Prism jaw attachment VWS-VK-8 — Vertex precision prism profile, 1.16 kg

A Prism jaw attachment for secure clamping of cylindrical and round stock in workshop and production environments, designed for reliable positioning and repeatable results

• Precision prism profile for round stock
• Solid construction, workshop-ready
• Lightweight at 1.16 kg for easy handling

Consistent, precise clamping for round workpieces

The VWS-VK-8 prism jaw attachment delivers a consistent prism contact surface that centres and supports cylindrical parts during clamping. The geometry reduces lateral movement and improves concentricity, which is particularly beneficial for turning, grinding and inspection set-ups. Owing to its defined contact angle, the component minimises distortion of sensitive parts while ensuring repeatable positioning between operations. This leads to measurable gains in process reliability and fewer reworks, supporting higher first-pass yields.

Engineered for everyday workshop use and handling efficiency

Constructed with workshop demands in mind, the assembly balances robustness with a low mass of 1.16 kg, reducing operator fatigue during fixture changes and speeding manual set-up. The reduced weight also simplifies handling when swapping jaws or configuring chucks, shortening changeover times. Designed to integrate with standard clamping systems, the jaw offers uncomplicated mounting and durable performance under routine load cycles, which enhances overall equipment availability and supports a steady production rhythm.

Clear benefits for process planners and quality control

The prism attachment supports improved measurement and machining outcomes by providing stable, repeatable support for cylindrical components. For quality control, the defined contact reduces variability in run-out readings and helps maintain alignment through several machining steps. When paired with systematic set-up routines, the jaw contributes to leaner workflows and predictable tolerances, delivering a pragmatic cost-benefit through lower scrap rates and reduced inspection time. Metav’s role as a precision partner ensures each component is supplied through a quality-filtered distribution network in Emmerich, helping to simplify procurement for workshops and industrial users.
