Prism Jaw Insert VWS‑VQS‑5 – prism jaw for secure clamping of cylindrical workpieces (Vertex)

A Prism Jaw Insert VWS‑VQS‑5 engineered to centre and stabilise round stock for machining, inspection and finishing processes, offering a compact solution for workshop vice setups.

• Secure clamping for cylindrical parts
• Precision centring for repeatable setups
• Compact, lightweight design (0.51 kg)

Consistent grip and improved concentricity for round stock

The prismatic clamping geometry delivers a reliable grip on cylindrical workpieces, reducing slippage and enabling reproducible set-ups. By guiding the component into a defined vee profile, the insert promotes centring with minimal additional fixturing, which shortens set-up time and improves machining accuracy. For production environments where repeatability is critical, this approach reduces rework and enhances throughput without adding complex accessories.

Compact design that integrates into workshop workflows

With a mass of 0.51 kg, the insert remains easy to handle and store while being robust enough for regular use in a busy shop. The modest size supports quick exchange between jaws and keeps vice clearance low, which is useful when working on lathes, milling machines or inspection benches. The compact format also simplifies inventory management and permits efficient bench organisation, contributing to smoother workflow and faster changeovers.

Practical benefits for machining and metrology tasks

The prismatic jaw insert supports both manufacturing and inspection tasks by delivering repeatable clamping that preserves concentricity during machining and measurement. Reduced part distortion and improved contact consistency aid dimensional control and surface finish outcomes. Where measuring instruments are used after machining, the steady hold increases the reliability of measurement results, helping to lower scrap rates and uphold quality standards across serial production.
