The Laser Key machine is controlled entirely by use of a touch screen and the user is guided at every stage of the process by audio and video clips showing exactly what to do.   First the user takes the customer's key and removes any rings or plastic identifiers. The key is then placed onto a glass plate in the scanning chamber in a similar fashion to a photo-copier
Using unique patented imaging technology, the machine scans the customer's key with a laser to measure its precise dimensions. This information is compared to a database of keys to find the correct match and the required key blank is displayed on-screen as a simple three digit number.   The user takes this blank from a storage unit and places it into the cutting chamber as instructed by the video		Click here  to view video of a key being copied     Click here to view video of key being cut
After closing the cutting chamber door the computer takes over to precisely cut the new key. With 4-axes of movement and 12 different cutters the machine is able to cope with an enormous range of different key types and with the computer controlling both the identification and physical cutting processes, human error is almost entirely eliminated, thus producing a finished key that is extremely accurate.  As if that wasn’t impressive enough, any member of staff can be trained to use the machine in just 20 minutes.
