Why is stock left when facing with constant surface speed?

In this video, we guide you step by step through Task 10 from the Christiani task collection “CNC Turning Technology according to PAL2020”. Thanks to our 3D simulation in SYMplus™, everything is explained clearly and understandably. What to expect in the video: ✅ Why a remaining core is left in the center during facing ✅ […]

CNC knowledge – ready to go! (KELLERAcademy)

In our course “Basics of DIN/PAL Programming with SYMplus™”, participants spent 1.5 days writing and simulating programs, setting up tools, magazines and turrets, and creating their own gap-filling exercises. Add to that lots of engaging discussions – and plenty of fun while experimenting. A big thank you to our participants – we had a really […]

Cutter Radius Compensation G41 G46 – Chamfer vs. Fillet, Circular Arcs I/J & R (Video)

In this video, we guide you step by step through Task 14 from the Christiani task collection “CNC Milling Technology according to PAL2020”. Thanks to our 3D simulation in SYMplus™, everything is explained clearly and understandably. What to expect in the video: ✅ Cutter radius compensation & tangential approach (G41 G46) ✅ Difference: Chamfer (RN–) […]

Work Experience instead of making Coffee! Internship at KELLER (Application Developer)

Work experience instead of making coffee! At KELLER, interns are given real responsibilities from day one. That was also the case for Mr. Born, who – during his two-week internship in application development – got to code, test, and try things out himself: C# programming → from console applications to his first own Windows Forms […]

KELLER.Academy shows how easy graphical programming can be!

In our 1.5-day KELLER.Academy course, Mr. Ambrosy from Mager GmbH (a manufacturer of screws and turned parts) successfully completed the introduction to graphical programming with SYMplus™. The focus: creating workpieces (based on drawings or CAD files), applying functions precisely, and navigating confidently through the graphical process. Thank you for your participation and your trust in […]
