VQC-100HC Hydraulic machine vice — 30 kN clamping force, 0–196 mm opening (Vertex)

A VQC-100HC hydraulic machine vice engineered for secure, repeatable clamping of large workpieces in machining centres and milling applications

• Hydraulic operation for consistent clamping
• 30 kN clamping force for heavy-duty holding
• Large 0–196 mm opening for diverse parts
• Precision repeatability to 0.01 mm

Reliable clamping for stable production

The hydraulic clamping mechanism delivers consistent force across cycles, reducing rework and setup variations. With a rated 30 kN clamping capacity and proven repeatability to 0.01 mm, the device provides measurable benefits for quality-oriented production: fewer rejects, reliable machining tolerances and a reduced need for manual readjustment. These features support predictable throughput and shorter cycle-time variance, which is important for CNC operations and batch manufacturing.

Handles larger and irregular workpieces with ease

A broad jaw span of 0–196 mm enables secure fixation of larger or awkwardly shaped components that standard vises cannot accept. The wide opening decreases the need for secondary fixtures and allows more parts to be processed without custom tooling, improving flexibility on the machine table. This adaptability helps maintain a steady workflow when jobs vary in size, making the vice a practical choice for job shops and production cells that require quick changeovers.

Robust construction to minimise vibration and downtime

Built from cast iron, the vice benefits from inherent damping properties that reduce vibration during cutting, which in turn improves surface finish and tool life. The solid mass (approx. 26.34 kg) and structural rigidity deliver a stable datum for precision machining. Component surfaces and guideways are designed for longevity, meaning less maintenance and longer intervals between inspections, which supports continuous production in demanding workshop environments.

Easy integration and professional support for installation

The vice is designed for straightforward mounting on standard machine tables and aligns with industrial workflows, enabling fast commissioning and minimal machine downtime. For complex setups or materials requiring special consideration, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical guidance and specification support from Emmerich, ensuring the vice is matched to the application and clamping accessories. This combination of product capability and supplier expertise contributes to operational confidence and predictable delivery performance.
