Abstract: A key duplicating machine includes: a support structure, a front operational area which is accessible by the operator and which is removably covered and separated, at least partially, from the external environment by a covering and/or protection crankcase movable with respect to said structure of support. At least one key cutter and/or another cutting element, and at least one terminal (12) for locking a key, are housed in the front operational area, a rear containment area, covered and separated from the external environment by a casing mechanically fixed to the support structure, and a control and command unit having a mechanism for moving said crankcase for covering and/or protecting the front operational area, the crankcase being configured to be mounted on a fixed structure of the duplicating machine so as to be able to be moved with respect to the fixed structure.

Abstract: A clamp for key cutting machine includes:



a lower jaw placeable on a support of a key cutting machine, having a first central hole for crossing a pin fixed to said support and allowing rotation of the lower jaw around the pin, the lower jaw having a first lower external face;
an upper jaw placed above the lower jaw and having a second central hole, aligned with the first central hole, for allowing the rotation of the upper jaw around said pin, the upper jaw having a first upper external face;
a lower insert and an upper insert,
the lower jaw having a lower seat on the first lower external face and houses the lower insert,
the upper jaw is equipped with an upper seat on the upper external face and houses the upper insert configured to cooperate with the lower insert to clamp a key.

Abstract: A key-cutting machine includes: a support structure; a front operational area which is accessible by an operator; at least one milling and/or cutting unit which is positioned in the front operational area and which includes at least one end mill, and/or another cutting member, to carry out a bitting processing of a key. The key-cutting machine also includes at least one clamp, which is positioned in the front operational area, to hold the key to be machined, so that a face of the key to be engraved is arranged substantially horizontally. The key-cutting machine also includes a device for engraving at least one face of the head of said key, said device being positioned inside the front operational area of said duplicating machine; and at least one pair of engraving tools mounted on a support unit. Each engraving tool includes cutting sections for engraving a corresponding face of a key.
