VMCH-4 Hydraulic machine vice (Vertex) — 2,500 kgf clamping, 0–200 mm opening

The VMCH-4 hydraulic machine vice is a high-capacity clamping solution designed for heavy-duty machining and precision workshops, offering a hydraulic drive and an extra-large opening for versatile workholding.

• Hydraulic drive with high clamping force
• Extra-large 0–200 mm opening
• Cast iron construction for stability
• High precision: 0.01 mm
• Weight approx. 26 kg for easy handling

Secure heavy and awkward workpieces with consistent force

The vice delivers a 2,500 kgf clamping capability via a robust hydraulic system, ensuring consistent seating of components during milling, drilling and other machining tasks. The extra-large 0–200 mm opening permits secure gripping of larger or asymmetrical parts without the need for frequent re-fixturing, which reduces setup time and improves throughput. Hydraulic actuation smooths pressure application, minimising chatter and helping maintain surface quality under load, a decisive advantage for repetitive production runs.

Precision and rigidity that support tight tolerances

Built from cast iron, the vice provides a stable contact surface and resistance to distortion during clamping cycles, supporting repeatable positioning with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. This level of precision translates to predictable results when finishing or reaming operations are required; the nominal accuracy figure indicates the consistency of jaw alignment and the vice's suitability for jobs where small deviations matter. At approximately 26 kg, the unit balances mass for stability with manageable handling for installation or reorientation on machine tables.

Practical workshop integration and dependable provenance

The vice is a hydraulic model intended for integration on machine tables where reliable clamping force and a wide opening are priorities. The model VMCH-4 from Vertex fits applications ranging from toolroom work to serial production where secure, repeatable clamping reduces scrap and rework. Its constructive simplicity supports routine maintenance and inspection, and the robust design reduces the frequency of resets or shimming. The overall package promotes steady productivity and lower process variance in the workshop environment.
