Soft Jaws VQC-200L-FJ — Soft replaceable jaws for VQC vises, precision fit (Vertex)

A set of Soft Jaws VQC-200L-FJ created to protect sensitive components while providing accurate clamping on VQC-series vises in workshop and light production environments

• Protects delicate workpieces during clamping
• Precision fit to VQC-series vises
• Durable, replaceable soft contact surfaces

Improved clamping accuracy and workpiece protection

Soft clamping faces reduce marring and distribute pressure over a larger area, which helps to preserve surface finish on fragile parts. The soft jaws act as a sacrificial contact layer that is easily renewed when worn, extending the service life of the primary vice jaws. By combining a compliant contact surface with a precision fit to the vice, the solution lowers rework rates and supports stable part presentation for subsequent machining or measurement operations. This reduces downtime associated with part rejection and contributes to a more predictable production flow.

Faster changeover and consistent repeatability

Designed for quick replacement, the soft contact inserts minimise setup time between jobs while maintaining repeatable clamping locations. The combination of a tailored geometry and a secure mounting interface ensures consistent seating on the vice, which preserves datum alignment across repeated cycles. This repeatability is particularly valuable for small-batch runs and inspection tasks where positional accuracy and minimal handling are required. Reduced handling and faster changeovers translate into measurable efficiency gains on the shop floor.

Workshop-friendly design and compatibility

The component is sized for common workshop applications and integrates directly with the VQC family of vises. With compact external dimensions 200 x 122 x 75 mm and a mass of 3.61 kg, the item balances rigidity with manageable weight for handling and storage. Material and coating details are determined by the production batch; the overall design principle centres on protection, easy replacement and compatibility with existing clamping systems. For processes that require careful surface preservation or soft-fixturing solutions, these jaws provide a straightforward and reliable option.
