187mm BT-30x2 Mounting Aid Horizontal and Vertical, Base 238x305mm - Vertex

Efficient mounting for horizontal and vertical machine setups is delivered by the combination of a BT30 adapter interface, a stable 238 x 305 mm base and a compact 187 mm profile — a reliable choice for reducing setup time and improving repeatability; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the advisors for application-specific guidance.

VTD-9 Mounting aid — BT30 adapter, horizontal & vertical capability

The VTD-9 is a compact mounting aid designed for machine-tool fixtures and workholding, usable in both horizontal and vertical orientations with a BT30 adapter interface.

• Robust 238 x 305 mm base for stable clamping
• BT30 adapter interface for standard toolholders
• Suitable for horizontal and vertical mounting
• Compact 187 mm height saves shop floor space

Stability that supports repeatable setups

A solid foundation is central to accurate positioning. The mounting aid features a 238 x 305 mm base and a mass of 23 kg, which together reduce vibration and movement during clamping and machining. These characteristics translate into improved repeatability and less rework when aligning workpieces. For shops that measure throughput and scrap rates, the robust base supports predictable mounting behaviour and contributes to smoother production runs.

Built for flexible machine orientations

Flexibility in orientation cuts down on dedicated fixturing. With a BT30 interface and an adapter-holder design, the unit accommodates common BT30 toolholder standards, enabling use in both horizontal and vertical fixtures without costly bespoke adapters. This adaptability reduces machine downtime for retooling and enables faster changeovers between operations, offering a measurable efficiency gain for mixed-production environments.

Compact footprint that eases integration

The compact overall height of 187 mm and the modest footprint make the device straightforward to incorporate into existing benches or pallet stations. The low profile helps when toolpaths or clearances are tight, while the stable construction maintains mounting integrity. For businesses optimising workshop layouts, the compact form factor supports denser, more organised workstations without compromising on the robustness required for precise positioning.
