VUT-4NC Hydraulic tilting machine vice by Vertex — Hydraulic (Power) clamping, tilting head

VUT-4NC is a hydraulic machine vice designed for secure workholding in milling and general machining, offering a tilting function and a broad jaw opening for versatile clamping across many workpieces.

• Hydraulic clamping for repeatable force
• Tilting head for versatile machining angles
• Opening range 0–205 mm for varied workpieces
• Cast-iron body for vibration damping and durability

Consistent throughput thanks to hydraulic clamping

The hydraulic operation provides a uniform clamping force that reduces the variability of manual tightening and the risk of part movement during machining. With this method, cycle times are more predictable and set-up is simplified, which supports lean production flows and reduces rework. The vice is particularly useful where repeatability matters: the hydraulic mechanism maintains pressure across successive operations, improving component yield and safeguarding cutter life through steady workholding.

Longer service life from robust construction

Constructed from cast iron, the vice absorbs machining vibrations and resists deformation under load, which extends service intervals and preserves alignment. The substantial body and well-engineered sliding surfaces translate into lower maintenance effort compared with lighter designs, and the material choice contributes to dimensional stability across shifts. For workshops aiming to minimise downtime, the heavy-duty build offers a reliable basis for daily production demands and consistent clamping accuracy.

Greater flexibility with a tilting function

The integrated tilting mechanism allows angled clamping without the need for additional fixturing, enabling chamfering, bevel machining and angled drilling in a single set-up. This flexibility reduces part handling and set-up time while increasing machining scope from one vice. The tilting function therefore supports more efficient batch processing and opens possibilities for complex geometries without substantial investment in secondary fixtures.

Space-efficient design with a wide jaw opening

Despite a compact footprint of 285 x 390 x 264 mm, the vice offers an opening of 0–205 mm, accommodating a range of component sizes while saving bench space. The overall height of 502 mm is engineered for stable clamping at conventional machine-bed heights. This balance of small external dimensions and a broad clamping range makes the vice well suited to busy workshops where floor space and fixture versatility are decisive factors.
