Magnetic Clamping Plate VG-1020 — 250 x 500 mm working surface, 50 mm height (Vertex)

The Magnetic Clamping Plate VG-1020 is a workshop-grade magnetic chuck designed for secure workholding during milling, grinding and light turning operations in production and toolrooms.

• 250 x 500 mm working surface
• 50 mm plate height
• Robust 50.3 kg construction

Consistent clamping for repeatable machining results

A magnetic chuck delivers fast, reproducible workholding that reduces set-up time and minimises part distortion. The VG-1020 combines a substantial working surface with a low-profile 50 mm height to keep the machining centre of gravity stable while allowing good access for cutting tools. The measured magnetic force ensures reliable contact across the entire plate, which translates into higher repeatability between batches and fewer rework cycles. For workshops that prioritise cycle stability, this magnetic clamping solution supports steady, measurable improvements in throughput.

Robust design that supports industrial workflows

Heavy-duty construction provides a secure base for demanding tasks: the plate’s mass of 50.3 kg enhances vibration damping and helps maintain clamp integrity under load. The solid build reduces chatter and supports consistent surface finish quality when paired with standard milling or grinding processes. The combination of robust construction and a substantial work area enables longer uninterrupted machining runs, benefiting production environments where downtime for re-clamping is costly.

Clear integration into existing fixtures and processes

The plate’s rectangular 250 x 500 mm format is compatible with common machine table sizes, simplifying fixture planning and reducing the need for bespoke adaptors. The relatively low profile supports flexible fixturing, making it possible to use conventional parallels and supports without compromising the clamping field. Where magnetic workholding is preferred for speed and non-invasive contact, this clamping plate offers a pragmatic balance between accessibility and secure retention.

Maintenance and reliability for continuous use

Magnetic chucks require routine inspection and cleaning rather than complex maintenance procedures. With periodic surface cleaning and avoidance of heavy contaminants, the unit maintains its holding power and service life. The plate’s design emphasises longevity and predictable performance, helping workshops plan maintenance intervals in line with production schedules rather than reacting to unexpected failures. This predictability supports better planning and cost control over the lifecycle of the tool.

FAQ

How does a magnetic clamping plate improve setup times? A magnetic clamping plate, such as the Magnetic Clamping Plate VG-1020 from Vertex, reduces mechanical fixturing because parts are held by magnetic force, shortening fixture and alignment steps compared with mechanical clamping.

Can the VG-1020 be used for precision milling and grinding? Yes, the VG-1020’s stable working surface and mass contribute to reduced vibration and improved surface finish, making it suitable for many milling and grinding applications in production and toolrooms.

What maintenance is required to keep magnetic performance stable? Regular cleaning of the plate surface and removal of swarf and coolant residues will maintain magnetic performance; the VG-1020 benefits from simple, time-efficient upkeep rather than complex servicing.
