VSR-6 Vertex simple dividing head — 160 mm capacity, three- or four-jaw chuck

A VSR-6 simple dividing head designed for accurate indexing and flexible workholding in small to medium workshop setups.

• 160 mm maximum diameter
• 1° indexing resolution
• Three- or four-jaw chuck option
• Compact 139 mm overall height

Repeatable indexing that speeds up production

The chief advantage of the dividing head lies in its 1° indexing, which enables consistent, repeatable rotations for serial drilling, milling and layout tasks. This precise step size reduces alignment checks and minimises human error, producing a measurable improvement in cycle times. By converting angular settings into reliable mechanical stops, the device supports efficient batch work where repeatability is essential, saving time on complex setups and adjustments.

Versatile chucking for different workpiece profiles

Equipped for three- or four-jaw chuck configurations, the unit adapts to both round and irregular blanks without the need for additional accessories. The three-jaw option secures cylindrical parts quickly, while the four-jaw alternative allows independent adjustment for off-centre or square components. This versatility means fewer tool changes and more flexible use across diverse tasks, supporting mixed production runs with minimal downtime.

Stable, compact footprint for busy benches

With a mass of 17.8 kg and an overall height of 139 mm, the device combines stability with a small footprint suited to limited bench space. The weight contributes to vibration damping during indexing and machining operations, improving surface finish and positional accuracy. The compact design keeps the setup close to the machine table, simplifying alignment and easing integration into existing workholding arrangements where space is a premium.

Practical integration for workshop workflows

Designed as a straightforward workholding and indexing solution, the head fits well into small workshops, toolrooms and prototyping environments that require dependable angular control without complex electronics. The simple mechanical design reduces maintenance demands and aids fast operator familiarisation. For applications requiring a compact, accurate dividing device with flexible chuck options, this head delivers consistent results with minimal overhead.
