VQC-200LHC hydraulic machine vice with large 0–505 mm opening by Vertex

VQC-200LHC is a hydraulic machine vice designed for clamping large workpieces on milling and machining centres, providing high force and precise positioning for industrial production.

• Large 0–505 mm opening range
• 60 kN clamping force for secure fixation
• 0.01 mm repeatability for precise machining
• Robust cast iron body for vibration damping

Consistent precision for repeatable machining results

The vice delivers a 0.01 mm accuracy specification, which translates into reliable repeatability across batch production. Tight positional tolerance reduces the need for corrective passes and lowers scrap rates, so machining sequences stay predictable. The combination of precision and a stable construction ensures that dimensional deviations are minimised during milling and drilling operations, supporting higher throughput with consistent quality.

Secure clamping and support for larger components

With a jaw opening of 0–505 mm and a 60 kN clamping capacity, the device secures bulky or irregular parts without auxiliary fixtures. The hydraulic actuation provides uniform pressure distribution across the clamped surface, reducing part deformation when compared with point-loaded mechanical vices. This level of holding force enables safer high-feed and heavy-duty machining cycles while keeping the workpiece immobile relative to the cutter path.

Durable design that lowers total cost of ownership

Constructed from cast iron, the vice absorbs machining vibrations and preserves component stability during aggressive cuts. The substantial mass (approx. 108 kg) contributes to steadiness on the machine table, while the hydraulic system minimises operator exertion and speeds setup. These features combine to decrease fixture wear and maintenance frequency, supporting longer service intervals and predictable operating costs for production environments.

Simplified integration and practical handling

The vice is supplied as a hydraulic model suitable for fitting to standard machine fixtures and is compatible with common clamping workflows. Compact overall dimensions facilitate placement on machining centres without excessive footprint, and the straightforward hydraulic interface reduces installation complexity. Clear technical data and robust construction support integration into automated or manual cells where repeatable clamping quality is required.

FAQ

What level of repeatability can be expected from this vice?
The vice offers a repeatability of 0.01 mm, enabling tight tolerances across repeated clamping cycles with the VQC-200LHC hydraulic model.

Which materials are suitable for machining with this clamping system?
The hydraulic vice is designed for general machining applications and supports secure clamping for components made from steel, aluminium and cast parts when used in appropriate fixturing.

Is the vice suitable for large or irregular-shaped components?
Yes — the 0–505 mm jaw opening and high clamping force make it suitable for larger or awkwardly shaped workpieces that require stable fixation.

How does the cast iron construction benefit machining operations?
The cast iron body dampens vibration and increases mass stability, which improves surface finish and reduces chatter during heavy cutting operations.

What type of machines is the vice intended for?
The vice is intended for use on milling and machining centres where hydraulic clamping is required to maintain consistent pressure and repeatability.
