Centre tip VLC-116 (fixed) — Carbide tip, 60° angle, Vertex

A fixed centre tip VLC-116 designed as a precision locating element for turning and general workholding, providing durable axial support in machining and assembly operations.

• Fixed design for robust axial support
• Carbide tip for excellent wear resistance
• 60° standard tip angle per DIN 806
• 270 mm overall length for deep applications

Durable carbide construction for consistent locating

The VLC-116 is equipped with a carbide tip that provides outstanding wear resistance under repetitive contact and load. The hard tip material reduces deformation at the contact point, which keeps the locating geometry stable over long production runs and minimises rework. As a result, set-up intervals are extended and part repeatability improves, supporting higher throughput without compromising on dimensional accuracy.

Standardised angle for predictable mating and interchangeability

Manufactured to the DIN 806 specification, the centre geometry features a 60° tip angle that ensures consistent mating with standard lathe centres and housings. That standardisation simplifies tool selection and reduces the need for trial fits, while the defined geometry assists in transmitting axial load predictably. For workshops seeking process reliability, the use of standard angles cuts adjustment time and supports reproducible clamping conditions.

Fixed design and extended reach for demanding setups

The fixed construction delivers rigid axial support with a low parts count, lowering the risk of loosening or play in heavy-duty applications. With an overall length of 270 mm, the component suits deeper set-ups where extended reach is needed, while the robust build maintains concentricity under load. This combination of length and rigidity makes the item suitable where secure, repeatable support is required across extended workpiece overhangs.

Clear handling and long service life simplify maintenance

Thanks to the carbide tip and solid construction, the centre tip requires low maintenance and retains functional accuracy across many cycles. Regular inspection is straightforward: check the contact face for visible wear and confirm concentric engagement. The Vertex-crafted component supports predictable downtimes and reduces the frequency of replacements, helping to keep machine uptime high in production environments.
