VMC-100HV – Vertex precision machine vice, mechanical and hydraulic, 0–125 mm opening

The VMC-100HV is a compact, force-amplified precision machine vice for use on milling machines and machining centres, optimised for secure clamping in confined setups

• High clamping force 3000 kgf
• Opening range 0–125 mm
• Cast iron body for stiffness
• 0.01 mm repeatability accuracy

Built for continuous production with dependable clamping performance

The vice is engineered to deliver a high and consistent clamping force, specified at 3000 kgf, which translates into stable holding during heavy cuts and repeated cycles. Because the body is made from cast iron, the assembly benefits from damping of vibrations and dimensional stability, so machining quality remains constant over batches. This combination reduces part rework and supports tighter process control, enabling smoother production flow and fewer interruptions.

Compact footprint that integrates into busy machine shops

With overall dimensions of 100 x 470 x 130 mm and a mass of 27 kg, the unit fits readily on crowded machine tables without sacrificing rigidity. The force-amplified and compact design offers strong bite in a modest envelope, which is particularly useful where table space is at a premium. Mounting is straightforward on standard T-slot tables, and the vice's proportions are chosen to support quick set-ups and efficient workholding in short-cycle environments.

Precision clamping for repeatable results and traceable tolerances

Repeatability is a core benefit: the device is specified with an accuracy of 0.01 mm, ensuring that clamping-related deviations remain minimal across runs. For operators and process planners, this level of precision means fewer alignment checks between operations and better control of final part tolerances. When fine positional control is required, the vice’s repeatability supports downstream inspection and reduces the need for corrective machining.

Robust construction reduces maintenance and increases uptime

The construction emphasises durability: a solid cast iron structure, a mechanical-hydraulic actuation approach and conservative engineering choices lower lifetime maintenance. This results in predictable service intervals and stable clamping behaviour even under sustained use. For procurement and workshop managers, the vice offers a pragmatic balance of performance and longevity that suits both small job shops and production cells seeking trustworthy workholding.
