Precision Machine Vice VMP-5 — Vertex mechanical vice with 1300 kgf clamping force and 0–150 mm opening

The Precision Machine Vice VMP-5 is a mechanical, modular vice engineered for repeatable, secure clamping in precision machining and fixture applications across toolrooms and production benches.

• High-precision repeatability 0.01 mm
• 1300 kgf clamping force for secure holding
• Modular design with optional hydraulic module
• Robust alloyed-steel construction, 16 kg

Consistent accuracy that reduces scrap and inspection time

Built for tight tolerances, the vice delivers a specified accuracy of 0.01 mm, translating into reliable repeatability across series production and complex single-part jobs. That level of precision reduces the need for frequent re-measurement and lowers scrap rates, which supports faster throughput and predictable quality control. The specified repeatability is especially beneficial when paired with CNC machining or fine manual finishing, since stable workpiece positioning minimises vibration-related deviation and tool deflection.

Secure clamping that protects components and tooling

The vice offers a rated clamping force of 1300 kgf, which provides firm workpiece retention during heavy cuts and interrupted machining. A higher clamping force helps to maintain part geometry and reduces micro-movements that can cause tool wear or surface defects. The 0–150 mm opening accommodates a broad range of part sizes without compromising bite depth, so fixtures and soft jaws can be used to protect delicate finishes while retaining rigidity during machining operations.

Modular flexibility for process adaptation

A modular design with optional hydraulic module enables straightforward adaptation to different production needs: from simple mechanical clamping for bench tasks to hydraulic actuation for automated or repeat-cycle setups. Modularity reduces downtime because units can be reconfigured or upgraded without full replacement. The vice’s configuration options make it suitable for jigs, fixtures, test benches and small-series automation where changeover speed and consistent clamping pressure matter.

Durable construction for daily industrial use

Manufactured from alloyed steel and weighing 16 kg, the unit balances mass for stability with a compact footprint (96 x 345 x 80 mm). The robust material choice provides resistance to deformation and ensures long service intervals under standard shop conditions. Design features are focused on minimizing maintenance: accessible wearing surfaces, straightforward lubrication points and a mechanical architecture that tolerates workshop environments while maintaining precision.
