Pneumatic Precision Machine Vice VMC-5P — 6,000 kgf clamping force, 0–150 mm opening (Vertex)

The Pneumatic Precision Machine Vice VMC-5P is a pneumatically operated clamping solution designed for high-precision workholding on milling machines and machining centres.

• 6,000 kgf clamping force
• 0–150 mm adjustable jaw opening
• Cast iron construction for stability
• 0.01 mm positioning accuracy

Stable clamping for consistent part quality

The vice’s 6,000 kgf clamping force and cast iron body create a stable contact between workpiece and table, reducing vibration and tool chatter during heavy cutting. This stability translates into fewer rejects and less finish machining, which improves throughput in batch production. With a clearly specified 0–150 mm jaw travel and rigid construction, setups remain reproducible; once clamped, the workpiece is held securely for milling, drilling and finishing operations. The combination of mass and stiffness is particularly beneficial where dimensional repeatability is required across multiple cycles.

Faster cycles through pneumatic actuation and precise positioning

Pneumatic actuation provides a rapid and reliable clamping sequence that shortens cycle times compared with manual tightening. The actuated mechanism is designed for integration with existing machine tool pneumatics, enabling automated clamping within programmed cycles. Positioning is specified to 0.01 mm, which means that the clamping unit supports high repeatability and minimal repositioning during secondary operations. For workshops aiming to increase efficiency, the pneumatically controlled vice reduces idle time between operations while ensuring the same high degree of precision for each clamped component.

Compact footprint and practical workshop integration

With external dimensions of 130 × 520 × 160 mm and a mass of 38 kg, the vice fits readily on standard machine tables without excessive overhang. Its pneumatic actuation removes the need for prolonged manual handling, and the durable cast iron construction minimises wear under continuous use. The clamping unit is supplied under the designation VMC-5P and has been engineered for straightforward alignment and routine maintenance; routine inspection focuses on pneumatic lines and sealing elements, keeping downtime low. Clear technical specifications aid planning for fixtures and allow uncomplicated integration into production lines.
