VQC-100 machine vice (mechanical) – large opening, 30 kN clamping force by Vertex

The VQC-100 is a mechanical machine vice engineered for secure clamping of medium-sized components in machining and production environments, featuring a wide opening and industrial-grade construction.

• Large 0–128 mm opening
• 30 kN clamping force
• Cast iron construction
• Accuracy 0.01 mm

Consistent high-force clamping for reliable machining

A compact yet heavy-duty clamping solution, the vice combines a cast iron construction with a rated 30 kN clamping capacity to minimise deformation and vibration during cutting operations. The robust base and precision-machined guideways deliver accuracy 0.01 mm, which translates into stable tool engagement and fewer setup corrections between batches. For shops requiring predictable clamping pressure and minimal workpiece shift, this configuration reduces rework and shortens cycle times without complex adjustments.

Efficient workflow through wide opening and repeatable setups

The mechanical vice design offers a large opening range of 0–128 mm, enabling quick accommodation of varying part heights and cross-sections on the same machine table. The unit’s mass (23.2 kg) and dimensions (110 x 356.5 x 120 mm) provide a secure footprint while remaining straightforward to mount and align. Where hydraulic actuation is preferred, an optional hydraulic variant is available, allowing process planners to select the actuation method that best suits automation level and table space. Consistent clamping force and engineered guideways improve repeatability, reducing inspection cycles and supporting just-in-time production demands.

Practical maintenance and application flexibility

Designed for shop-floor resilience, the vice’s materials and mechanics are selected for long service life with routine maintenance. The hardened contact surfaces and stable body reduce wear and preserve positional precision over extended production runs. The unit suits general machining and production use, from prototyping to small-series manufacturing, and integrates well with standard milling and drilling fixtures. With Vertex engineering and a straightforward mechanical layout, the design balances ease of use with the precision expected in industrial clamping tools while keeping operational complexity low.
