VCV-10130 machine vice by Vertex — self-centring, high clamping force

The VCV-10130 is a self-centring mechanical machine vice designed for precise milling and drilling operations, optionally available with a swivel base for flexible workpiece orientation.

• Self-centring jaw mechanism
• 1000 kgf clamping force
• 0–132 mm opening range
• 0.01 mm positional accuracy

Stable clamping for consistent machining outcomes

A robust clamping solution, the vice delivers a 1000 kgf holding force combined with a cast iron body to resist deformation under load. This construction increases repeatability in series production and reduces rework: parts remain secure during heavy cuts, so machining tolerances are maintained. The mass of the unit contributes to vibration damping, improving surface finish and tool life while ensuring the workholding remains reliable throughout longer cycles.

Faster setup through self-centring and swivel options

The integrated self-centring jaw action simplifies part loading and alignment, reducing setup time and minimising the need for repeated manual adjustments. Where component orientation varies, the optional swivel base permits quick rotation of the clamped piece without reclamping, shortening cycle times and increasing throughput. A nominal 0–132 mm opening range covers a wide variety of workpieces, supporting flexible job planning in mixed-production environments.

Precision that supports accurate machining strategies

With a quoted positional accuracy of 0.01 mm, this clamping device supports fine-tolerance work and precise referencing for toolpaths. For operators new to high-precision setups, that figure means deviations are measured in hundredths of a millimetre, allowing consistent alignment between successive operations. The vice’s mechanical design translates spindle forces into secure holding, so cutting parameters can be pursued at higher feed rates while maintaining dimensional integrity.

Built for workshop durability and practical use

Manufactured in cast iron and designed as a mechanical unit, the vice tolerates the rigours of daily shop use with minimal maintenance. The simple, rugged mechanism reduces downtime and facilitates routine inspection and lubrication. Its overall dimensions and weight contribute to a stable base when mounted on milling or drilling tables, and the model’s engineering supports repetitive tasks across small-batch and medium-series production.

FAQ

Which materials is the vice constructed from and what does that mean for durability?
The Vertex VCV-10130 machine vice is made from cast iron, which provides high rigidity and good wear resistance for reliable durability in routine milling and drilling tasks.

Is a swivel base included and how is it used?
An optional swivel base is available for the VCV-10130; when fitted, it allows the clamped workpiece to be rotated precisely without reclamping, aiding multi-angle machining.

What does the accuracy value of 0.01 mm imply for typical workshop use?
An accuracy of 0.01 mm indicates the vice supports fine positioning within hundredths of a millimetre, suitable for tight tolerance machining and consistent part-to-part alignment.

What maximum workpiece width can be clamped?
The vice provides an opening range of 0–132 mm, covering a broad span of component sizes commonly encountered in metalworking.

How does the clamping force affect machining performance?
The 1000 kgf clamping force ensures firm workpiece retention under heavy cutting loads, improving stability, surface finish and reducing the likelihood of movement during aggressive machining.
