VCB-405 clamp by Vertex — adjustable height 0–100 mm, copper platen

VCB-405 is a compact workshop clamp designed for secure fixturing in machine tables and fixtures; suitable for 18 mm T‑slot applications and available in U‑shaped or rotatable configurations.

• Adjustable height 0–100 mm
• Includes copper platen
• Compatible with 18 mm T‑slot
• Clamping force 1.5 kgf

Reliable fixturing for repetitive machining

The clamp offers a robust solution for standard workshop fixturing where repeatability matters. With an adjustable height range of 0–100 mm, the device allows fine vertical positioning without requiring shims, reducing setup time and scrap. The combination of a compact footprint and M16 x 6" bolt interface permits straightforward integration into existing tool tables and fixture plates, supporting consistent clamping across production runs.

Gentle workholding with a copper platen

The integrated copper platen protects delicate workpiece surfaces while distributing clamping pressure evenly. For components that are prone to marking, the softer contact surface minimises cosmetic damage and reduces the need for secondary finishing. This design choice enhances part quality in small‑batch production and repair work where preserving surface condition is as important as holding strength.

Adaptable geometry for mixed operations

Available in an optional U‑shape or rotatable version, the clamp adapts to different workpiece geometries and machining directions. The rotatable variant allows angular alignment for fixtures that require non‑axial clamping, while the U‑shaped option provides low‑profile engagement for narrow parts. Such adaptability reduces the number of bespoke clamps required, streamlining inventory and tooling costs.

Compact mass and clear compatibility data

With a mass of 2.7 kg, the clamp is heavy enough to convey solidity yet light enough to be repositioned manually on benches and tables. Compatibility with 18 mm T‑slots and the specified M16 x 6" bolt means it fits common machine table standards without additional adapters. These clear, measurable parameters support fast purchasing decisions and predictable assembly in workshop setups.

Practical benefits for everyday workshop use

Engineered for dependable everyday use, the product balances ease of handling with functional durability. The modest 1.5 kgf clamping force suits secure holding of lightweight to medium components while the machine‑grade construction reduces wear over frequent cycles. For workshop managers seeking a simple, repeatable clamping element, the unit offers a pragmatic mix of protection, adjustability and standardised mounting.

FAQ

What materials and workpieces is the clamp suited for?
The clamp is intended as a general-purpose workholding element; the VCB-405 clamp by Vertex performs well on standard metal and non-abrasive materials where a moderate clamping force and surface protection from the copper platen are required.

Is the height adjustment tool-free or does it require tools?
Height adjustment requires conventional workshop tools to lock the chosen position; the adjustable height 0–100 mm feature on the Vertex VCB-405 provides precise positioning once secured.

Can the clamp be used on non-standard table slots?
The clamp is designed for 18 mm T‑slot tables; for non‑standard slot sizes, additional adapters may be necessary to ensure correct mounting.
