VH-8 Hydraulic machine vice by Vertex — 7,500 kgf clamping force, 0–300 mm opening

The VH-8 is a hydraulic machine vice designed for firm, repeatable clamping across a wide opening range, suitable for heavy-duty milling and machining operations.

• 7,500 kgf clamping force
• Opening 0–300 mm for large workpieces
• Accuracy ±0.02 mm for repeatability
• Robust 110 kg construction

Consistent clamping power for stable machining

The VH-8 delivers a high clamping force through a controlled hydraulic system, providing 7500 kgf that secures workpieces during interrupted cuts and heavy milling. This level of hold reduces vibration and contributes to a steady tool engagement, which in turn improves surface finish and tool life. The hydraulic actuation enables consistent pressure across cycles, minimising variability between setups and supporting reliable throughput in batch production environments. Integration into existing machine tool workflows is simplified by the vice's compact control of clamping action.

Flexible opening and robust build for diverse parts

A wide opening range of 0–300 mm allows the vice to accommodate varied component sizes without frequent fixture changes, cutting set-up time and increasing machine utilisation. The vice’s substantial mass — 110 kg — and robust construction deliver resistance to movement under load, supporting accurate machining of asymmetric or tall workpieces. The physical dimensions permit assessment of fit on most milling tables; the solid build also reduces the need for supplementary bracing in many applications. Designed for repeatable mechanical performance, the unit streamlines workholding for mixed-production environments.

Precision engineering that reduces rework and increases output

With an accuracy specification of 0.02 mm, the vice enables precise, repeatable clamping that helps to maintain tight tolerances across serial parts and reduces the incidence of rework. The geometry and surface contact design of the vice contribute to predictable reference points for measurement and machining, supporting quality assurance processes. Backed by Vertex's manufacturing standards and the distribution expertise of Metav Werkzeuge, the product forms part of a dependable workholding solution that supports process stability and long-term operational reliability.
