Prism Pair VBC-197 — precision prism pair with clamping bracket and compact 150 x 64 mm base by Vertex

The Prism Pair VBC-197 provides stable support and positive clamping of cylindrical workpieces for inspection, setup and light machining tasks

• Precision support for cylindrical workpieces
• Integrated clamping bracket for secure fixation
• Compact 150 x 64 mm base for tight setups
• High mass 14.7 kg for vibration damping

Stable support that improves measurement repeatability

The prism assembly delivers a precision seating surface that minimises lateral movement during measurement or alignment. Built as a matched pair with an integrated clamping bracket, the system ensures the workpiece sits concentrically and remains immobile while gauges or indicators are applied. The rigid construction is designed to reduce micro-movements and therefore lower measuring uncertainty, which supports faster, more reliable inspection cycles in the workshop or metrology lab.

Compact footprint with robust stability for confined benches

A small base footprint of 150 x 64 mm allows placement on crowded benches or alongside other fixtures without compromising stability. The substantial mass of 14.7 kg provides inherent stability and vibration damping, which is particularly beneficial when checking roundness or run-out with dial indicators or when using a height gauge in close proximity. The compact design balances floor area economy with the mechanical solidity required for accurate results.

Quick, repeatable clamping that saves setup time

The clamping yoke secures the workpiece against the prism surfaces so that set-up is repeatable from one part to the next. By reducing manual re-adjustment, the fixture shortens preparation times and supports higher throughput on inspection benches. For applications where consistent axial positioning matters, the paired prisms maintain alignment and facilitate straightforward transfer of parts between measuring stations.

Versatile use in inspection and light workshop operations

Suitable for support, inspection and light machining tasks, the unit acts as a simple, reliable fixture for cylindrical components. The design supports typical metrology workflows such as run-out checks, concentricity assessments and comparative gauging. As a tool for both production floors and quality-control benches, the assembly aids technicians in achieving consistent results while keeping handling and set-up intuitive.
