DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE

OPTIKA is a key-reading device that incorporates high quality performance and precision.
Optika reads a profile and recognises most flat, bit and double bit keys, subject to their being included
in the Silca database.

(*) With a cut key the profile is read properly and

recognized only if the cuts have not touched or
altered the part used for recognition. Example
(fig. 4):

(**) Shoulder stop keys are managed only in KEY MATCHING mode and need an optional adapter.
