Machine Vice VQC-160M — Mechanical clamping vice with large opening, 60 kN clamping force (Vertex)
The Machine Vice VQC-160M is a mechanical clamping vice designed for heavy-duty machining and flexible workholding where a wide jaw opening and stable clamping are essential.
- Robust cast iron body for high stability
- Wide 0–305 mm opening for large workpieces
- High clamping force of 60 kN for secure fixation
- Precision accuracy of 0.01 mm for repeatable results
Secure heavy machining with stable clamping
The vice's cast iron body delivers mass and vibration damping, enabling stable cutting conditions even under elevated loads. With a rated clamping force of 60 kN, the unit provides the secure grip required for milling, drilling and repetitive machining operations, reducing part movement and rework. The mechanical design focuses on reliability and straightforward maintenance, so production stays productive while setup time is kept low. Robust construction ensures long-term dimensional stability on the workbench.
Adaptable workholding for oversized components
A defining advantage of this vice is the 0–305 mm jaw opening, which accepts larger or irregularly shaped components without makeshift fixtures. The availability of a hydraulic option provides an alternative for processes that benefit from faster, more consistent clamping cycles. When manual actuation is preferred, the mechanical variant offers uncomplicated control; where cycle times and repeatability are critical, the hydraulic version reduces operator intervention and increases throughput.
Precision that supports accurate machining
Engineered with an accuracy of 0.01 mm, the vice supports high-repeatability setups and accurate clamping references. This level of precision is particularly valuable for batch production and toolroom tasks where consistent datum referencing reduces downstream alignment work. The vice’s geometry and slide guidance are designed to maintain position under load, contributing to reliable tolerances and fewer re-machining cycles.
Stable footprint and installation-ready design
At approximately 67 kg, the vice provides a low centre of gravity that contributes to machine stability and reduced vibration during cutting. Compact external dimensions (170 x 584 x 165 mm) allow the unit to be mounted on a wide range of machine tables while offering ample jaw travel. The mechanical construction keeps maintenance straightforward; routine checks and lubrication preserve performance and extend service life. Engineered for workshop use, the design supports both intermittent and continuous production demands.
