Vertex VJ-400 milling vice — extra-wide opening and high clamping force

The Vertex VJ-400 milling vice is a mechanical workholding solution designed for demanding milling and machining tasks that require wide jaw capacity and steady clamping.

• Extra-wide 0–185 mm opening
• 1,500 kgf clamping force
• 0.02 mm repeatability accuracy
• Robust 25 kg construction

Consistent clamping for precision machining

The vice combines a wide jaw span with measured repeatability to maintain part position throughout machining cycles. With a documented 0.02 mm accuracy and a 1,500 kgf clamping capability, the unit reduces the risk of workpiece shift and minimises corrective machining. This level of stability supports predictable tool paths and contributes to lower scrap rates in series production, offering a tangible productivity advantage for precision-oriented workshops.

Faster setup and handling of larger parts

An extra-wide opening of 0–185 mm means fewer fixture changes and simpler handling of bulky components. The vice’s mass, approximately 25 kg, provides inherent stability that dampens vibration during heavy cuts, shortening cycle times and reducing the need for frequent re-clamping. As a result, machining sequences can be arranged more efficiently, improving throughput on both manual and CNC milling machines without complex fixturing.

Mechanical simplicity for dependable uptime

Built as a mechanical design, the vice avoids the failure modes associated with electronic actuation and keeps maintenance straightforward. Fewer moving subsystems translates into predictable service intervals and easy inspection routines, which supports continuous operation in a busy workshop. The straightforward construction also simplifies routine checks and keeps total cost of ownership low over the product’s service life.

Compact footprint that fits workshop workflows

With external dimensions of 386 x 270 x 135 mm, the vice offers a compact profile that still accepts larger workpieces thanks to its wide opening. The combination of a modest footprint and a generous clamping range makes it suitable as a standard workholding device on many milling tables and benches, improving adaptability across jobs without dedicating extra machine space.
