VBV-6 Milling vice B-type by Vertex — 1000 kgf clamping force, 0–132 mm opening

The VBV-6 milling vice B-type is a mechanically operated workholding solution designed for secure clamping in milling applications, offering robust stability for heavy cuts and accurate positioning in small-batch production and toolmaking.

• 1000 kgf clamping force
• Accuracy 0.01 mm
• Opening range 0–132 mm
• Robust 41 kg body

Stable clamping for heavy milling operations

With a 1000 kgf nominal clamping capacity and a substantial mass of 41 kg, this vice delivers the mechanical stability required for aggressive feed rates and deeper cuts. Mass and clamping force work together to reduce chatter and minimise workpiece movement, translating into improved surface finish and longer tool life. The specified opening range of 0–132 mm accommodates a variety of stock sizes, making the unit suitable for both small components and larger fixture setups. As a mechanical vice of B-type design, it is intended for integration on milling tables where secure, repeatable clamping directly influences productivity and process reliability.

Precision that supports repeatability and tolerance control

An indicated accuracy of 0.01 mm means the vice supports repeatable positioning within tight tolerances, which is essential for precision engineering and serial machining tasks. In practical terms, this level of accuracy helps maintain dimensional consistency part-to-part and minimises downstream inspection and rework. The accuracy figure refers to the repeatability of the clamping and reference surfaces under standard operating conditions; operators and process planners can therefore rely on predictable datum re-establishment when fixtures are removed and reinstalled. This precision underpins efficient quality control and helps align machining results with inspection specifications.

Built for workshop reliability and straightforward integration

The vice’s compact external dimensions (317 x 483 x 143 mm) provide a practical footprint for bench and machine-table mounting while the solid construction offers long-term service life under industrial use. The mechanical actuation reduces complexity compared with driven or hydraulic systems, easing maintenance routines and lowering the need for specialised servicing. As a product from Vertex, this vice aligns with workshop expectations for rugged design and practical handling. Where process planners require clearance for clamps or fixtures, the clear opening range and overall dimensions enable straightforward fixture design without sacrificing the robustness needed for heavy milling cycles.
