As announced, we were delighted to welcome Mr. Zwingmann from Schleifring GmbH back to the KELLER.Academy.

After attending the course “Basics of Graphical Programming (CAD/CAM) with SYMplus™,” this time the focus was on DIN/PAL programming.

During the KELLER.Academy course “Basics of DIN/PAL Programming,” participants learned, among other things, how to create CNC programs according to DIN/PAL, understand machining sequences, and apply CNC programming in practice with SYMplus™.

Thank you, Mr. Zwingmann, for joining us again, for your active participation, and for the pleasant exchange. It was a pleasure to welcome you back!

KELLER.Academy successfully completed!

Last week, our two-day KELLER.Academy course “Basic DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™” once again focused on one thing: learning by doing.

• Writing CNC programs
• Creating machining simulations
• Setting up tools and tool magazines
• Putting typical PAL exam content into practice with SYMplus™

A big thank you to Mr. Eisert from Kurtz Ersa Hammer Academy for two engaging days, his active participation, and the many interesting discussions. We wish him continued success with SYMplus™!

Both companies are currently strengthening their CNC training directly within their own operations—with SYMplus™ as the foundation.

The reason: What is learned externally often doesn’t fully match a company’s actual production environment. A lot of it has to be adapted or even rebuilt once back in the shop. By bringing training in-house, this step is no longer necessary.

But before getting started, the responsible team members had to go back to “school” themselves. At the KELLER.Academy, they learned how to use the software confidently and how to structure and deliver training content effectively.

Thank you for two great training days, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration!

After Mr. Schober had already attended our CAD/CAM course, we were pleased to now welcome Mr. Zaeske from Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG.

Thank you for your visit, Mr. Zaeske. We wish you every success implementing what you’ve learned in your own company and look forward to seeing you again in the DIN/PAL course in March!

In our first course of 2026, the focus for Mr Schober from Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG was a hands-on introduction to the CAD/CAM workflow with SYMplus™: How do I build a geometry? Where do I click—and in what order—to get to the right tools and settings? And how does SYMplus™ turn all of that into a CNC program?

Thank you for visiting the KELLER.Academy, Mr Schober, and congratulations on successfully completing the course.
