Hydraulic machine vice VNC-100FV by Vertex — modular 20 kN clamping for precise machining

The Hydraulic machine vice VNC-100FV is a modular clamping unit designed for workshop and production machines, providing robust hydraulic clamping for reliable part fixation.

• 20 kN clamping force for secure fixation
• Modular design for flexible setup
• Cast iron construction for high rigidity
• Accuracy 0.01 mm for precise positioning

Consistent clamping for reliable production

The hydraulic design delivers repeatable clamping pressure, which, combined with a 20 kN rated hold, reduces part movement during cutting and finishing. The vice's cast iron body dampens vibration and helps maintain tool life, while the hydraulic actuation removes manual torque variation that can affect outcomes. This combination translates into fewer rejects and a steadier machining cycle, supporting stable throughput on milling and drilling machines.

Modular layout adapts to varied setups

A modular concept reduces changeover time: the vice is offered in two table sizes (100×150 mm and 100×228 mm), enabling selection according to part dimensions and fixture space. The modular approach allows integration into different machine tables and fixture recipes, simplifying repeatable positioning. For applications where multiple part formats are processed, modularity minimises downtime and streamlines fixture management.

Precision that reduces rework and saves time

Designed for accurate positioning, the unit achieves accuracy 0.01 mm, which helps to meet tight tolerances on small to medium components. Its compact vertical profile of 103 mm and a mass of 19 kg contribute to a low centre of gravity and secure mounting, supporting high‑precision setups without excessive bulk. As a result, less manual rework is required and cycle time consistency is improved in serial production.

Robust build for workshop environments

The vice is a hydraulic machine vice built from durable materials suited to industrial use. The solid construction and clean hydraulic actuation reduce maintenance points compared with purely mechanical clamping systems. Where consistent clamping force and long‑term stability are priorities, this clamping unit provides a balance of durability and predictable performance that fits machine shops and jobbing environments alike.
