VMC-8P Pneumatic Precision Machine Vice by Vertex — 9,000 kgf, 0–200 mm opening

The VMC-8P is a pneumatically actuated precision machine vice designed for secure, repeatable clamping in milling centres and CNC machining applications

• 9,000 kgf clamping force
• Opening range 0–200 mm
• Cast iron body for high rigidity
• Accuracy 0.01 mm repeatability

Consistent heavy‑duty clamping for demanding machining

The vice offers a 9,000 kgf clamping force, delivering stable holding for heavy cutting and interrupted cuts; this reduces micro‑movement, lowers the risk of chatter and contributes to longer tool life. The high clamping force, combined with a precision‑ground jaw interface, translates into measurable improvements in surface finish and dimensional stability. Engineers benefit from a predictable setup that minimises rework and optimises throughput, while production planners gain from a workholding solution that supports repeatable results across serial runs. The emphasis is on dependable, quantifiable performance rather than marketing hyperbole.

Pneumatic actuation for rapid, repeatable cycles

Pneumatic operation provides fast, uniform closing and opening cycles that integrate smoothly with automated workflows and tool‑change routines. The pneumatic actuation ensures consistent pressure application with minimal manual intervention, which is especially valuable in multi‑fixture setups or lights‑out machining. Repeatability at 0.01 mm level means part repositioning and unclamping do not introduce significant variation, aiding processes that require interchangeability. For process engineers, the combination of speed and repeatability equates to reduced cycle times and improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Rigid construction and compact footprint for stable setups

Constructed from cast iron, the vice body offers inherent damping and rigidity that counteracts cutting forces and helps maintain clamping integrity. With a compact footprint of 200 x 610 x 173 mm and a mass of 74 kg, the unit provides a stable base without occupying excessive table area, making it suitable for both single‑station fixtures and multi‑vice configurations. The 0–200 mm opening range covers a broad spectrum of component sizes, while the robust build supports continuous shop‑floor use with minimal maintenance. The design focus is longevity and precision retention under regular production loads.
