VQCV-160H-L Universal machine vice, left‑hand, 60 kN — Vertex

The VQCV-160H-L is a left‑hand, mechanical machine vice designed for heavy‑duty workholding in milling, grinding and general machining applications

• Left‑hand orientation for specialised setups
• 60 kN clamping force for heavy‑duty holding
• 0–235 mm jaw opening for wide workpieces
• Accuracy 0.01 mm for precision machining

Secure clamping for heavy machining

The VQCV‑160H‑L delivers a 60 kN clamping force via a force‑enhanced mechanical design, ensuring exceptionally stable workholding under high cutting loads. This heavy‑duty capacity reduces micro‑movement and chatter during aggressive milling or deep cuts, which directly improves surface finish and extends tool life. The vice’s reinforced mechanism converts operator input into reliable holding power without dependence on external hydraulics, offering a straightforward, low‑maintenance solution for demanding production environments.

Flexible jaw opening for diverse components

With a jaw opening range of 0–235 mm, the vice accommodates a broad spectrum of workpiece sizes, from compact components to larger fixtures. The left‑hand configuration allows rotated or asymmetrical setups where a standard orientation would interfere with tooling or fixtures. Combined with an accuracy of 0.01 mm, the bench‑stable clamping ensures repeatable positioning and consistent machining results, which simplifies setup procedures and reduces rework rates in small‑batch and series production.

Designed to integrate with workshop workflows

The unit’s footprint of 170 x 580.5 x 200 mm and a mass of 85 kg reflect a balance between rigidity and machine‑table compatibility. As a mechanical vice, it requires no hydraulic connection and is suited for conventional machine tables where a robust, self‑contained clamping solution is preferred. The solid construction minimises deformation under load and supports stable reference points for jigs and fixtures, making the vice a practical choice for both retrofit and new installations in busy machine shops.

Precision that improves productivity

High repeatability and stability translate into measurable productivity gains: fewer scrapped parts, shorter inspection cycles and reduced fixture adjustments. The VQCV‑160H‑L’s precise clamping behaviour supports consistent tolerances during serial machining and helps maintain throughput without sacrificing quality. For operations prioritising dependable, mechanical performance and minimal service complexity, this vice offers a durable, efficient workholding platform that pays back through reduced downtime and improved first‑pass yield.
