VQC-125HC Hydraulic Machine Vice — 40 kN clamping force, 0–283 mm opening (Vertex)

A VQC-125HC hydraulic machine vice designed for heavy-duty machining, offering a large opening and stable clamping for milling, drilling and grinding operations.

• Hydraulic actuation for reliable clamping
• Large opening 0–283 mm for oversized workpieces
• 40 kN clamping force for stable machining
• Cast-iron body for vibration damping
• High positional accuracy 0.01 mm

Secure clamping for heavy machining

The vice combines a 40 kN clamping force with a cast-iron body to deliver exceptional workpiece stability under load. The substantial clamping force reduces micro-movement during aggressive cutting, which in turn improves surface finish and extends tool life. The heavy construction also contributes to vibration damping, meaning less chatter during high-feed operations and more consistent results across production batches.

Adaptability through a wide opening and hydraulic control

With an opening range of 0–283 mm, the device accommodates a broad variety of component sizes, making it suitable for flexible job-shop environments as well as dedicated production cells. The hydraulic actuation option speeds up clamping cycles and ensures uniform force across the jaw faces, which shortens set-up times and reduces manual handling. This adaptability supports efficient changeover and consistent fixturing procedures.

Precision positioning for finishing and inspection operations

Engineered with a positional accuracy of 0.01 mm, the vice enables repeatable seating and alignment of workpieces for precision machining and post-process inspection. The stable clamping and fine positional control minimise rework and help meet tight tolerances, particularly on finishing passes and precision drilling. The unit’s design supports accurate fixturing without complex external aids.

Compact footprint with workshop-friendly handling

Despite its robust capabilities, the vice maintains a compact footprint—dimensions are 135 x 478.5 x 140 mm—allowing secure mounting on standard machine tables without excessive space demands. Weighing 42.5 kg, the assembly is substantial enough for stability yet manageable for installation and repositioning in a workshop environment. The overall design aims to balance durability with practical workshop logistics.
