VSR-10 Dividing head – 1° indexing, 165 mm centre height (Vertex)

The VSR-10 is a compact dividing head designed for precision indexing and fixture work on milling machines, supplied with either a three- or four-jaw chuck for versatile clamping and straightforward part rotation.

• 1° index graduation
• Three- or four-jaw chuck option
• Compact 165 mm centre height
• Solid 43.5 kg construction

Precision indexing that improves throughput

A workshop-ready dividing head with 1° graduation provides a simple, verifiable way to perform repetitive angular machining tasks with reduced setup time. The device converts manual or driven rotation into accurate, evenly spaced positions, making it suitable for tasks such as gear blank indexing, hole patterns and fixture alignment. The clear indexing indication and robust gearing translate directly into lower rework rates and higher first-pass yields, which supports a leaner production flow and predictable cycle times.

Robust build for reliable daily use

The machine-style construction and substantial mass of 43.5 kg give the unit stable behaviour during cutting, reducing vibration and improving surface finish compared with lighter fixtures. A robust body and precision bearings maintain alignment under load, which ensures repeatable results across long production runs. For workshops requiring dependable clamping, the three- and four-jaw chuck options permit secure holding of a wide range of part geometries without frequent re-adjustment, so cycle reliability and operator confidence increase.

Compact form for easy integration on the shop floor

With a 165 mm centre height, the dividing head fits common machine table envelopes while keeping the workpiece near standard cutter centres. The compact footprint aids fixture planning and allows the device to be used in constrained setups or alongside other workholding. The straightforward mechanical design reduces the need for specialised training: routine indexing and basic clamping are quickly learned, which shortens onboarding time for new operators and supports flexible deployment across different jobs.

Clear benefits for procurement and operations

Selecting a plain, mechanically driven dividing head emphasises serviceability and longevity: fewer electronics and modular components simplify maintenance and spare-part management. The dependable repeatability and simple adjustment mean lower total cost of ownership in environments that favour predictable performance over complex automation. For businesses consolidating suppliers, this solution matches a practical scope of applications while remaining compatible with standard tooling and chucks.
