nication between the software and the machine is via Bluetooth.
This said, switch the tablet on and then activate the software. After having activated the program, a blue light will
show on the display. (Fig. 10) The machine is now prepared to operate.
2.3 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The MULTICODE machine has been designed to cut flat, points/channel type keys. During the design phase, the mi-
nimal details have been analysed to manufacture a compact machine, easy to use and that is very precise. This is a
Mecatronics machine, with three stepper motors for displacement of the carriages.
In other words, we are before a very versatile machine that can be used for both flat, pointed or channel keys.

3.- JAWS
The machine consists of two jaws, one for machining flat keys and another for point and/or channel keys. The use of
the two jaws for correct operation is detailed below.
3.1 JAW FOR FLAT KEYS
3.1.1 USE OF THE STANDARD JAW “MP1”
The standard jaw “MP1” is designed for reading and machining flat keys. When attaching the key, consider two as-
pects: Side and key limit.
• Sides 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the standard jaw “MP1”.
The different sides and characteristics of the key to be attached are indicated below:
a) Copying a key with rear support.
Side 1: keys with normal blade
Side 2: keys with narrow blade
b) Copying of keys by means attaching the key by its profile
Side 3: Key with guide in lower part
Side 4: Key with guide in upper part
Representation of standard jaw with images of different attaching (Fig. 13)
The standard jaw has 4 sides, (numbers engraved on the top part of the jaw) that
allow closing the attached keys on the rear and profile. The jaw is designed to hold
different models of keys. The side change is simple, leave the jaw slightly open, and
manually turn the key to the desired side.

14
• Key limit.
After having chosen a side of the jaw, then you have to position the key lengthwise, to do that you have to take
into account the limit of the key. Depending on the model of the key, there are two types of limit:
1. Neck limit (C): This is the most common. The key is limited by means of a mechanical limit of the jaw. (Fig. 14)
2. Point limit (1, 2, and 3): The key is limited by means of the pint limit supplied in the accessory box and this is
placed together with the key in the standard jaw slot.
Example of key positions in side 1 and limit 2 (Fig. 15)

All the necessary information about attaching the key from the JMAKeyPro software in the tablet will appear when
the key code is introduced.
FIG. 16
FIG. 17
3.2 JAW FOR POINTS AND CHANNEL KEYS
According to the key to be machined or coded, follow the indications that appear in the JMAKeyPro software in the
tablet. The main indications refer to the following:
3.2.1 THE JAW
It indicates which model of jaw you should use.
Both point and channel keys can be introduced into the jaw. In the case that the jaw has to be removed, follow
these steps:
1) Raise the transparent guard.
2) Loosen screw (T2) and remove the jaw by moving it toward the operator.
3) Introduce the jaw (previously cleaning the housing) into the dovetail and raise it to the top.
4) Lock the jaw by turning screw (T2).
Side 1: Limits 1, 2, 3.
Side 2: Limits 1, 2.
Side 3: Limits 1, 2.
Side 4: Limits 1, 2.

3.2.2 TYPE OF LIMIT
Both point and channel keys can be introduced into the jaw, with neck limit or with point reference. The first (with C
limit) have to be supported against the clamps while the others (point limit) have to be supported with reference in
one of the channels (1-2-3), as indicated in the JMAKeyPro software. For this operation use the point limit that is in
the accessory box, after having positioned the key, remove it.
• Neck limit
• Point limit (1-2-3)

3.2.3 CLAMP MODEL
The jaw has two standard clamps, a fixed one (A) and a mobile one (B). One of the important characteristics of the
clamps is that they have two sides to attach different models of keys. Both the fixed clamp and the mobile one, have
two sides, 1 and 2.
The following steps are to change the clamp or the side of the clamp:
1) Unscrew the knob (T3) to the end
2) Push the clamp(s) with your fingers from its rear part removing it towards the operator. (Fig. 20)
