Worn Keys

A common problem in cutting sidewinder (laser) keys and dimple keys. With such keys it is necessary to correct discrepancies with absolute precision.

Quattrocode does this by decoding the key, comparing the resulting measurements with these contained in a file relating to the original key and making any necessary adjustments so that a key which is identical to the original can be made.

Machine Calibration

Calibrating the Quattrocode is an automatic process, so for the first time absolute precision can be guaranteed eliminating variations caused by the operator’s handling of the machine.

With Quattrocode the cutting process no longer depends on time-consuming manual calibration of the machine, which also requires a certain amount of skill. Incorrect settings may lead to imperfections in the finished item.

The evolution of security cylinders increasingly requires key-cutting by code.

Quattrocode and Silca Quattrocode Program together constitute the first automated key-cutting system which can refer back to cutting parameters for the cylinder stored in the program, whichever cutting method is selected from those available on Quattrocode.

Data may be added to the Silca Quattrocode Program file so that a personal database is formed for all the operations carried out by the user.

Cutting Methods

Cutting can be carried out:

1) by decoding the key to be copied2) by entering the direct code for the key (cuts)3) by entering the indirect code for the key (for the series available).

A high quality peformance is ensured from Quattrocode and Silca Quattrocode Program with all the available cutting methods.
