VCV-13180 Machine vice — self‑centring, optional swivel base for flexible machining

the VCV-13180 machine vice is a mechanical clamping solution designed for general machining and production jigs, offering high repeatability and a wide opening range for versatile part handling.

• Self‑centring jaws for quick set‑up
• Clamping range 0–180 mm
• Clamping force 1000 kgf
• Robust cast iron construction

Consistent precision for production tasks

The vice delivers accuracy 0.01 mm, a specification that translates into predictable part positioning and consistent machining results. Such fine tolerance is achieved through a precise jaw guidance and a self‑centring mechanism, which reduces the need for repeated alignment when changing workpieces. This level of precision supports processes that demand tight tolerances, minimises rework and contributes to a steadier throughput on milling or drilling machines.

Faster set‑up and greater flexibility at the machine

A self‑centring design and a wide 0–180 mm opening facilitate quick clamping of varying part sizes without extensive fixturing. Where positioning flexibility is required, the vice can be supplied with an optional swivel base, allowing angular adjustments without additional fixtures. These features reduce non‑productive time during tool changes and set‑up, improving overall efficiency on the shop floor while keeping operations straightforward.

Built for heavy‑duty daily use

Made from cast iron and weighing 21 kg, the vice offers stable support and vibration damping during machining. The specified clamping force 1000 kgf ensures secure holding for heavy or irregular workpieces, enhancing tool life by preventing movement under load. The robust construction and mechanical simplicity mean low maintenance needs and a long service life, making the unit a dependable choice for workshops that require rugged, repeatable clamping solutions.
