VQC-200L Machine Vice — large opening, 60 kN clamping force by Vertex

The VQC-200L is a mechanical machine vice designed for versatile workholding in metalworking and general machining applications, offering a wide opening and robust clamping capacity for secure processing of larger components.

• Robust 60 kN clamping force for secure holding
• Large 0–405 mm opening for oversized workpieces
• Heavy-duty cast-iron construction for vibration damping

Secure clamping for demanding machining tasks

The core advantage of this clamping solution is its high clamping force (60 kN) combined with a wide 0–405 mm jaw opening, which allows secure fixation of larger or irregular workpieces. High clamping force reduces part movement under cutting forces, which in turn stabilises tool engagement and helps maintain surface quality. For setup planning, the vice’s substantial mass contributes to stand stability and reduces table-induced vibration during milling or drilling operations.

Durable build for predictable workshop performance

Constructed from cast iron, the vice provides inherent damping properties that help absorb machining vibrations and extend tool life. The mechanical actuation ensures straightforward integration into conventional milling and machining centres without additional hydraulic systems, while an overall weight of 99.5 kg gives a solid foundation for precision work. This combination of material and mass supports repeatable clamping reliability and a long service life, reducing maintenance-related downtime.

Clear technical indicators for process optimisation

Key numerical values such as accuracy 0.01 mm and the vice’s compact footprint (217 x 711 x 180 mm) enable straightforward planning for fixture design and NC programme strategies. Accuracy figures indicate the manufacturing tolerance that can be expected from the clamping geometry; paired with the vice’s rigidity, they support tighter machining tolerances and consistent part interchangeability. The machine vice is thus suitable for applications where dimensional repeatability and secure hold-down are priorities.
