VMC-130M Precision Machine Vice — compact, power‑amplified with 3,000 kgf clamping force (Vertex)

The VMC-130M is a compact, power‑assisted precision vice designed for secure workholding in machining centres and workshop milling applications.

• Compact, power-amplified design
• 3,000 kgf clamping force
• Opening range 0–180 mm
• Accuracy to 0.01 mm

Secure clamping for demanding machining operations

The central benefit of this workholding solution is its high clamping force, specified at 3,000 kgf, which ensures stable fixation even under heavy cutting loads. High holding power reduces component vibration and tool chatter, improving surface finish and prolonging cutter life. The vice’s power-assisted mechanism converts operator input into consistent clamping pressure, which is advantageous where repeatable force application is required across series production. This results in fewer re‑clamps, less scrap and a smoother machining process overall.

Precision and repeatability in a compact footprint

Designed with workshop space and setup speed in mind, the unit offers an opening range of 0–180 mm and an accuracy of 0.01 mm, supporting precise positioning of workpieces. The compact dimensions (130 x 490 x 147 mm) and a moderate weight of 39 kg make the vice straightforward to mount on machine tables while keeping its centre of gravity low for stability. The tight tolerance rating denotes the vice’s capability for repeatable results across multiple setups, making it suitable for precision components where dimensional consistency is essential.

Robust construction and flexible actuation for industrial use

Constructed from cast iron, the vice provides rigidity and dampening that benefit heavy‑duty machining. Available in mechanical and hydraulic actuation variants, the system adapts to different workshop preferences: mechanical operation offers simplicity and low maintenance, while hydraulic actuation provides rapid, evenly distributed clamping pressure for frequent, automated cycles. The design supports integration into CNC environments as a dependable clamping device from Vertex, meeting the needs of both small job shops and production lines.
