How Do I Cut a Key by Code on My Ninja or Gymkana?
Steps to cut a key by code on Keyline Ninja and Gymkana machines, and what to check if the cut looks wrong.
Cutting a Key by Code on Your Keyline Machine
Keyline machines can cut supported keys using information from the Liger database. The exact procedure depends on the machine, key type, and application.
Cutting by Code on Keyline Ninja
For supported flat/edge-cut keys on Keyline Ninja: open the applicable cutting function, select the vehicle or key application, enter the key code, verify the application and key information, confirm the recommended blank, install the correct blank, install/use the correct clamp, follow the Liger instructions, start the cutting process, and inspect the completed key.
Cutting by Code on Keyline Gymkana
For supported automotive applications on Keyline Gymkana: open Liger, select the appropriate vehicle/application, select the key type, enter the key code, confirm the key information, select the appropriate blank, install the correct clamp, follow the on-screen cutting instructions, and inspect the finished key. Keyline provides a specific Gymkana tutorial demonstrating Audi key cutting by code in its official resources.
Before Using the Finished Key
Check the cut pattern, key profile, blank, burrs, damage, and application before using a key cut on your Keyline machine.
If the Cut Looks Wrong
If a key cut on your Keyline Ninja or Gymkana looks wrong, stop and verify the vehicle/application, key code, blank, clamp, cutter, machine calibration, and Liger database/software. Do not repeatedly cut keys until the cause of the incorrect cut has been identified.
