VQS-3 Bench vice with quick-adjust mechanism (Vertex)

The VQS-3 is a mechanical bench vice designed for rapid clamping and general workshop use, featuring a fast-adjust function for efficient set-up and a wide jaw opening for versatile applications

• Quick-adjust mechanism for fast set-up
• 700 kgf clamping force for secure grip
• 0–85 mm jaw opening for versatile clamping
• Compact 7 kg mass for firm bench mounting

Faster set-up saves production time

The quick-adjust mechanism shortens changeover and reduces idle time by allowing the jaws to be positioned rapidly before final tightening. For serial tasks or mixed small-batch work, this functionality means fewer interruptions and higher throughput. Combined with the 700 kgf nominal clamping capacity, operators gain both speed and secure holding, which supports faster machining cycles and fewer reclamping steps. The result is a measurable improvement in operational efficiency without complex adjustments.

Secure grip for varied components

A wide 0–85 mm jaw opening covers a broad range of workpiece sizes while the high clamping force ensures parts remain immobilised during cutting, filing or assembly. The vice’s design emphasises consistent pressure distribution to reduce marring and maintain part geometry. This dependable gripping performance minimises rework and improves process stability, which is particularly relevant for production environments where consistency is essential.

Precision where it matters

The vice provides an accuracy of 0.01, offering repeatable positioning for setups that require tight tolerances. For users with limited metrology equipment, this level of repeatability helps to maintain alignment between operations and supports downstream quality control. Technical terms explained: the stated accuracy refers to the vice’s ability to return to the same clamped position repeatedly, thereby reducing variability between identical operations.

Practical build for everyday workshop use

Weighing 7 kg and with compact external dimensions, the unit balances portability with bench stability. The mechanical drive avoids electronic complexity, lowering maintenance needs and simplifying integration into established workflows. The robust yet compact construction makes it suitable for metalworking benches and general workshop stations where space is at a premium but reliable clamping is required.
