The Car Key
The car key is the most widely used of all the key types. A car or automobile key usually has grooves on both sides and the car company's logo on the head. It starts the ignition and opens the doors, trunk, and glove compartment. Some cars have a "valet key" as well that will start the ignition and open the driver's door but won't open the glove compartment or trunk where valuables may be stored. As incidences of car theft increase, coded immobilizers and other anti-theft features are being installed in new vehicles. A keyless entry system with a remote control instead of a key is now a standard feature of many new cars. The car key is the most requested type of key to be made by most key cutting machine operators.

Laser Engraving Machines
A laser engraving system consists of a laser, a controller, and a surface. The laser is like a pencil that emits a beam of light. The controller uses the laser to trace patterns onto the engraving surface. The controller, which is usually a computer, determines the direction, speed, intensity, and spread of the beam on the engraving surface. The focal point of the laser beam is the point where it touches the surface. Depending on the optical wavelength, this focal point is usually small. It may be a fraction of a millimeter. The surface material is selected for its appropriateness for ease in laser engraving.
