Cutting By Electric Contact; Improper Use Of Electric Contact - Silca Unocode PRO Operating Manual

UNOCODE PRO Operating manual - English
4.2 C
UTTING BY ELECTRIC CONTACT
The UNOCODE PRO key-cutting machine is equipped with a low voltage electrical contact device which permits the
cutter to individualize the key blank as it approaches the cutter during the cutting phase (fig. 16).
Fig. 16
This technical solution permits the operator to secure the key to the more appropriate side of the 4 faced clamp (A, B, C
or D) therefore improving the grip on the key and eliminating the need of pins and/or adaptors.
With the electrical contact card enabled, depth calibration is automatically calculated when the cutter touches the keys
profile during the cutting process.
Electrical contact is guaranteed for keys in steel, brass, silver nickel, Zamak or iron (with or without nickel-plating).
F2
• Press F2 to enable or disable the electrical contact function to read the key blank measurements.
The symbol * in the clamp field means that the key will be cut reading the key
blank measurements by electrical contact.
A red "X" on the electrical contact icon means that it has been disabled.
Note: some cutting cards do not include electrical contact. In such cases the software does not allow
editing.
4.2.1

IMPROPER USE OF ELECTRIC CONTACT

It is not permitted to cut ultralite anodized aluminium keys, plastic keys or any keys with materials that
do not have electrical conductivity by means of electric contact.
ATTENTION: for these types of materials, insert standard cutting.
Cuts cannot be repeated on the same side of the key when electric contact cutting is used.
All data cards provided by Silca are in the machine's memory. The cards are enabled or disabled for code cutting by
electric contact at Silca's discretion.
