The VR workshop: Playful access to the CNC world.
What if you could learn in a “real” CNC workshop instead of learning theory in a classroom? What if you could practice there on lathes or milling machines without the fear of making a mistake? This is the possibility offered with the VR workshop from KELLER.Software.
With this modern and playful learning method, the necessary learning content is intuitively internalized. Thanks to the two VR controllers, you can now move through the “virtual workshop”, you grasp objects, press buttons and make machines work. And the VR glasses are like a new pair of eyes.
Do you want to dive into the virtual world yourself? On November 4 and 5, 2022, we will be at the BZI Remscheid open day with our VR glasses. We would be happy to give you a glimpse of the Virtual World. Of course, we will also be available to answer any questions you may have on the topics of training, further education and vocational orientation.
We wish you a beautiful day ahead

New edition workbooks for PAL2020.
In 2 months it will be Christmas, but before we settle down comfortably on the sofa with cookies, we still have a PAL exam coming up.
To help you prepare for the exam in the best possible way, we have updated the SYMplus™ workbooks to include the PAL2020 commands and made a few other important corrections as well. The new edition with PAL2020 is now available for purchase from us. By the way, even without an exam, the workbooks are a great learning tool to learn the CNC basics with SYMplus™.
What are SYMplus™ workbooks?
Methodically interlocked with SYMplus™, the SYMplus™ workbooks are the ideal teaching material for the introduction to CNC, basic training according to DIN, preparation for the PAL exam as well as control-specific technical training and CAD/CAM. The workbooks are structured according to topics and contain tasks with increasing levels of difficulty. The workbooks are also available digitally on request.
These workbooks are available for purchase:
- SYMplus™ Turning workbook
- SYMplus™ Milling workbook
If you want to know in detail what contents can be found in the respective workbooks, take a look at the reading samples:

1 KELLER-ID = x Users.
No more time-consuming setups. No more of this unnecessary administrative act. Easily create one license for each technology and multiple users can work with the same KELLER ID at the same time. From now on, this is possible online with the new version of the SYMplus™ license.
Before: Each individual user had to be registered with a unique KELLER ID in the customer portal of the KELLER Cloud.
Today: You can easily start SYMplus™ for many users at the same time via a single KELLER-ID and a password. This password can be changed by the admin (teacher) at any time.
This is especially convenient for schools. When the course/school year is over, you can just change the password once and only the students who are part of the current course/class will be able to work with the software.
The “old” variant (standard variant) is of course also still possible and can be requested by you as usual.
What is a SYMplus™ Online license anyway?
The Online License allows you to start the software without a USB key, in contrast to the conventional license. Just enter the password and off you go. All you need is a permanent internet connection ( the license is accessed via this connection).
Is this exactly what you need? Then contact us now to purchase a license >
Practical Tip: Rewrite old PAL programs for the PAL2020
With the PAL2020 reform, some of the commands in the PAL coding were changed. The commands were changed so that programs written after PAL2008 or PAL 2012 will no longer run and lead to any error messages in the newer PAL2020 simulators (or PAL2020 C/Y or PAL2020 3+2). This means that you have to rewrite the program blocks almost completely – and that takes time.
A faster way to do this is to use the “Find/Replace“ trick! To learn more about this Tip of the Month, please click here.

3rd year at KELLER.Software
It is shocking how the time flies. Our intern Mr. Jan Fiebich has entered his third year of internship. This means that he has been with us for 2 years already and this is his final year of training with us …
So we asked Jan what he wants to say about this:
Jan Fiebich: “They always say “All good things come in threes”. This is also the motto of the final year of my internship. Shyness and the settling-in phase are no longer concepts for me. Now I’m heading into the 3rd year of my internship and the final exam in 2023 with a lot of hunger for knowledge and motivation!”
– Your KELLER.Software team is keeping its fingers crossed for you! Good luck Jan.

Digital learning with KELLER.Software.
Classical learning is constantly evolving. “Digital learning” moved more and more into everyday life. This process was sped up in the last 2 years mainly due to the Covid Pandemic. For this reason we started our new project “E-Learning” in March 2022.
Over a period of 3 months, we learned what a custom-fit learning path means and what a learner persona is. We got busy with learning platforms and new (digital) learning formats. And we dealt with some previously unknown topics such as writing scripts and shooting videos. The focus was always on the benefit of the learner.
At the moment we are in the first test phase of our “E-learning”. And in the course of this we just have to say thank you to our great customers. Thank you for taking the time to test the “E-learning” platform. Your feedback is very valuable to us.
What’s the next step? After the test phase, the feedback will of course flow into further development. After that, we will test again.
On the subject of learning, the new school year starts this month in North Rhine-Westphalia, whereas the vacations are just beginning in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The KELLER.Software team wishes you a successful school year and a great vacation.
For the next school year: How about some SYMplus™ workbooks? Organized by topics and with increasing difficulty, the workbooks with many different exercises are the ideal teaching material for the introduction to CNC, for basic education according to DIN as well as for the preparation for the PAL exam. Or also for control-specific technical training and CAD/CAM.
