VQC-125 Machine vice by Vertex — 40 kN clamping force · 0–205 mm opening

A VQC-125 machine vice engineered for heavy-duty workholding in machining centres and toolrooms, offering a large jaw opening and a choice of mechanical or hydraulic actuation for flexible production setups

• 40 kN clamping force
• 0–205 mm jaw opening
• Accuracy 0.01 mm

Precision clamping for consistent machining

The vice delivers a 40 kN clamping force combined with 0.01 mm nominal accuracy, providing a stable reference for repetitive operations and tight-tolerance milling. The specified accuracy denotes the expected variation during repeated clamping cycles, which translates into fewer scrap parts and less rework. Designed as a workholding solution for series production, the device minimises vibration and keeps the cutting tool engaged under constant conditions, supporting shorter cycle times and improved first-pass yields.

Generous opening and adaptable installation

A large 0–205 mm jaw opening accommodates oversized workpieces and reduces the need for multiple setups. The standard configuration is mechanical, with an available hydraulic option for automated clamping in CNC cells. At 36.5 kg and overall dimensions of 135×452×140 mm, the vice balances mass for stability with a compact footprint that fits most machine tables. The combination of wide opening and adaptable actuation reduces setup complexity and increases throughput for mixed-batch production.

Robust construction for dependable service life

Manufactured from cast iron, the workholding device offers inherent damping and wear resistance for demanding shop-floor environments. The solid build supports long-term repeatability with minimal maintenance, and the design is optimised for straightforward mounting and service access. As part of a well-stocked supply chain, the unit is suited to both independent workshops and industrial toolrooms where durability and consistent clamping performance are essential for operational reliability.
