VUT-3QS tilting machine vice — Mechanical (Quick) clamping, cast iron body

The VUT-3QS is a tilting machine vice designed for precision clamping tasks on milling and drilling equipment, offering a robust cast iron body and a mechanical quick-action mechanism for fast, reliable set-up.

• Tilting design for flexible clamping
• Mechanical quick action for fast set-up
• Cast iron body for high stability
• Opening range 0–85 mm for varied workpieces

Faster set-up and dependable cycle times

The tilting geometry together with the mechanical quick action significantly reduces fixture time on repetitive operations, enabling shorter non-productive periods and a steadier production rhythm. With an effective jaw opening of 0–85 mm, the vice accommodates a broad span of workpieces without time-consuming changeovers. The proven quick mechanism delivers consistent clamping pressure with each cycle, supporting measurable efficiency gains and predictable throughput in small-batch and series production alike. This combination of speed and repeatability addresses both throughput and cost-efficiency concerns in modern workshops.

Robust construction for precision and stability

Built from cast iron, the vice provides inherent mass that absorbs vibrations and improves cutting stability, which in turn supports tighter tolerances and longer tool life. The elevated height of 412 mm and compact footprint of dimensions 268 x 240 x 185 mm create a low centre of gravity and a secure clamping posture on the machine table. Such structural qualities contribute directly to repeatability in positioning and consistent surface finish across multiple parts. Where rigidity is essential, the material choice and design reduce chatter and permit more aggressive machining strategies without sacrificing accuracy.

Easy integration, maintenance and supply assurance

The vice is supplied in a straightforward mechanical configuration that fits common machine tables and clamping fixtures, simplifying retrofits or upgrades. Routine maintenance is limited to lubrication and inspection of the moving parts, keeping lifecycle costs predictable. As an offering from Vertex, the product benefits from established production standards; paired with Metav Werkzeuge’s role as a European distribution and quality partner, procurement and replenishment are handled with a clear logistics and quality filter. This ensures reliable availability and a pragmatic route to sourcing precision clamping hardware for workshops and production lines.

FAQ

What range of workpiece sizes does the vice accept?
The vice accepts workpieces within an opening range of 0–85 mm, allowing clamping of narrow to moderate-width components without jaw change.

Is the vice suitable for heavy-duty milling?
Yes. The cast iron body and substantial height provide stability and vibration damping suitable for many milling operations where a rigid clamp is required.

How does the quick-action mechanism affect cycle time?
The mechanical quick action reduces set-up time by enabling faster jaw travel and repeatable clamping pressure, which lowers non-productive time between parts.

Can the vice be tilted while clamping to access angled features?
The tilting design allows the vice to be adjusted for angled clamping positions, aiding access to angled features and increasing setup flexibility on the machine table.

Who supplies the product and where can technical advice be obtained?
The vice is a Vertex product (SKU VUT-3QS). For specification queries and procurement, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical advice and supply coordination.
