Hydraulic Machine Vice VMCH-5 — Hydraulic clamping with 0–265 mm opening (Vertex)

A robust Hydraulic Machine Vice VMCH-5 engineered for secure clamping in machining environments, featuring an extra-large opening and high clamping force for heavy-duty work

• Hydraulic clamping action for secure hold
• Extra-large 0–265 mm opening capacity
• 4,500 kgf clamping force for heavy work
• Cast iron construction, mass 45.5 kg

Built for heavy-duty clamping and stability

The vice is manufactured from cast iron, giving it substantial mass and vibration damping for stable machining. The heavy construction, at 45.5 kg, reduces movement under load, which directly benefits surface finish and tool life when working on demanding operations. Because the body is rigid and well balanced, the clamp keeps workpieces steady during milling, drilling or turning, translating into fewer set-ups and consistent cycle times for production environments.

Consistent clamping force for repeatable results

Hydraulic operation delivers a reliable, even hold across the jaw faces, with a rated 4,500 kgf clamping force that secures components for heavy cutting conditions. The unit's precision 0.01 mm specification supports tight tolerances and repeatability: this figure refers to the vice’s repeatability and positional consistency, helping to maintain part accuracy across batches. Clear specification of force and tolerance makes process planning and fixture design straightforward for production engineers.

Flexible workpiece handling with an extra-large opening

An opening range of 0–265 mm accommodates a broad spectrum of component sizes, reducing the need for multiple fixtures and increasing shop-floor flexibility. The broad jaw travel suits both compact parts and larger workpieces, allowing a single clamping solution to cover varied tasks. For workshops that handle mixed production runs, this capacity minimises changeover time and simplifies tooling inventories.

Compact footprint, straightforward integration

With compact external dimensions of 143 x 550 x 140 mm, the vice fits comfortably on most machine tables while providing substantial clamping capability. The hydraulic design offers controlled clamping force without manual over-tightening, improving operator safety and consistency. The combination of robust materials and a compact layout supports straightforward integration into CNC machines and manual mills where precision and uptime are priorities.
