VWS-VHO-5 Prismatic Jaw Insert by Vertex — prismatic profile, compact 0.7 kg unit

The VWS-VHO-5 is a prismatic jaw insert designed to secure cylindrical and round components in vices and inspection fixtures, providing stable contact points for machining and measurement tasks.

• Prismatic jaw insert for cylindrical components
• Precise locating geometry for reliable clamping
• Compact unit, weight 0.7 kg
• Designed for Vertex clamping systems

Secure clamping for cylindrical components

The prismatic geometry creates defined contact lines that centre round workpieces automatically, improving positional stability during clamping. By converting a circular section into three-point contact, the prismatic jaw reduces slip and vibration, which contributes to consistent precision during machining and inspection. This arrangement is particularly beneficial for repeat setups in production runs, where predictable part location shortens cycle times and lowers scrap rates.

Reduced setup time through accurate locating surfaces

A defined locating surface simplifies part placement and removes the need for extensive manual alignment. The precise locating geometry and rigid seating help to cut down on trial runs and adjustments, enabling faster throughput in toolrooms and inspection stations. Integration with standard vice jaws and fixtures is straightforward, offering measurable time savings on frequent changeovers while maintaining high quality standards.

Practical compatibility with workshop vices and fixtures

Compact and lightweight at 0.7 kg, the insert is suited to both bench-mounted vices and inspection fixtures where space and repeatability matter. The prismatic insert serves as a specialised clamping option for cylindrical components without requiring bespoke workholding solutions. For operations seeking to harmonise production and measuring workflows, this insert provides a focused improvement in clamping reliability and setup efficiency.

FAQ

What workpieces is this insert intended for?
The Vertex VWS-VHO-5 prismatic jaw insert is intended primarily for cylindrical and round components where defined line contact improves centring and clamping stability.

Is the insert compatible with standard vice jaws?
Compatibility depends on the vice interface; the VWS-VHO-5 is designed for integration with Vertex clamping systems and many common vice arrangements used in workshops and inspection labs.

How much does the insert weigh and how does that affect handling?
The insert weighs 0.7 kg, which makes it easy to manoeuvre during setup while retaining sufficient mass for stable clamping in typical bench and machine vice applications.

Can the prismatic jaw improve measurement repeatability?
Yes, the defined locating geometry of the prismatic jaw reduces part movement and positional variation, supporting more repeatable measurement and machining results with the Vertex prismatic insert.
