VDC-40 workpiece driver — compact precision for clamping applications by Vertex

The VDC-40 workpiece driver is a compact component designed to engage and stabilise small workpieces in clamping and inspection setups, optimised for precision measurement and repeatable positioning in workshop environments.

• Diameter 48 mm for compact setups
• Suited for calipers Ø31–Ø42 mm
• Lightweight: 0.2 kg for easy handling

Precision fit for consistent measurement results

The compact design delivers a 48 mm running diameter that supports consistent positioning across repetitive cycles. Built for use in small-scale clamping and inspection, the device provides predictable contact geometry that reduces variation during measurement. Integration with precision instruments is straightforward thanks to the specified Ø31–Ø42 mm caliper compatibility, which simplifies verification steps and shortens setup times while maintaining high precision for quality control.

Low inertia and easy handling to speed up workflows

At a mass of 0.2 kg, the workpiece driver lowers inertial loads on rotating or indexing fixtures, making handling and adjustment faster without compromising stability. The lightweight construction supports quicker changeovers and reduces operator fatigue during frequent fixture adjustments. As a result, cycle times are improved and measurement sequences can be executed with greater efficiency, offering a direct productivity benefit in small-batch and high-mix production scenarios.

Reliable compatibility and practical application in clamping systems

Designed by Vertex for straightforward integration, the component sits harmoniously within common clamping arrangements and inspection stations. Compatibility with standard caliper ranges removes ambiguity during inspection and ensures interchangeability across setups. The VDC‑40 workpiece driver therefore contributes to a predictable measurement chain, aiding traceability and process reliability without demanding specialised adapters or extensive rework of existing tooling.
