Vertex VMC-4 Precision Machine Vice with Locking — 1,500 kgf, 0–103 mm opening

The Vertex VMC-4 is a precision machine vice designed for accurate and repeatable clamping in machining applications, offering a compact footprint and secure locking for demanding workholding tasks.

• 1,500 kgf clamping force
• Precision down to 0.01 mm
• Locking mechanism for secure hold
• 0–103 mm opening range
• Solid 14.2 kg body for stability

Consistent accuracy that supports fine machining

The vice delivers precision down to 0.01 mm, ensuring repeatable positioning across successive operations. This level of accuracy reduces rework and supports tight tolerances on milled or drilled components. The measured clamping force of 1,500 kgf provides the stability required to prevent micro-movement during cutting, which translates to improved surface finish and dimensional fidelity. For shops aiming to maintain throughput without compromising quality, the combination of precise guidance and robust force offers a clear operational advantage.

Secure holding and flexible workpiece accommodation

A locking mechanism integrated into the design guarantees secure hold during vibration-prone processes, helping to maintain cut integrity and tool life. The vice accommodates a practical workpiece range with its 0–103 mm opening, making it suitable for a variety of component sizes without frequent fixture changes. The straightforward clamping geometry simplifies setup times while the locking feature ensures that the workpiece remains stationary during heavier passes, providing operational confidence on both one-off and batch runs.

Robust construction for stable machine integration

With a mass of 14.2 kg and compact dimensions of 108 x 374 x 100 mm, this machine vice provides a low centre of gravity and stable base when mounted to a machine table. The solid construction contributes to reduced chatter and steadier cuts, which is particularly beneficial for precision tasks. Its size and rigidity strike a balance between shop-floor robustness and the space constraints of modern machining centres, enabling efficient integration without excessive footprint.
