Precision machine vice VMP-8A — mechanical, modular with optional hydraulic actuation (Vertex)

The Precision machine vice VMP-8A is a modular mechanical vice designed for secure workholding in machining applications, offering high clamping force and a variable jaw opening for a wide range of components

• High clamping force 2000 kgf
• Adjustable opening 0–200 mm
• Precision accuracy 0.01 mm
• Modular design with optional hydraulic actuation

Reliable clamping that keeps production on tolerance

The vice delivers a clamping force of 2000 kgf, which provides the stability required for heavy-duty machining and reduces the risk of part movement during cutting. Combined with a verified accuracy of 0.01 mm, the unit supports consistently repeatable setups, lowering scrap rates and rework. The 0–200 mm opening range accommodates diverse workpiece sizes without the need for frequent fixture changes, improving process efficiency and throughput in serial and single-part production.

Durable construction for prolonged service life

Manufactured from alloy steel, the body and jaws are engineered for rigidity and wear resistance, helping to maintain alignment under load. The vice’s mass of 66.3 kg contributes to vibration damping and bench stability, which is particularly beneficial when machining at higher feeds or during plunge operations. Robust materials and design translate into extended maintenance intervals and predictable performance, so machines stay productive for longer with fewer interruptions.

Flexible modularity and optional hydraulic operation

The modular concept permits straightforward adaptation of the vice to specific workflows: manual mechanical versions suit occasional clamping, while the optional hydraulic actuation simplifies repeated cycles and reduces operator effort in high-volume environments. Hydraulic integration can shorten cycle times and standardise clamping pressure across a production run, supporting consistent component quality. The modular layout also facilitates upgrades and retrofitting without full replacement of the fixture base.

Easy integration and clear technical transparency

Designed for straightforward mounting in machining centres and toolroom benches, the vice supports rapid changeovers and consistent datum referencing. The solid construction and clear technical parameters make it simple to specify the unit for CAM setups and inspection routines. For customers requiring additional data sheets, drawing files or configuration options, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical support and can supply mounting details and recommendations to match the vice to existing workholding systems.
