Precision machine vice VMP-8C by Vertex — 2,000 kgf clamping, 0.01 mm accuracy

The Precision machine vice VMP-8C is a modular workholding solution for heavy-duty machining, available as a mechanical vice with the option of hydraulic actuation for faster, repeatable clamping.

• 2,000 kgf clamping force for heavy-duty holds
• Precision tolerances down to 0.01 mm
• Opening range 0–400 mm for varied workpieces
• Alloy steel body for long-term rigidity

Reliable clamping for consistent production

Secure, vibration-free clamping has a direct effect on cycle stability and repeatability. The VMP-8C achieves a rated 2,000 kgf clamping force, which reduces micro-movement under load and helps preserve tool life and component tolerances. With a verified accuracy of 0.01 mm, the vice supports tight dimensional demands and lowers the need for rework. These characteristics translate into fewer scrapped parts and a steadier machining process when producing series or single precision components.

Flexible setup for diverse machining tasks

A broad opening range of 0–400 mm and a modular concept permit adaptation to different workpiece sizes and clamping strategies. The option for hydraulic actuation enables quicker, repeatable clamping cycles where automation or higher throughput is required, while the solid mass of 81.3 kg gives the assembly inherent stability on the machine table. The compact footprint (170 × 695 × 135 mm) supports integration on a variety of machining centres without excessive space demands, making the vice suitable for shops that mix small-batch precision with occasional larger fixtures.

Built to last — materials and accuracy you can trust

Constructed from alloy steel, the vice body is engineered for stiffness and wear resistance to maintain alignment over long service intervals. The specified 0.01 mm precision is a product of tight manufacturing tolerances and robust construction; this level of accuracy ensures repeatable datum positioning and reliable reference surfaces for downstream operations. The modular layout also simplifies maintenance and upgrade paths, reducing downtime and allowing replacement of wear parts without the need for a full unit exchange.
