Benefits:

  • Key cutting Futura Pro Unlimited is the electronic key machine for flat, cruciform, laser, dimple and tubular keys.
    * Keys cut with optional accessories
  • Engraving Futura Pro Unlimited engraves metal and aluminium keys, key rings, small medals and plates.
  • Exclusive double cutting and engraving station Futura Pro Unlimited is unique in having two cutting stations so flat, cruciform, laser and dimple keys, both residential and automotive, can all be cut using a single machine. The clamp of the laser key cutting station is able to accommodate the special jaws dedicated to engraving for offering your customers another service.
  • Free lifetime software updates With Futura Pro Unlimited you won’t have to bother with the time-consuming cost and bureaucracy of software subscription. When new software functions, data cards and series are available, you will only need to update the machine.
  • Practical and easy to use Futura Pro Unlimited is controlled by a 10” touch- screen tablet, which guides you step-by-step through all key cutting and engraving operations, making it the perfect tool for inexperienced key cutters. The software helps you select the correct key profile or the make, model and year of a vehicle key, it indicates the right tools to use, it shows the available engraving area, etc. The tablet integrates Silca Software’s main functions and data, including an extensive range of data cards and code tables.
  • Fast cutting cycles Futura Pro Unlimited features optimised cutting cycles thanks to the cutters that reach speeds of 1585 rpm for flat keys and 12100 rpm for laser and dimple keys. The tablet, together with the advanced electronics, deliver the fast response times needed for a high performing machine.
  • Immediate process control The colour-changing LED lights help you to immediately see the process status.
  • Improved connectivity with 2 USB ports Futura Pro Unlimited is equipped with 2 USB ports at the rear: one for the tablet battery charger and one for the tethering connection so the machine and tablet remain connected and operational even when the Wi-Fi connection is lost or unstable. The second USB port can also be used to connect the USB flash drive supplied to import code tables or machine software updates.
  • Space-saving and portable solution Futura Pro Unlimited is compact, lightweight and easy to carry. Featuring a safety shield that slides within the machine body and an ergonomic grip, it is perfect for small shops and vans.
  • Functional and stylish Futura Pro Unlimited has a quality and distinctive look and has been designed to make your job more comfortable and practical, thanks to the wide accessories area on the top of the machine, the cutter-holder behind the flat key cutting station, and the removable swarf tray below the working area.

Engraving

The jaws and adapter feature four areas (or planes) for engraving items of different dimensions.
  • Pre-set user models and guided procedures The software contains over 220 default user models for just as many Silca references. For each reference, you can select the depth of the engraving, whilst the software indicates the jaw plane you should use.
  • Management of user models You can also create customised engraving models through a user-friendly editor that enables you to add text areas and to adjust their size and position within pre-set parameters.
  • Optimised procedures with the job queues The software also manages job queues, with which you will be able to set the cutting/ engraving parameters of a series of keys and, afterwards, process them. Depending on your needs, you can engrave all the keys first and then cut them, or vice versa.
