VQC-2002LC machine vice by Vertex — large 0–505 mm opening, 60 kN clamping force

The VQC-2002LC machine vice is a robust workholding solution designed for machining centres and production benches, offering a large opening and high clamping force for reliable fixation of diverse workpieces

• Large 0–505 mm opening
• 60 kN clamping force
• Cast iron construction
• 0.01 mm positional accuracy

High-force clamping for reliable machining

The vice’s principal advantage is its 60 kN clamping capacity combined with a 0–505 mm jaw opening, which enables secure fixation of large or irregular components. High clamping force reduces micro‑movement under load and supports consistent machining passes, improving tool life and surface finish. With a specified positional accuracy of 0.01 mm, the unit gives operators a measurable basis for repeatability in serial production; this level of precision helps maintain tolerances without constant rework. The design focuses on dependable, measurable performance to support efficient process planning and minimise scrap rates.

Robust cast-iron core for lasting stability

Constructed from cast iron, the vice benefits from inherent damping and rigidity, characteristics that help to absorb cutting forces and reduce vibration during milling and drilling operations. The substantial mass — approximately 108 kg — further anchors the vice, allowing stable cuts even under interrupted machining. These material and mass properties translate into predictable behaviour under load, meaning setups remain valid over longer runs and final inspection results are more consistent. The result is lower maintenance frequency and better output quality across batches.

Mechanical actuation with optional hydraulic flexibility

Supplied as a mechanical unit with the option for hydraulic actuation, the vice adapts to different workflow requirements. Mechanical operation provides a straightforward, low‑maintenance solution for conventional machining centres, while the hydraulic option offers faster clamping cycles and simplified fixture changes where automation or frequent repeats are required. This flexibility allows workshops to match the vice to existing fixturing strategies and cycle requirements without compromising on core clamping performance.

Designed for precision shops and production lines

Intended for both precision toolrooms and industrial production, the vice integrates into standard machining setups and supports a range of turning, milling and drilling operations where stable, repeatable workholding is essential. The clear technical specification and durable construction make it suitable for environments that prioritise uptime and consistent part quality. By focusing on measurable benefits—repeatable accuracy, structural stability, and configurable actuation—the unit addresses the primary economic drivers of modern workshops: fewer interruptions, predictable outputs and efficient throughput.
