VSM-16 milling vice — mechanical clamping with 1000 kgf force and 0–415 mm opening (Vertex)

The VSM-16 is a mechanical milling vice designed for secure workholding in milling operations and general workshop clamping, offering a wide jaw opening and a heavy, cast iron construction for lasting stability

• 1000 kgf clamping force
• 0–415 mm jaw opening
• Cast iron body for vibration damping

Stable clamping that improves machining results

The vice combines a high clamping force with a heavy cast iron construction to reduce movement under cutting loads, which leads to more consistent surface finishes and fewer rework cycles. The specified 0–415 mm jaw travel accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, while the robust frame and mass of 142 kg absorb cutting vibrations that can otherwise degrade accuracy. In practical terms, the result is repeatable positioning and reduced tool wear, making the device suitable for repeated production tasks where stability and dependable hold are priorities.

Designed for straightforward set-up and versatile use

A mechanically driven screw system provides reliable, low-maintenance operation and simple integration into existing setups. The vice’s mechanical design means adjustments do not require electrical connections or pneumatics, reducing failure modes and keeping routine servicing straightforward. The broad jaw range allows quick changeover between small fixtures and larger components, supporting both prototype work and batch production. The clear, measurable accuracy rating supports process planning and helps in defining inspection tolerances.

Rugged construction for long service life in workshops

Constructed from cast iron, the vice resists deformation under load and sustains its geometry over long operating periods, lowering lifetime costs through reduced adjustment and replacement frequency. The vice’s footprint and dimensions (405 x 763 x 241 mm) give a stable mounting base for heavy milling operations, while the machine‑grade build quality supports consistent clamping over thousands of cycles. Regular cleaning and lubrication of the screw and guideways preserves performance; the simple mechanical layout makes these tasks quick to perform.
