Clamping Ring VFR-06 — 168 mm for 6" soft-jaw attachments, Vertex

The clamping ring VFR-06 is a compact workholding accessory engineered to secure soft-jaw fixtures, optimising set-ups in workshop and bench-mount applications

• 168 mm nominal diameter
• Compatible with 6" soft-jaw attachments
• Lightweight at 1.5 kg for easy handling
• Robust retention for repeatable clamping

Faster, repeatable workholding for consistent parts

The clamping ring is designed to deliver reliable clamping in fixtures that use soft jaws, helping to maintain concentricity and repeatability across short production runs. Its 168 mm nominal diameter fits common jaw layouts, enabling straightforward integration with existing chucks and fixtures. By focusing on secure radial retention rather than bulk, the component reduces micro-movement during machining and finishing, which supports higher first-pass accuracy and fewer adjustments between cycles. The result is a measurable improvement in throughput and part consistency without complex retrofitting.

Reduced setup effort and safer handling

At just 1.5 kg, the component lowers handling strain during tool changes and jaw swaps, shortening changeover time and improving operator ergonomics. The light mass also simplifies manual positioning and alignment when paired with standard soft-jaw attachments, making quick fixtures practical even on compact benches. Combined with the clamping geometry tailored for soft materials, the solution minimises the risk of workpiece deformation while preserving a secure hold—an advantage when sensitive or finished surfaces require gentle yet firm retention.

Seamless integration for workshop workflows

Compatibility with 6" soft-jaw attachments ensures the ring can be introduced into familiar workholding systems without extensive modification. Produced under the Vertex name, the unit supports routine maintenance strategies and straightforward inventory control in precision workshops. Where traceability is important, the VFR-06 designation and associated identifiers simplify stock management and reorder procedures. For operations seeking to harmonise fixtures across machines, the ring offers a compact, purpose-built option that balances accessibility, repeatability and workshop efficiency.
