VWS Prism Jaw Attachment – Precision prismatic clamping, 0.4 kg (Vertex)

VWS is a prism jaw attachment designed to provide prismatic support for cylindrical workpieces in workshop and machine-tool clamping setups, helping to stabilise round parts during machining and inspection.

• Secure prism support for round workpieces
• Compact, lightweight design 0.4 kg
• Precision machining for repeatable clamping
• Series VWS for straightforward integration

Consistent support for cylindrical parts reduces rework

The VWS prism jaw attachment delivers secure clamping through a prismatic contact profile that stabilises round and tubular workpieces. By aligning the workpiece on defined prism surfaces, machining and measuring operations gain improved concentricity and reduced radial play. This leads to fewer setup iterations and less rework, which supports higher process reliability. The design prioritises precision contact over broad surface pressure, so fixtures maintain part geometry during cutting or inspection sequences.

Minimal added mass maintains machine dynamics

With a total mass of 0.4 kg, the prism-mounted jaw keeps added inertia low, preserving spindle and axis dynamics during rapid cycles. The compact construction facilitates quick handling and faster jaw changes in high-mix production environments while maintaining repeatable clamping points. A lower mass clamping insert reduces the risk of overloading smaller workholding systems and helps to sustain cycle times without compromising positional stability or repeatability.

Practical gains for workshop throughput and quality assurance

In everyday workshop use the prismatic insert supports faster set-up and consistent results across batches, making it a practical choice for small-series turning, milling and inspection tasks that involve round components. The robust prismatic seating reduces operator adjustments and contributes to predictable downstream processes. Sourcing through an experienced partner ensures parts meet expected standards of fit and finish; Metav Werkzeuge acts as a quality filter for the European market, combining product availability with technical guidance to support operational continuity.
