A portable manual vertical milling key duplicating machine comprising a body, a main axis component, a guide component, a clamping component, a feeding component, a power storage unit, a display unit and an electric control unit. This solution provides a pre-positioned precise guide mechanism and an adjustable handrail and is capable of improving the precision of key processing in multiple aspects and increasing stability during key processing. It has a compact structure with an upper/lower separate two-way sliding table configuration, thereby substantially reducing the machine size, and the body is divided into three areas, thereby ensuring good protection.

A key cutting and decoding apparatus positions a key blank relative to two distinct, independently movable key cutters and decoding probes. A frame includes a reference axis extending longitudinally from the front of the frame to the rear of the frame. Two locking slots hold removable key blank holders upon a carriage assembly. The carriage assembly is arranged for movement along both an X-axis, generally axial direction of the reference axis, and a Y-axis, generally transverse to the reference axis of the frame. A first cutting assembly moves a cutting drill vertically, along a Z-axis generally orthogonal to each of the reference axis, the X-axis and the Y-axis. A second cutting assembly moves a cutting wheel rotationally, about a rotational axis orthogonal to the Z-axis.

A key duplicating machine is used for duplicating notches of an original key to a key blank. The key duplicating machine includes a base assembly, a first sliding table, a first driving mechanism, a first clamp, a second clamp and a cutting module. The first sliding table is slidably mounted on the base assembly. The first driving mechanism controls a position of the first sliding table. The two clamps are fixed on the base assembly. The original key and key blank are fixed on the two clamps respectively. The cutting module is pivotally mounted on the first sliding table, and has a guiding element, a TO cutting element and a motor. Gravity makes the cutting module rotate, and makes the guiding element and the cutting element press against the keys. The duplicating can be carried out with one hand, which is easier to use and more precise.

A key duplicating machine includes a clamp configured to retain a key to be copied, a reader assembly for reading cuts of the key, and a cutting tool for reproducing the cuts on a blank key. The reader includes a support bearing a feeler element with an end which contacts the cuts on the key and is movable with respect to the support along a first reference direction (Y) parallel to a resting plane. A position sensor, in electronic communication with a controller, continuously detects position changes along the first reference direction (Y) of the feeler element with respect to the support. The support or the clamp is movable along at least a second reference direction (X) that is orthogonal to the first reference direction. During movement of the support or clamp along the second reference direction, the reading end maintains contact with the cuts to follow the cut shapes.

A key cutting machine includes a housing, carriage, key clamp, and motor to drive the carriage. The key cutting machine may include a vacuum removably attached to the housing. The key cutting machine may be selected between manual, automatic, and semi-automatic user modes. Additional improvements or features of a key cutting machine are also described.

A stroke safety device for a key duplicating machine has a fixed mount and a movable mount. The fixed mount is mounted around a connecting shaft of the key duplicating machine and has a first body, multiple first resilient members, multiple pressing elements, and an adjusting element. The first body has a through hole, an inclined segment, and a mounting recess. The movable mount is pivotally connected to the fixed mount and has a second body and an operating element. The second body is pivotally mounted on a base of the key duplicating machine to cover the inclined segment, and has two opposite side segments. The abutting rod is inserted into the mounting recess of the first body to selectively abut against the adjusting element.
