Precision machine vice VMP-6 – modular mechanical vice with 2000 kgf clamping force

The Precision machine vice VMP-6 is a modular mechanical vice designed for machine-shop clamping tasks, available optionally with hydraulic actuation and suited to secure workpieces within a 0–200 mm opening range

• Modular design with hydraulic option
• 2000 kgf clamping force
• 0–200 mm opening range
• Robust alloy steel construction

Consistent clamping performance that boosts productivity

The VMP-6 delivers consistent clamping through a design focused on force transmission and repeatability. With a rated 2000 kgf clamping force and a defined 0–200 mm opening span, the device secures components for milling, drilling and grinding operations with predictable results. The mechanical actuation ensures stable pressure duringcuts, while the optional hydraulic configuration allows rapid, fatigue-free clamping where cycle times or operator ergonomics are critical. These performance characteristics reduce setup variation and support efficient process planning.

Precision and repeatability for tight tolerances

Accuracy is central to reliable machining: the vice offers an accuracy of 0.01 mm, which supports tight-tolerance setups and consistent part geometry across batches. The jaw alignment and guide geometry are engineered to minimise lateral play and clamping distortion, translating nominal force into secure grip without shifting the workpiece. For shops introducing pre-machined fixtures or repeat runs, this level of precision reduces rework and increases first-pass yield, providing a measurable improvement in production quality.

Durable construction with straightforward maintenance

Built from alloy steel, the vice combines structural rigidity with long service life under shop-floor conditions. The modular concept simplifies replacement of wear items and allows configuration changes without full unit exchange. When specified, the hydraulic option integrates with existing shop hydraulics to reduce manual handling and speed cycle times. Routine maintenance is limited to lubrication of sliding surfaces and periodic inspection of the clamping mechanism, keeping downtime to a minimum and supporting continuous operation.

Suitable for versatile machine-shop applications

Designed for use on milling machines, machining centres and fixture plates, the VMP-6 by Vertex adapts to diverse clamping tasks while weighing 28.5 kg and occupying compact footprints (125 x 420 x 100 mm). The combination of a mechanical base unit and optional hydraulic modules makes the vice appropriate for both small specialist shops and larger production cells where flexibility and robustness are needed. The SKU VMP-6 identifies the standard mechanical configuration for ordering and specification purposes.
