VQC-160LH Hydraulic machine vice by Vertex – 60 kN clamping, 0–355 mm opening

The VQC-160LH is a hydraulic machine vice designed for heavy-duty clamping on milling and machining centres, offering a large opening and repeatable force for reliable production workflows

• 60 kN clamping force
• 0–355 mm wide opening
• Cast iron body for rigidity
• Accuracy 0.01 mm
• Hydraulic operation option

Stable clamping that reduces rework and downtime

A solid cast iron body delivers high stability during cutting operations, which reduces vibration and helps maintain tolerances. The combination of mass and rigidity means the vice holds workpieces more securely under load, lowering the risk of movement that causes rejects. With a 60 kN clamping force, the device is suited to demanding machining tasks, allowing operators to maintain feed rates and cutting depths with confidence while benefiting from fewer tool changes due to part slippage.

Wide opening and hydraulic control for faster setup

The large 0–355 mm opening accepts bulkier components, reducing the need for bespoke fixtures and saving setup time. The hydraulic option provides consistent clamping pressure across cycles, improving repeatability and speeding throughput on batch runs. Hydraulic actuation simplifies clamping and unclamping, which shortens idle time between operations and supports lean production practices by enabling quicker part changeovers without sacrificing holding performance.

Precision alignment and shop-floor robustness

Designed for consistent accuracy, the vice offers 0.01 mm precision in positioning, which supports close-tolerance machining and lowers downstream finishing work. The unit’s overall robust construction and measured weight make it suitable for fixed mounting on machine tables, ensuring a durable fixture for frequent use. As part of a trusted supply chain, this vice complements a well-organised workshop environment where predictable performance and traceable specifications contribute to efficient production planning.
