ILCO – Futura Pro One Electronic Key Cutting Machine (BK0486XXXX)

Controlled by a removable 10″ (254 mm) touch-screen tablet, the Futura Pro One guides the user step-by-step in all key cutting operations; for example, in selecting the make, model and year for automotive keys, selecting the cutter, clamp, etc. Futura Pro One is compact, lightweight and portable making this an ideal choice for mobile service operations or where counter space is limited.

• Faster cutting cycles: Futura Pro One features faster cutting cycles thanks to a motor that delivers up to three times more power and a cutter that reaches a speed of 12100 rpm. A new tablet together with upgraded electronics deliver both faster response times and an all-round improvement in the machine performance.
• Optimized and flexible cutting station: Futura Pro One features an optimized cutting station for duplicating all types of laser and dimple keys. The dove tail shaped solution means clamps, adapters and accessories can quickly and easily be mounted to copy, among others, tubular, Kaba® ExperT and Ford® type keys. The wide range of optional accessories further increases the machine’s cutting capabilities.
• Practical and easy to operate: Futura Pro One is controlled by a removable, 10″ touch-screen tablet, which guides the user step-by-step in all key cutting operations (for example in selecting the make, model and year for vehicle keys, in the choice of the right cutter, clamp, etc.). The tablet integrates Silca Software’s main functions and data, including an extensive range of data cards and code tables for laser and dimple keys.
• Immediate process control: The colour-changing LED lights help the key cutter to immediately see the process status:
  – white: the machine is ready to proceed;
  – yellow: the machine is cutting a key;
  – green: the key cutting is complete.
• Improved hardware and connectivity with 2 USB ports: All exposed screws are made of stainless steel for better resistance to wear and a longer life. The machine is equipped with 2 USB ports at the rear: one for the tablet battery charger and one for the tethering connection so the Futura Pro One 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 with Futura Pro One to import code tables or machine software updates.
• Space-saving and portable solution: Futura Pro One 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: Silca prides itself not only on the outstanding quality of its products but also on their unique design. Futura Pro One’s “total black” new look is both distinctive and stylish. Revamped details include the new tool holder mat on the top of the machine and the protective motor cover made of polished steel. The integrated cutter holder makes the working station efficient and orderly.

New software features

• Shortcut function for vehicle key cutting code searches: Searching for the right vehicle key cutting code is now easier and quicker with the card search shortcut function.

• Key cut preview: The preview allows the key cutter to check and correct the cut for a worn laser key.
• Guided updating procedure: Keeping abreast of Futura Pro One’s continuous upgrades has become easier with the new guided updating procedure. The software leads the user step-by-step through all the operations required for updating the machine (via Wi-Fi, via web with Silca Remote Service and via ethernet).
• Faster switch on: The machine turns on quickly thanks to the new upgraded electronics.
