Training at the KELLER.Academy – Basic DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™
Surrounded by fresh spring greenery, we delved into the basics of DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™ last week at KELLER.Academy.
Our participants included “HBBK Münster”, “Grünewald Feinmaschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG”, “Bosch Rexroth AG”, and “Lernen fördern e. V.” It was an incredible experience learning and growing together! Would love to do it again anytime!

Training at the KELLER.Academy – Driven tools, level swivel and reform PAL2020
Mr. Potjans from OTTO FUCHS Dülken GmbH & Co. KG attended the KELLER.Academy already 2 weeks ago. However, this time the focus was not on the basics of DIN/PAL. Instead, it was about driven tools, the plane swivel as well as the PAL2020 reform. Mr. Potjans of course passed this course as well and the KELLER.Software team congratulates you heartily. We are truly honored that you put so much trust in our KELLER.Academy. Thank you very much.

Into the Space with KELLER.Software – Training with Airbus Defense and Space GmbH
“Thank you for the excellent training and outstanding support”
is what the guestbook entry reads after an individual training in our KELLER.Academy.
Mr. Kutsch from Airbus Defense and Space GmbH in Taufkirchen (Bavaria) visited our Academy in Wuppertal for a 2-day CAD/CAM training course (milling).
The company uses CATIA as its design tool, and Mr. Kutsch brought DXF data of practical parts with him for his KELLER.Academy course, which will ultimately be sent into space with satellites, although not by him – his workshop colleague and he “only” mill the models etc.. They work with a DECKEL FP2 with Dialog4 control. By the way, the production of the “real” parts – i.e. those that are sent into space – is carried out exclusively by certified companies.

Comparison of old PAL programs and PAL2020
Complete table with a comparison of “PAL2008/PAL2012” and “PAL2020” (status spring 2023):
| PAL2008/PAL2012 | PAL2020 | Meaning | Where is it found? |
| G41 G45 D | G41 G45 DL | Linear tangential approach | Milling and Turning with driven tools |
| G42 G45 D | G42 G45 DL | Linear tangential approach | Milling and Turning with driven tools |
| G40 G46 D | G40 G45 DL | Linear tangential departure | Milling and Turning with driven tools |
| G41 G47 R | G41 G46 RR | Tangential approach on a quarter circle | Milling and Turning with driven tools |
| G42 G47 R | G42 G46 RR | Tangential approach on a quarter circle | Milling and Turning with driven tools |
| G48 G40 R | G40 G46 RR | Tangential departure on a quarter circle | Milling and Turning with driven toolsn |
| G17 | G15 | Svivelling and Resetting the machining level | Milling Level selection |
| G17 | G15 G17 IP3 | Level selection face end with virtual Y axis | Turning with driven tools |
| G17 C | G15 G17 IP0 | Level selection face end with polar coordinates | Turning with driven tools |
| G17 Y C | G15 G17 IP5 CM | Level selection face end with real Y axis | Turning with driven tools |
| G18 | G15 G18 TURN | Level selection for Turning | Drehen mit angetr. Werkzeugen |
| G19 X | G15 G19 IP1 DM | Level selection surface area with virtual Y axis | Turning with driven tools |
| G19 C | G15 G19 IP0 | Level selection surface area with polar coordinates | Turning with driven tools |
| G19 Y X | G15 G19 IP5 DM | Level selection chord area with real Y Axis | Turning with driven tools |
| G86 | M1 ; G86 | Radial recessing cycle | Turning, not automatically “translatable”, therefore commented out here with M1 ;. The cycle must then be reprogrammed. |
| G88 | M1 ; G88 | Axial recessing cycle | Turning, not automatically “translatable”, therefore commented out here with M1 ;. The cycle must then be reprogrammed. |
Other changes do not necessarily require the revision of existing programs, but may have an impact in the simulation:
| PAL2008/PAL2012 | PAL2020 | Meaning | Where is it found? |
| G0 X Y Z | G0 X Y G0 Z |
Positioning logic for G0 and G10 omitted | Milling |
| T S F M13 | T M6 S F M13 |
Tool change with M6 In SYMplus™, however, T still triggers the change directly, M6 remains optional |
Milling |

Training KELLER.Academy at company HG Medical
Last week we conducted a wonderful training course at HG Medical.
The company from Raisting (Bavaria) gave three apprentices (cutting machine operators) a crash course in PAL turning (with face, shell, and chord surface machining) and PAL milling (focus on plane swivel). Building on what they had already learned at school, it was a very effective two days of training, and the three of them are now “relaxed” about the final written exam. Of course, we are keeping our fingers crossed for them!
We at KELLER.Software are pleased about the excellent partnership with HG Medical, as well as with the vocational school and other companies in the Weilheim-Schongau region.

Training in the KELLER.Academy with VR glasses – Basics of DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™
For the first time in 2023 KELLER.Academy. One highlight was the VR workshop, which we were finally able to offer again this year, after it had been cancelled the previous years due to the pandemic. The course participants were thus able to get a taste of virtual workshop atmosphere again and experience the learning method of tomorrow for themselves. In the training room, the topic was “Basics of DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™”.
Congratulations to all participants on successfully completing the course!

Fresh colour for the KELLER.Academy
The effect of a little colour is amazing!
9 new chairs moved into the KELLER.Academy training room this week and brought colors into this grey world. It’s especially refreshing now in the winter.
The new colour scheme in a nutshell:
Green = Growth and Anti-Stress.
Red = Energy and Passion.
Grey = stable basis on which New and Positive growth can take place.
Sounds promising, doesn’t it?
The KELLER.Software team is excited to hear what the next week’s first course participants have to say about the new colours.

New year = new and exciting projects
At KELLER.Software, there are a lot of things on the to-do list: in addition to a new – still secret – project, about which we will reveal more in the upcoming months, the KELLER.Academy will open its doors again at the end of this month (26 – 27.01.2023). For this, we’ve given the training room a good sprucing up. And there’s a design upgrade on top of that, so that your training experience will be even better.
What’s on your list this year?
