VK-8 Milling Vice — Mechanical milling vice with 1,400 kgf clamping force and 0–146 mm opening (Vertex)

The VK-8 Milling Vice is a mechanical clamping device designed for stable workholding on milling machines and machining centres, suitable for precision metalworking tasks.

• 1,400 kgf clamping force
• 0–146 mm workpiece opening
• High precision: 0.02 mm accuracy

Reliable force and repeatable accuracy for demanding machining

The vice delivers a clamping force of 1,400 kgf, providing secure fixation of components during heavy cutting and interrupted machining. The high holding capacity, combined with a specified accuracy of 0.02 mm, reduces the need for repeated set-ups and ensures repeatable positioning across batches. For production environments where cycle-time and dimensional conformity matter, this workholding solution supports consistent throughput and minimal rework.

Stable construction and clear mounting dimensions for quick integration

Engineered as a mechanical milling vice, the unit’s mass and dimensions contribute directly to stability: with a weight of 59 kg and compact external dimensions of 609 x 350 x 190 mm, the assembly resists vibration and chatter under load. The robust build simplifies fixturing on standard machine tables and helps maintain tool life by reducing unwanted movement. Clear physical data allows straightforward planning for machine set-up and fixture design.

Versatile opening range for small to medium components

With an opening range of 0–146 mm, the vice accommodates a wide spectrum of part sizes commonly encountered in jobbing and small-series production. The specified opening range describes the maximum jaw travel for clamping workpieces and supports flexible part handling without multiple vice changes. Where gentle but firm clamping is required, the device offers reliable grip while enabling correct alignment and surface contact for finishing operations.

Designed for consistent shop-floor performance and predictable results

The vice’s mechanical concept prioritises durability and simple service routines, supporting continuous operation in industrial workshops. The combination of robust clamping, defined accuracy, and repeatable jaw travel reduces set-up variation and improves first-pass yield. For procurement and production planning, this translates into fewer stoppages and a dependable basis for process control, especially in milling applications demanding tight tolerances.
