Hydraulic machine vice VMCH-6 — 4,500 kgf clamping force, 0–350 mm opening (Vertex)

The Hydraulic machine vice VMCH-6 is a hydraulically operated clamping device designed for industrial machining and workshop use, offering an extra-large jaw opening for oversized components.

• 4,500 kgf clamping force for heavy work
• Extra-large 0–350 mm jaw opening
• Cast-iron body for long-term stability
• Precision tolerance 0.01 mm

Secure hydraulic clamping for heavy machining

The VMCH-6 uses a hydraulic actuation system to deliver a steady 4,500 kgf of clamping force, which ensures workpieces remain fixed under heavy cutting loads. Hydraulic clamping produces a consistent pressure curve compared with manual or mechanical vises; this reduces micro-movement during roughing and finishing operations and improves tool life. The robust actuation also lowers operator variability, making the unit suitable for repeat production runs where consistent clamping pressure matters.

Wide opening and stable construction for large workpieces

A jaw opening of 0–350 mm allows the vice to accommodate larger components or fixtures that would not fit standard machines, extending the vice’s applicability across milling and drilling tasks. The body is manufactured from cast-iron, a material selected for its excellent damping properties and dimensional stability; its mass (approx. 63.5 kg) helps absorb cutting forces and reduces chatter, delivering a steadier machining process. The compact overall dimensions support installation on a range of machine tables while still providing a large usable throat.

High repeatability and machining precision

The clamping system is specified to an accuracy of 0.01 mm, a level of repeatability that supports precision milling and fine finishing operations. Such tolerance is critical when the same clamping reference must be used across multiple setups or when interchangeable fixturing is required. The vice’s repeatable performance reduces setup time between batches and contributes directly to quality assurance in small-series and production environments.

Built for workshop efficiency and long service life

Hydraulic operation minimises manual effort during clamping and unclamping, speeding up cycle times without compromising holding power. The combination of sturdy construction and straightforward mechanical layout keeps routine maintenance simple and predictable, supporting continuous operation on production lines. Designed as a professional clamping solution, the unit pairs well with machining centres and jigs where durability and stability are priority requirements.
