VWS-VHO-6 Prism jaw (Prismenaufsatzbacke) by Vertex — prism profile, VWS system

The VWS-VHO-6 prism jaw is a compact clamping accessory designed to support and locate cylindrical workpieces in modular jaw systems for workshop and light industrial use.

• Prism profile for cylindrical workpieces
• Compatible with VWS jaw system
• Lightweight workshop-ready at 1 kg

Stable support reduces setup time and rejects

The prism profile precisely locates cylindrical workpieces, converting an imprecise round contact into a defined support line so that centreline repeatability is improved and repositioning is faster. This reduces the need for secondary alignment operations, which in turn cuts non-productive time. The accessory is suited to situations where consistent workpiece support is required for turning, grinding or inspection fixtures and delivers measurable gains in cycle reliability.

Seamless integration with modular clamping systems

Designed for the VWS system, the jaw mates with existing modular fixtures to provide immediate functionality without bespoke adapters. Compatibility with the VWS family simplifies inventory and reduces changeover complexity, enabling shops to standardise clamping across multiple machines. The Vertex origin underlines component quality, while the pragmatic design supports efficient workflows and predictable repeatability for batch processing.

Practical design for everyday workshop use

At around 1 kg, the component is both lightweight and robust enough for routine handling; this balance aids quick mounting and safe storage when not in use. The prism geometry is straightforward to understand for operators with limited metrology experience: the vee-shaped contact creates a natural seat for round bars, preventing lateral movement without clamping force escalation. Minimal maintenance and straightforward cleaning keep the accessory ready for continuous operation.
