Secure and precise workholding for metalworking productivity
Workholding devices such as workpiece clamps and chuck systems provide absolute positional stability and vibration damping during milling, turning, drilling and grinding, ensuring parts remain free of play under high CNC cutting and feed forces. By transferring clamping loads into the machine table or spindle without deforming the component, a well engineered workholding solution improves machining accuracy, surface finish and process reliability while reducing set-up times. Modular systems from machine vices and chucks to zero-point systems and specialised fixtures enable fast changeovers and support both serial and single-part production, delivering consistent clamping force, repeatability and enhanced throughput.

Centralised actuation reduces lateral play and equalises force across the jaw faces, which in turn limits part movement during machining operations. This results in more consistent part-to-part accuracy and fewer adjustments at the machine, supporting higher throughput and predictable cycle times. Gentle, secure holding for sensitive components Equipped with smooth jaws, the accessory is optimised for applications where surface integrity matters. The contact faces distribute clamping pressure without marked impressions, making the configuration suitable for soft or finished surfaces where conventional serrated jaws would cause damage. In practice, operators gain reliable workholding without the need for additional protective fixtures, reducing set‑up complexity while preserving component quality. Compact design that integrates into existing setups With compact dimensions and a mass of 2.97 kg, the accessory fits readily into VNC-FV installations and is manageable during handling and maintenance. The small footprint supports flexible machine layouts and makes retrofitting straightforward. Supplied by Vertex and stocked through Metav Werkzeuge, the unit benefits from a European quality filter and local logistics, ensuring dependable availability and informed advice for integration into industrial workflows.

159.5x102x60mm Soft Jaws for VQC Vices - Vertex
Benefit from precise, non‑marring workholding and a compact, low‑profile form factor that improves setup times and protects sensitive components; order the VQC-160FJ Soft Jaws directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. VQC-160FJ Soft Jaws for VQC vises — Low‑profile, non‑marring design (Vertex) The VQC-160FJ Soft Jaws are soft-faced jaws designed to provide secure, damage‑free clamping of delicate workpieces in VQC-series machine vises for milling and light machining operations. Compatible with VQC vises Low-profile form factor for close workpiece access Protects delicate and finished surfaces Compact dimensions for efficient machine use Secure, non‑marring clamping for delicate components The primary benefit of these soft jaws is the ability to hold sensitive or finished parts without surface damage. Manufactured for use with VQC vises, the jaws present a softer contact face that distributes clamping pressure and reduces point loading, so delicate alloys and finished surfaces are preserved during machining. The softer contact material is engineered to provide repeatable grip while preventing dents or scratches that would otherwise require rework or scrap, supporting production quality and reducing waste. Consistent alignment for improved machining repeatability These jaws are dimensioned and machined to ensure consistent alignment, which aids in maintaining concentricity and positional accuracy across repeated setups. When fitted to the vise, the jaws index precisely, allowing fixtures and workholding aids to be used with predictable results. This predictability translates into fewer adjustments at the machine, shorter cycle preparation times and a measurable increase in throughput, particularly for series production and precision finishing tasks. Space‑saving profile that enhances tool access With compact outer dimensions of 159.5 × 102 × 60 mm, the design optimises the usable work envelope on the machine table and improves cutter access to complex geometries. The compact footprint is beneficial where spindle clearance is restricted or where multiple components must be fixtured within a tight envelope. Reduced bulk at the clamping face often means simpler toolpaths and less risk of cutter collisions, which supports safer, more reliable machining cycles. Robust handling and straightforward fitment Weighing 7.2 kg, the set is substantial enough to remain stable under typical clamping loads while still being manageable for workshop handling and maintenance. Produced under the Vertex range, the jaws match the interface and mounting pattern of VQC-series vises for straightforward installation and interchangeability. The construction is focused on functional durability and consistent performance, so the workholding remains dependable over repeated cycles and routine workshop use.
