The EA12-V which is constructed
with a solid, cast steel frame also has a digital direct drive as well as an absolute measuring
system. In addition, the EA12-V is equipped with a direct linear way measuring system that
guarantees consistent precision.

Compact Mechanical Engineering Double Way Measuring System Direct Shaft Drives Easy Maintenance
Solid and durable cast steel design, directly powered ball screws gives you the
“Best in German mechanical engineering” made in Japan! Compact and robust mechanical
engineering based on cast steel. Guarantees better rigidity and stability with respect to this
machines design. Furthermore, there is the high resolution, digitally controlled direct drive
system ( 0.1 mm) and the generously sized spindles. Both features, together with the double
way measuring system in closed loop, ensure consistent precision over an extremely long
period of time. The space-saving machine footprint reflects the optimal ratio of travel range and
machining height. Another space-saving feature is the lowerable working tank that makes access
to the workspace readily available. Optimal maintenance procedures refer to the ease in which
you can exchange the Long-Life Filter as well as access the fully automatic central lubrication
system during processing. Needless to say, all EA12-V machines are checked for quality via laser
measurement and other extensive controls, because ”precision requires perfection”.
Convincing in all aspects: The superior machine concept
The classic cast steel machine design guarantees a long-service life and a solid machine base.
The lowerable working caseautomatically carries the dielectrictank along with it. This ensuresultimate space savings and bestaccessibility to the working area.
Thermally regulated machine body.
The CNC recognises thermally caused
variations and correctsthem in real time. Thermally caused
variations are corrected at more than 50 %.
Direct drive and generously sized spindles. The digital AC direct drive system, in conjunction with optimallypositioned ball screws, allows for the highest accuracyover the longest period of time. The spindle is arranged exactly in the centre of the load in order to ensure a “soft” axis movement.

Why should you settle for the second best? You work with the machine on a daily basis, therefore, the controls must be made as
comfortable as possible for you. Benefit from the unmatched reliability of the world
market leader for customer-specific CNC Control Systems - benefit from Mitsubishi Electric!
The Mitsubishi 64 bit CNC control is the most user-friendly control system on the market,
as it was specifically designed for EDM die-sinking. The logical menu structure and
the clear graphic display of the main functions allows you to navigate and operate quickly.
The “Graphic Check” function allows you to perform a simulation of your program
within a 2D or 3D display. The built-in “expert support”, E.S.P.E.R., automatically
creates the correct generator settings from your data and provides you with valuable
support, particularly with respect to difficult processing. The “Machining Monitor”
shows the current processing status in order to facilitate the monitoring of the erosion
process. Several evaluation and optimisation programs support you during the
determination of the optimal and most economic machine settings.

Mitsubishi Electric’s newly developed FP80V Generator is the new standard in spark erosion.
The combination of reduced electrode wear and high erosion rates, coupled with higher precision and the
best possible surface quality, is sure to increase your options. The EA 12-V is the product to reference
with respect to the processing of tungsten carbide, particularly for small cavities and delicate surfaces.
