Prismatic Jaw Attachment VWS-VQS-4 by Vertex — prismatic V-profile, precision-machined

The Prismatic Jaw Attachment VWS-VQS-4 is a prismatic V-profile clamping jaw designed for precision workholding in machining and inspection setups, providing stable support for cylindrical and round components.

• Prismatic V-profile for secure clamping
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.42 kg
• Compatible with standard vice jaws
• Precision-machined for repeatable positioning

Secure, vibration-resistant clamping for round parts

The prismatic design delivers a defined seating surface that centres rods and shafts reliably, reducing the need for secondary fixtures. Machined tolerances and a prismatic V-profile ensure consistent contact lines across the clamping surface, which improves repeatability and reduces set-up time in series operations. Where stability under cutting forces is required, the geometry of the jaw minimises lateral movement and supports efficient material removal with controlled vibration.

Small footprint, easy integration into workholding systems

With a compact, lightweight construction weighing 0.42 kg, the attachment is simple to handle and position, enabling fast changeovers in busy shop environments. The modest mass reduces inertia when reorienting setups or exchanging jaws, while the robust machining offers a balance between portability and durability. This combination supports workflow efficiency in both maintenance benches and production cells, particularly where space optimisation matters.

Precision machining that supports quality assurance

Manufactured to consistent standards, the component supports repeatable inspection and machining processes by providing a stable datum for components. The accessory is particularly useful where concentricity and axial alignment are critical; the prismatic contact translates directly into measurable improvements in part acceptance rates. As a Vertex component, the unit benefits from established manufacturing procedures that prioritise dimensional accuracy and surface finish, supporting traceable quality in production.
