HPC 123SHARK Code Machine Blue Shark Key Cuttter

HPC's new Blue SHARK™ is a Revolution in Key Cutting! HPC's Blue SHARK™ is the world's 1st computerized Touch Screen Key Machine! The machine comes fully loaded with an updateable internal database of HPC's code library including Vehicle, Padlock, & Lockshop codes. Plus, it has the ability to add Custom DSDs (Depth & Spacing Data) to this already extensive database. Updates are accomplished via a multi-media card that plugs into a port in the back of the Blue SHARK™. This means that there is no reason to open up the machine or to hook-up a computer, just press a button to update the system and that's it! It also has the ability to download information from MasterKing®, KeyTrail®, and CodeSource® directly from a PC. All of this information and much more is controlled through the touch screen on the Blue SHARK™. This touch screen (approx. 4 3/4" x 2 1/2") is large enough to give the user multiple options on one screen and save the headache of constantly flipping back and forth between screens.

• LAST DSD This setting changes to show the last DSD (Depth & Spacing Data) number cut.
• PRESET 1, PRESET 2, PRESET 3 These settings along with #1, act as shortcuts to speed up the cutting process. These settings can be altered in the user preferences.
• DSD This button allows you to search DSD (Depth & Spacing Data) information by DSD number or Manufacturer Name.
• CODES This button allows you to search for codes by Manufacturer (with or without Code), Code alone, or by Key Blank.
• TOOLS This button allows you to make universal or DSD specific adjustments, adjust the depth and spacing of all operations on the machine, or make manufacturer specific adjustments. You can make machine adjustments to the overall depths, tip spacing, shoulder spacing, and tip-to-bow difference. You can also decode a key, add a security password, update the software, and adjust the contrast of the touch screen.
• HELP This button will access the On-Screen Help file for a complete manual and "how to" guide that takes the user step-by-step through all aspects of the Blue SHARK™.

In addition to all of the intelligent features built into the brains of the Blue SHARK™, you will find that an equal amount of attention was paid to the physical features of the machine. The specially designed 4-way jaws enable the Blue SHARK™ to hold the greatest number of different blanks. The Electronic Safety Switch on the Tip and Shoulder Gauge prevents the cutting of keys, if either gauge is up. The Blue SHARK™ is based on an X-Y table that allows for an expansive range of depths and spaces. A Burr Collection System sweeps burrs into the center of the machine, collecting at the bottom where they are easily collected and discarded without a great mess. An Emergency Stop Button halts the machine's operation at whim and easily allows the user to continue where the operation left off.

• The Blue SHARK™ has the ability to accommodate up to 18 spaces for 18-space keys (two cuts per space) used in Medeco® master key systems.
• An electronic touch-off allows users to cut double-sided automotive keys accurately by code.
• A built-in decoder reads depths of a cut key and displays the information on-screen. From there, a new blank can be inserted and cut to the same or an adjusted bitting.
