V-8V Prism Block — Vertex prism block in fine‑grain cast iron with 0.05 mm accuracy

The V-8V Prism Block is a robust precision support for inspection benches and machining fixtures, designed to stabilise and align cylindrical workpieces during measurement and tooling operations.

• Fine‑grain cast iron construction
• Measurement accuracy 0.05 mm
• Stable 16.7 kg mass for vibration damping
• Compact dimensions 103×206×143 mm

Consistent measurement support through mass and material

The combination of fine‑grain cast iron and a substantial 16.7 kg mass provides a stable base that reduces measurement scatter and dampens vibrations during both static inspection and light machining tasks. Heavy mass minimises movement that would otherwise affect repeatability; the material choice contributes to thermal stability and wear resistance, which supports long‑term measurement consistency. These properties make the block especially suitable where small deviations can compromise part acceptance and downstream assembly.

Precise geometry that reduces setup error

A well‑defined V profile ensures reliable seating and repeatable alignment of round bars, shafts and cylindrical components. By centring parts in the trough, the prism geometry reduces lateral shift and angular misalignment, which simplifies comparative measurements with micrometres or a precision caliper. The specified accuracy of 0.05 mm describes the manufacturing tolerance of the seating surfaces and indicates the expected maximum deviation under normal conditions, enabling process planners to account for this when setting inspection limits.

Practical integration and handling in the workshop

With compact dimensions of 103×206×143 mm, the block fits inspection benches and modular fixturing systems without occupying excessive space. The mass contributes to a secure feel on the bench and resists displacement during clamping or when measuring longer workpieces. The unit is straightforward to position and pairs well with common measurement aids such as V‑blocks, clamping straps and gauge stands, supporting efficient workflows in quality control and small batch production. The construction also supports routine cleaning and bench usage typical for metrology equipment.

FAQ

What materials is the prism block suitable for supporting?
The V-8V prism block by Vertex is designed to support cylindrical components made of metals commonly inspected in workshops; its fine‑grain cast iron base provides stable seating for steels and non‑ferrous bars during measurement.

How does the specified accuracy affect inspection results?
An accuracy of 0.05 mm for the seating surfaces defines the maximum expected deviation of the block geometry; this value helps to establish measurement uncertainty budgets when using the V-8V prism block in comparison measurements.

Can the block be used with a precision caliper or micrometer?
Yes, the prism profile and stable mass make the unit suitable for use with a precision caliper or micrometer; it centres round parts and reduces errors caused by part movement during measurement.

Is the prism block easy to integrate into existing inspection benches?
The compact footprint and substantial mass allow straightforward placement on inspection benches and integration with clamping aids, making the V-8V practical for both fixed benches and portable inspection set‑ups.

Where can the V-8V be sourced and are spare parts available?
The V-8V (SKU V-8V) is distributed by Metav Werkzeuge; for information on availability and accessory options consult Metav or request the manufacturer's documentation.
