Combining 0.005 mm metrological accuracy with a robust alloy steel design and a compact 75 x 100 x 75 mm footprint delivers repeatable, space‑efficient fixturing for precision machining and inspection. Order the VRS-33 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our experts for application advice VRS-33 — Precision clamping angle, 0.005 mm accuracy (Vertex) the VRS-33 is a precision clamping angle designed for stable right‑angle fixturing in small‑part machining and metrology applications High accuracy 0.005 mm tolerance Robust alloy steel construction Compact 75 x 100 x 75 mm footprint Stable 2.2 kg mass for vibration damping Consistent tolerances for finished parts The VRS-33 provides a declared 0.005 mm accuracy, which translates into reliable squaring and repeatability when setting up workpieces for milling, drilling or inspection. This level of precision reduces the need for iterative adjustments on the machine and shortens setup cycles. The stated tolerance should be interpreted as the maximum deviation under normal operating conditions; in practice, the fixture supports high‑precision tasks where controlled geometries and consistent datum alignment are essential. Explanation of the figure: 0.005 mm denotes the permissible deviation from true 90° after manufacturing and quality control. Durable construction that supports process stability Manufactured from alloy steel, the unit combines structural rigidity with long service life. The dense material contributes to a higher mass for passive damping, which helps reduce vibrational influence during cutting operations and contributes to consistent finishes. The design focuses on secure clamping and stable contact surfaces; the construction therefore benefits both short production runs and repetitive tasks where fixture wear could otherwise affect accuracy. The robust build also eases handling during frequent mounting and demounting. Space-saving design with easy integration With compact dimensions of 75 x 100 x 75 mm and a mass of 2.2 kg, this clamping angle is suited to confined set‑ups and multi‑fixture arrangements on smaller machine beds. The reduced footprint allows closer packing of workholding devices while maintaining stable support for small to medium components. The moderate weight provides sufficient inertia for vibration damping without imposing excessive load on positioning stages or rotary fixtures. When paired with complementary tooling, the unit supports versatile fixturing strategies without consuming valuable bench or table space.
