VUT-5NC machine vice — hydraulic, tiltable (Vertex)

VUT-5NC is a sturdy machine vice designed for precise clamping in milling and machining centres, offering hydraulic power and a tiltable body for versatile setups

• Hydraulic clamping for high holding force
• Tiltable design for versatile machining
• Cast iron body for dimensional stability

Increased productivity through reliable hydraulic clamping

The hydraulic clamping system provides a consistent, high clamping force that reduces setup time and improves repeatability in batch production. Hydraulic actuation streamlines fixture changes compared with manual screw vices, enabling faster cycle times and fewer operator interventions. The direct benefit is a steadier workpiece under cutting loads, which helps maintain tolerance bands and lowers scrap rates. Where process stability is a priority, the hydraulic vice supports automated workflows and reduces the need for frequent retightening during long machining cycles.

Flexible positioning for complex part geometries

A tiltable body enables angled clamping without additional fixtures, opening up machining options for multi‑face operations. Tilting the vice saves secondary operations and reduces handling between stations, which shortens overall throughput times. For jobs requiring inclined faces or compound angles, the tiltable vice removes intermediate setups and provides consistent reference planes for re‑positioning. This flexibility is particularly useful in toolrooms and production environments where one‑off and small batch parts demand quick adaptation of clamping strategies.

Durable construction for sustained accuracy

Built from cast iron, the vice offers mass and damping that minimise vibration and thermal distortion during machining. The solid base and robust jaws preserve alignment under load, contributing to long‑term accuracy and less frequent recalibration. The material choice also supports reliability in daily shop use: predictable wear characteristics make service intervals easier to plan, and the stable structure keeps the clamping surfaces true over extended production runs.

Practical integration and low‑effort maintenance

Designed for straightforward mounting to machine tables, the vice integrates with standard fixturing patterns and leaves room for downstream tooling. The availability in Power (hydraulic) and Quick variants allows selection according to production needs — maximum holding capacity or faster manual operation. Routine maintenance focuses on hydraulic checks and jaw face care; planned inspection reduces downtime and preserves performance. Supplied by a recognised OEM, the unit is suitable for workshops and small series manufacturers seeking robust, serviceable clamping solutions.
