KEY DUPLICATION SYSTEM WITH AUTO TUNE FUNCTIONALITY

Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with a key duplication machine are described. In one embodiment, an assembly for duplicating a master key includes an optical imaging device, a logic, a clamping assembly, and a cutting member. The optical imaging device is capable of capturing an optical image of at least a portion of the master key. The logic is capable of determining a key pattern of the master key from the optical image of the master key. A second logic may be implemented for assembling one or more data points related to one or more key cutting parameters to allow for the creation and implantation of at least one automatic tuning function to provide for one or more subsequent fine tuning adjustments to a key cutting pattern.
