Vertex VHT-6U — Hydraulic machine vice with 4,500 kgf clamping and 0–300 mm opening

The Vertex VHT-6U is a hydraulic machine vice designed for secure workholding in milling and machining applications, offering high clamping force and side-tilt capability for angled setups.

• Hydraulic operation with high clamping force
• 4,500 kgf clamping capability for heavy work
• 0–300 mm jaw opening for versatile parts
• Side-tilting design for angled machining

Reliable clamping for continuous machining

The Vertex VHT-6U brings hydraulic actuation and a rated 4,500 kgf clamping force to demanding machining tasks, ensuring workpieces remain immobile under heavy cuts. The force is delivered via a compact hydraulic mechanism that reduces operator effort and shortens cycle times, supporting higher spindle loads and consistent machining results. This level of holding power translates into fewer interruptions for re-clamping and a measurable improvement in throughput for production environments.

Flexible positioning for complex geometries

With a jaw travel of 0–300 mm, the vice accommodates a broad range of component sizes without frequent fixture changes. The side-tilting feature extends the vice’s versatility by allowing angled setups directly on the machine table, eliminating time-consuming external fixturing for simple angular operations. This flexibility supports multi-operation workflows and reduces setup complexity for one-off jobs and small batches alike, helping to keep machining sequences efficient and predictable.

Accuracy and stability where precision matters

Designed to deliver repeatable results, the clamping system's specification lists an accuracy of 0.01 mm, backed by a substantial body mass of 93.96 kg that increases rigidity and dampens vibration during machining. The combination of fine positional accuracy and inherent stability supports close-tolerance milling and finishing operations. For shops upgrading from manual vises, the increased rigidity and precision translate into improved surface quality and reduced scrap rates.

Integration into the workshop and maintenance considerations

Constructed for straightforward integration with standard machine tables, the vice’s dimensions (940 x 225 x 235 mm) and hydraulic operation simplify installation and routine use. The robust design reduces the need for frequent adjustment and contributes to longer service intervals, while the side-tilt mechanism offers quick orientation changes without additional adapters. For assistance with compatibility, mounting or application-specific recommendations, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical guidance and product selection support to match the vice to machining processes.
