VMV-50 Low-profile machine vice — high accuracy 0.005 mm | 0–157 mm opening — Vertex

A VMV-50 low-profile machine vice engineered for precise clamping on milling and machining centres, offering a compact design and reliable repeatability for demanding production environments.

• Precision repeatability 0.005 mm
• Clamping range 0–157 mm
• Solid 15.5 kg construction for stability

Consistent precision that reduces rework

The vice delivers accuracy 0.005 mm, giving a reliable baseline for repeat machining operations and reducing the need for costly rework. High repeatability supports tighter tolerances and steadier quality output, which translates into fewer inspection rejects and less downstream adjustment. For workshops aiming to improve first-pass yield, the combination of measured accuracy and stable clamping performance provides a clear efficiency gain.

Space-saving design for modern machine tools

With an external size of 125 x 287 x 100 mm, the unit occupies a compact footprint while still offering a wide effective clamping span. The low-profile form is suited to multi-axis machines and crowded tables where vertical clearance is restricted. This geometry enables closer stacking of workpieces and easier toolpath planning, increasing usable machine time without sacrificing accessibility or setup flexibility.

Mass and build that improve surface finish and tool life

A mass of 15.5 kg contributes to inherent damping and improved resistance to vibration during cutting operations. The resulting steadier workpiece support helps preserve tool life and enhances surface finish quality, particularly under intermittent cutting loads. Combined with the vice’s wide 0–157 mm clamping range, this stability is beneficial for both roughing and finishing passes where consistent clamping force and minimal movement are essential.
