Precision Machine Vice VMP-8D — 2000 kgf clamping, 0–500 mm opening (Vertex)

The Precision Machine Vice VMP-8D is a modular mechanical vice with an optional hydraulic actuation designed for secure clamping in milling, drilling and general machining.

• 2000 kgf clamping force for heavy-duty hold
• 0–500 mm adjustable opening for versatile workpieces
• Accuracy down to 0.01 mm for precise machining
• Constructed from alloy steel for long-term durability

Maximise machining accuracy with consistent clamping

The vice delivers a repeatable clamping result that directly supports part quality and process reliability. Built to provide 2000 kgf of clamping force and an opening range of 0–500 mm, it ensures workpieces are held firmly during high-torque operations. The specified accuracy of 0.01 mm reduces the need for corrective finishing passes, so cycle times and scrap rates fall. Integration of clear numeric specifications allows planners to match the device to fixture plates and machine tables without guesswork, promoting predictable throughput and fewer setup iterations. The product designation VMP-8D is engineered to meet workshop requirements where dimensional fidelity is mandatory.

Flexible configuration to suit production workflows

A modular concept enables adaptation to diverse shop-floor tasks, with the option for hydraulic actuation where faster clamping cycles or remote operation are required. The modular design shortens retrofitting times and reduces the number of bespoke solutions needed across different machines, improving spare-part commonality and maintenance planning. Where manual clamping remains appropriate, the mechanical arrangement offers straightforward handling and minimal training demand. Emphasis on compatibility and easy configuration supports uptime and aligns with lean manufacturing goals, enabling efficient line balancing and smoother changeovers.

Robust material choice for long service life

Manufactured from alloy steel, the vice withstands the demands of daily machining work while maintaining jaw alignment and wear resistance. With a mass of 87.2 kg and compact external dimensions of 170 x 795 x 135 mm, the unit combines solid mass for vibration damping with a footprint that suits many machine beds. The construction reduces the frequency of recalibration and supports stable clamping over prolonged production runs. Designed for machinists and production engineers who require dependable fixtures, the VMP-8D offers a balance of precision and robustness that contributes to consistent part quality and lower long-term ownership effort.
