VAV-4 Machine vice by Vertex — Tiltable and freely rotatable with 800 kgf clamping force

The VAV-4 is a tiltable, freely rotatable machine vice designed for secure clamping and precise machining across workshop and production environments.

• Tiltable and freely rotatable clamping solution
• High clamping force of 800 kgf
• Precision repeatability to 0.01 mm
• Opening range 0–104 mm for varied workpieces

Improved machining accuracy through measurable precision

Built for environments where consistency matters, this vice delivers precision with a documented repeatability of 0.01 mm, reducing the need for rework and minimising cycle variation. The accurate clamping behaviour stabilises components during cutting and milling, which translates into fewer scrapped parts and more predictable downstream processes. The documented tolerance figure supports process planning and quality control, making the vice suitable for both small-batch production and repetitive tasks in jobbing shops.

Faster set-ups with tilt and swivel flexibility

The tiltable and freely rotatable design reduces the number of repositioning steps required during multi-axis or complex setups. Parts can be angled and rotated on the vice itself, shortening fixture times and increasing throughput. The integrated adjustment options enable quicker alignment to the tool path, which supports leaner workflow and improved machine utilisation while preserving clamping stability for accurate machining.

Strong clamping force for demanding operations

With a rated clamping force of 800 kgf, the vice holds workpieces securely during heavy cutting and high-feed operations. Robust clamping reduces micro-movement under load and contributes to consistent surface finish and dimensional control. The vice’s capacity to withstand demanding cutting forces makes it a practical choice where rigidity and tool life are priorities, enabling longer uninterrupted production runs.

Compact footprint and stable mounting for shop-floor reliability

The compact footprint, including a base of 140 x 190 mm, allows stable mounting on standard machine tables without occupying excessive space. The vice’s overall height and balanced mass support secure installation while the moderate weight of 21.4 kg ensures manageable handling during machine loading. This combination of compactness and stability suits both dedicated CNC cells and versatile workshop machines that require reliable, repeatable clamping in constrained spaces.
