Key cutting apparatus 34 comprising a key measurement station 36 and a workstation 38 operable to hold a key blank to be cut as a copy of an original key measured by the measurement station 36. A cutting system 40 is provided operable to cut the key blank. The measurement station 36 comprises a light source 44 and a camera 46 to observe an illuminated original key. The apparatus further comprises a test object 64 which, when placed in the measurement station 36, allows the camera 46 to obtain calibration measurements relating to the light source 44. The test object 64 simultaneously provides a plurality of surfaces 66 at different respective positions, which surfaces 66 are at different respective distances from the camera 46, the illumination of each of the surfaces 66 being visible to the camera 46 during use.
摘要:
A system for identifying the key blank corresponding to a master key is provided. The system includes a first luminous surface and a second luminous surface. The second luminous surface is disposed opposite the first luminous surface such that the master key is disposable therebetween. The first and second luminous surfaces are operable to generate an image of the master key. A receiver is provided to capture the image of the master key. The system also includes a control having a memory that stores information on a plurality of key blanks. The control is operable to identify the key blank corresponding to the master key based on the image captured by the receiver.

摘要:
In a method and apparatus for duplicating an original key, the keyway and keycode of the original key are measured and duplicated in a preform. The preform used in the duplication process need not include any keyway or keycode prior to the duplication process and, therefore, a single type of preform may be used in generating duplicates of many different types of keys. The apparatus may be automated to take the measurements of the original key and to cut the duplicate key, thus reducing the possibility of producing a nonfunctional duplicate.
摘要:
A system for identifying and matching key blanks when duplicating an original key. A key holder (10) is provided which positions the key (1) horizontally along its longitudinal axis with the key's flat sides in a vertical plane. A lensing subsystem (30) lights and forms an image of the front profile of the key. A video camera (50) converts the light image into an electrical signal which is digitized and stored in computer memory. The computer (90) compares the key image with stored images of konwn key blanks and signals the locksmith by means of an output subsystem (110) the proper key blank to be used in duplicating the key.

A key duplicating machine comprising: a key load position to receive a key; an antenna configured to communicate with a key located at said key load position; and an imaging system configured to capture data related to said key at said key load position.
摘要:
A method to identify a key profile, characterised by: illuminating with two laminar beams emitted by two laser light sources (18) the two sides of the shank of a key (6) driven to move axially relative to said beams; reading with two video cameras (20), fixed relative to said sources (18) and having their optical axis inclined to the planes in which said light beams lie, the two light profiles formed by said laminar beams striking the two surfaces of the shank of said keys (6); digitizing the optical images read in this manner, to obtain two sequences of signals representative of the profiles of the two lateral surface portions of the key (6), as instantaneously illuminated by said laminar beams and read by said video cameras (20); reconstructing from said signals, by means of a processor unit (22), a signal representative of the entire key profile; and comparing the thus reconstructed signal withthe signal representative of profiles stored in said processor unit (22) to obtain data identifying the profile of said read key.
