VHO-8 Hydraulic Milling Vise by Vertex — 0–300 mm opening, 0.01 mm accuracy

The VHO-8 Hydraulic Milling Vise is a hydraulically actuated machine vice designed for secure clamping during milling and general machining of medium-sized workpieces, offering precise positioning and stable holding across repetitive cycles.

• Hydraulic clamping for consistent force
• 0–300 mm jaw opening for versatile workpieces
• High repeatability with 0.01 mm accuracy
• Stable 59.1 kg mass for vibration damping

Achieve consistent clamping for repeatable precision

Hydraulic actuation provides a steady and reproducible clamping force that reduces variation between cycles and helps maintain machining tolerances. The machine vice’s hydraulic operation eliminates manual torque inconsistencies common with mechanical screws, resulting in improved process stability. With a documented 0.01 mm accuracy this system supports tight tolerance work, so set-up times and scrap rates are reduced while cycle reliability increases.

Stability and rigidity that protect surface finish and tool life

A substantial mass contributes directly to machining stability: the vice’s 59.1 kg mass helps dampen vibrations during heavier milling passes, keeping the workpiece motion minimal. The broad 0–300 mm jaw opening accommodates a range of component sizes without compromising clamping integrity. This combination of mass and jaw capacity benefits surface finish and extends tool life by reducing chatter and uneven loading during cuts.

Simple integration into production workflows and predictable maintenance

Designed for machine-tool environments, the hydraulic vice fits automated and manual milling setups where repeatability and uptime matter. The hydraulic principle reduces operator effort during clamping and unclamping, which speeds up workholding cycles. Routine checks of the hydraulic supply and seals will ensure ongoing performance; when maintained, the unit delivers consistently measurable results that align with industrial production demands.
