VQHJ-6 Machine vice (very high jaws) — 36 kN clamping force

The VQHJ-6 is a hydraulic and standard machine vice designed for secure clamping of tall workpieces in milling machines and machining centres.

• Very high jaws for tall workpieces
• 36 kN clamping force for secure holding
• 0–225 mm jaw opening for versatile gripping
• Cast iron body for vibration damping

Secure clamping for tall and heavy workpieces

The vice is engineered to deliver a high clamping capacity while maintaining precision. With a rated 36 kN clamping force and very high jaws, the device enables stable fixation of taller components that would otherwise require multiple setups. The cast iron construction contributes to vibration damping and dimensional stability, which improves surface finish and reduces rework. These characteristics make the vice suitable for demanding production tasks where consistent, repeatable positioning is essential.

Flexible operation for mixed production environments

Offering both hydraulic and standard operation modes, the clamping device adapts to different workflow requirements. The hydraulic option reduces operator effort and accelerates clamping cycles on automated lines, while the standard configuration provides a straightforward solution for manual setups and retrofit applications. The straightforward mechanical design simplifies integration into existing fixtures and enables reliable, long-term operation with minimal adjustment.

Robust design and straightforward integration on the shop floor

Weighing 85.8 kg and measuring 170 x 580.5 x 249 mm, the vice provides a stable base for machining without excessive footprint. The generous 0–225 mm jaw opening permits a broad range of part sizes, reducing the need for auxiliary fixtures. Built for endurance, the vice requires only routine inspection and lubrication to maintain performance, helping to keep machine uptime high and maintenance effort predictable. Combined with Metav’s quality filter and parts distribution from Emmerich, the clamping solution supports both single-machine shops and production lines.
