1.- PRESENTATION AND GENERAL ASPECTS

1.1 GENERAL POINTS

The CAPRI key cutting machine has been designed on the basis of safety standards
currently in force in the EU.
The safety of the personnel involved in handling this type of machines can only be
achieved with a well designed worker safety programme, like the implementation of
a maintenance programme and following recommended advice as well as compliance
with the safety standards included in this manual.
Although the machine is not difficult to install, it is best not to try to install, adjust or
use it without having first read this manual.
The machine leaves our factory ready for use and only requires calibration operations
for the tools that are going to be used.

1.2 TRANSPORT AND PACKING

The machine comes in a robust cardboard box protected with packing foam with the
following dimensions:
Width = 520 mm; Height = 650 mm; Depth = 575 mm
Weight of machine plus packing = 30 Kg.
When you unpack the machine, check carefully to see if it has suffered any damage
during transportation.
If you find any problems, please inform the carrier immediately and do not do anything
with the machine until the carrier’s agent has carried out an inspection.
To move the machine from one place to another, get hold of the machine by the base,
and not by any other part.

1.3 IDENTIFICATION LABEL

The CAPRI key cutting machine has an iden­tification label, giving the machine’s serial or
registration number, the manufacturer’s name
and address, the CE mark and year of manu­facture.

2. - CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MACHINE

The CAPRI machine is a highly robust and precision key cutting machine, which stands
out for having a clamp that enables many different types of keys to be clamped, without
the need for any adaptors.

2.7 COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONAL PARTS

2.7.1 CHANGING THE CUTTER AND TRACER POINT (21)

To release the cutter, you have to press the cutter blocking button and at the same time
rotate the tool-holder by hand.
After removing the cutter to be replaced, insert the new cutter and secure it in the tool­holder, making sure that its end butts up against the inside of the tool-holder.
The tracer point is replaced in the same way as the cutter. The only difference to bear in
mind is that the rotation of the tracer point is always blocked internally.

2.7.2 BLOCKING THE SLIDE AT THE END OF THE “Y” AXIS TRAVEL

In order to prevent the slide from moving in the “Y” direction, whilst the key cutting
machine is holding the keys in the clamp, the slide has been equipped with momentary
blocking in that direction.
To active this blocking, just move the slide as far as it will go in the direction towards
to the key cutting machine.
To deactivate the blocking, just move the slide forward, exercising a little force.

2.7.3 CLAMP (6)

The features of the clamp on the CAPRI key cutting machine are superior to those of any
normal machine on the market, as it has two separate clamping faces. In addition, the
clamps can be blocked in any rotation position between 45º 0º -45º.

2.7.4 TRACER POINT SPRING MECHANISM (11)

The tracer point can be used in two different ways, depending on the work you are
going to do:

ENGLISH

- Tracer point with spring mechanism. The tracer point spring mechanism is

only used for cutting dimple keys.

- Tracer point blocked. The blocked tracer point is used to carry out cutting

operations with the slide forward. In general, for cutting wave keys.
To activate or deactivate the tracer point spring mechanism, you just have to turn the
tracer point spring mechanism knob 180º (half turn).
When the tracer point spring mechanism is activated, the tracer point tip is located
slightly below its adjustment position in relation to the cutter. This tracer point position
enables you to insert it gently into the hole in the original key, before the cutter starts
cutting the key to be copied. This avoids any vibrations and sudden movements of the
slide.
To find out the status of the tracer point at any time (with spring mechanism or blocked),
there is an indicator on the machine’s keypad-display which provides this information. If
the light is on, the spring mechanism is activated. On the other hand, if the light is off,
the tracer point is blocked.

2.7.5 SPRING MECHANISM AND BLOCKING OF THE SLIDE ON THE
“X” AXIS (5 AND 4)

We recommend that you use the spring mechanism for the slide on the “X” axis to carry
out lateral cutting of wave keys.
We recommend you use the blocking of the slide on the “X” axis for cutting or dimpling
in a straight line.

2.7.6 SUPPORT LEVER FOR TUBULAR KEYS

The CAPRI key cutting machine has a fold-away lever on its top-left side which helps to
make cutting tubular keys, wave keys, etc. more comfortable, as it serves as a support
point for the hand activating the slide travel lever.

2.7.7 CUTTER SPEED (17)

The machine has a speed selector on its right side, which enables you to select the
cutter rotation speed. In general terms, you can say that the rotation speed depends
on the cutter material:

- Position I: To work with an HSS cutter (6,000 rpm)

- Position II: To work with a HARD METAL cutter (11,000 rpm)

- Position O: Cutter at rest.

2.7.8 KEYPAD-DISPLAY (1)

ON-OFF button

Press it for the keypad-display functions to go into ACTIVE mode. A green light will
appear next to the button.
Press it again for the keypad-display to go into STAND-BY mode. A red light will appear
next to the button.

Lighting button

Press it to switch on the lighting diodes (if they are off) or switch them off if they are on.
This button operates independently of the status of the “ON-OFF” button.

SPRING MECHANISM indicator

If the blue light is on, this means that the tracer point is in SPRING MECHANISM AC­TIVATED mode.
If the blue light is off, this means that the tracer point is BLOCKED (spring mechanism
deactivated).

MODE button

This button is for activating-deactivating operation of the tracer point vertical ad­justment system.

TRACER POINT ADJUSTMENT indicators.

The light on the left comes on when the tracer point is touching the key.
The light on the right comes on when the cutter is touching the key.

FORCE visual indicator.

Indicates the ideal force to be applied during cutting.

NOTE: In addition to the visual indicator, the force control system also has an audible
indicator that emits a sound when you have achieved the ideal cutting force. This audi­ble indicator can be activated-deactivated by pressing the MODE and ON-OFF buttons
at the same time.

2.7.9 VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRACER POINT (15)

Each time the cutter-tracer point is changed, the tracer point has to be vertically ad­justed.
In order to be able to use the tracer point electronic vertical adjustment system, the
keypad-display must be active (when it is active, a green light appears next to the
ON-OFF button).
When the keypad-display is active, you can activate-deactivate the tracer point electro­nic vertical adjustment system by pressing the MODE button.
To vertically adjust the tracer point, proceed as follows:

• Secure the cutter and tracer point in their corresponding tool-holders. Make sure
that they have been secured, inserted upwards as far as they go.

• Secure two similar keys in the machine clamps.

• Release the tracer point spring mechanism (tracer point blocked).

• Lower the head, until the cutter and the tracer point rest on the keys in the
clamps. Then, one of the following three situations will occur:

LEFT BLUE LIGHT. If only the blue light on the left comes on, this means that
the tracer point is touching the key, but the cutter is not. Therefore, you have to
turn the cutter adjustment wheel to the left, until both adjustment lights some on.
RIGHT BLUE LIGHT. If only the blue light on the right comes on, this means that
the cutter is touching the key, but the tracer point is not. Therefore, you have to
turn the tracer point adjustment wheel to the right, until both adjustment lights
come on.
LEFT AND RIGHT BLUE LIGHTS. This means that both the cutter and tracer
point are touching their respective keys. This means that the height of the tracer
point has been adjusted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When adjusting the height of the tracer point, you need to bear
in mind the type of key you are going to cut. If it is a WAVE key, very little force needs
to be applied to the head activation lever (on the visual force indicator no light should
come on). On the other hand, if it is a DIMPLE key, the blue adjustment lights have to
come on, and the force indicator should indicate the ideal cutting force for dimple keys
(to achieve this, you have to apply a slight force on the head activation lever).

2.7.10 CONTROL OF CUTTING FORCE

The CAPRI machine has a revolutionary cutting force control system. This is a patented
system, which when you are cutting DIMPLE keys, indicates the ideal force to exercise
on the head activation lever. It has two indicators for this purpose:

Visual indicator. The ideal cutting force is achieved when the line of lights rea­ches the white arrow.
Audible indicator. When the line of lights reaches the white arrow, the machine
emits a sound. This audible indicator can be activated-deactivated by pressing the
MODE and ON-OFF buttons at the same time.

This cutting force control system enables you to cut DIMPLE keys with great precision.
You will cut the holes in the key with exactly the same force with which you have
adjusted the height of the tracer point. In this way, you obtain maximum precision in
cutting DIMPLE keys.

3.- CUTTING

3.1 CUTTING PROCESS

• Switch on the machine using the main switch located on the back right-hand side
of the machine.

• To improve visibility in the work area, activate the lighting by turning on the switch
located on the keypad-display.

• With the help of the table provided in this manual, select the cutter and tracer
point necessary to cut the key.

• Change the cutter and tracer point.

• Momentarily block the slide at the end of the “Y” axis travel.

• Secure the original key in the left side of the clamp, and the key to be cut in the
right side. When securing the keys, bear in mind the following details:

- KEY STOP. It may be a key which is stopped from being inserted further by its
shoulders (Fig. 4.A), or a key stopped by its tip (Fig. 4.B).

- ADAPTOR. For some very specific types of key, it may be necessary to use an
adaptor.

ENGLISH

- ANGLE CUT. Some keys have angle cut dimples, for which it is necessary to

rotate the clamp.

• Carry out the vertical adjustment of the tracer point.

• Activate the systems which simplify the cutting work:
TRACER POINT: Activate or deactivate the tracer point spring mechanism,
depending on the type of key being cut.
SLIDE: Based on the model of key, it may be a good idea to activate the slide
spring mechanism, or block the slide in the “X” direction.
SUPPORT: Depending on the type of key, it may be a good idea to use the support
lever for tubular keys.

• Start rotating the cutter, having first selected one of the two speeds available.

• Proceed to cut the key. If it is a dimple key, use the help of the cutting force
control system.

3.2 CUTTING KEYS

3.2.1 KA-2, KA-3 AND KA-4 KEYS.

• Different pairs of cutters and tracer points are used depending on the key to be cut.
See table.

Reading the code on the original key

• The original key has 6 cutting positions, which are defined by the letters: A, B, C, D, E
and F, as shown in the figure below.

• In each of the key’s positions, there are 4 different possible combinations (defined by
numbers), which we are going to indicate and number:

ENGLISH

1 2 3 4

• Height no. 1, indicates that it should not be cut. Position no. 2 indicates there is a
small notch in the key and when it is slightly deeper this is position no. 3. Height no. 4
is the deepest notch in the key.

• You then take the key and mark the combinations of each of the 6 positions, as
shown below, by way of example:

POSITION A B C D E F
COMBINATION 3 4 1 2 4 2

NOTE: The series of combination numbers is the key code.

3.2.11 MCM-10 KEY.

• Special positioning in the clamp. See figure.

See Fig.15

3.2.12 TE-T60 AND TE-T80 KEYS

• Special positioning in the clamp. The TE-T60 is clamped as shown in the drawing.

• The TE-T80 key has the peculiarity that to machine the left side it is clamped like
the TE-T60 and to machine the right side the key has to be clamped by the back part of
the clamp (like with the MCM-10 key).

See Fig. 16

4.- MAINTENANCE

When carrying out any maintenance work, it is necessary to meet the following requi­rements:

1. Never carry out any maintenance work with the machine switched on.

2. Unplug the machine.

3. Strictly adhere to the indications in this manual.

4. Only use original spare parts.

4.1 REPLACING THE CLAMP JAWS

The CAPRI machine’s clamp has three pairs of jaws (left fixed jaw, right fixed jaw and
moving jaw). If any of them become damaged, you can replace them with new jaws,
separately.
To replace the left fixed jaw (A) or the right fixed jaw (B), you just have to undo the two
screws securing them, and remove them by pulling them upwards. Reverse the process
to fit the new jaws.
To replace the moving jaw (C), you need to follow the steps below:

1) With the help of a cutter or something similar, remove the clamp knob’s black
plastic cover.

2) Whilst locking the locknut with a size 14 spanner, insert a no. 5 Allen key into the
hole revealed in the clamp knob, and unscrew it.

3) Tilt the clamp 45º, and manually turning the spindle, remove it from one of the
sides. Once the spindle has been removed, the moving jaw is released and you can
remove it.

4) To fit the new moving jaw, simply reverse the process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you replace the left fixed jaw or the right fixed jaw, you
always have to adjust the pair of jaws that has been replaced. On the other hand, if you
replace the moving jaw, it is not necessary to carry out any adjustment on the jaws.

See Fig. 17

4.2 ADJUSTING THE JAWS

Whenever you replace the left fixed jaw or the right fixed jaw, you have to adjust the
pair of jaws that has been replaced. On the other hand, the replacement of the moving
jaw does not require any adjustment to the jaws.
There are two different ways of adjusting the jaws:
NORMAL adjustment
PRECISION adjustment

4.2.1 NORMAL ADJUSTMENT

This is a quick, simple adjustment, which will give you an acceptable adjustment
enabling you to cut keys with a certain amount of precision.
To carry out this adjustment, follow these steps:

1) Secure the two adjustment rods in their relevant tool-holders, inserting then as far
as they will go into the tool-holder, with the tapered part of the adjustment rods on the
outside.

2) The left fixed jaw on the right-hand side of the clamp and the right fixed jaw on the
left-hand side of the clamp cannot be adjusted, as they are held in position by means
of pins. So you have to fit them, by guiding them with their pins and then securing them
with their corresponding screws.

3) Therefore, knowing that in each pair of jaws there is one with a fixed position, you
have to adjust the other jaw in relation to the one with the fixed position.

4) Insert the screws for the jaw to be adjusted, but do not tighten them. So that the
jaw can be moved by hand, but cannot lift up from the surface it is resting on.

5) Adjust the jaw:

5.1) Insert the tracer point adjustment rod into hole no. 1 in the jaw.

5.2) Make the cutter adjustment rod coincide with hole no. 1 in the other jaw.

5.3) Raise the head and carry out the same operation, with hole no. 2 in the jaws.

5.4) Repeat this operation as many times as necessary until the adjustment rods
enter smoothly without the need for any force, in both hole no. 1 and hole
no. 2.

5.5) With the two adjustment rods inserted in holes no. 1, block the head, and
slightly tighten screw B.

5.6) With the two adjustment rods inserted in holes no. 2, block the head and
slightly tighten screw A.

5.7) Repeat the above operation, but fully tightening screws A and B.

5.8) Once you have completed the adjustment process, with the help of the special
short-arm 1.5 Allen key, tighten the two setscrews located between the clamp
knob and the jaw you have adjusted. This will ensure that the jaw you have adjus­ted is tightly secured.
