Why SYMplus™ is a valuable addition to your lessons (CNC software for training)
- More time for the important things: with SYMplus™, teachers don’t have to spend as much time preparing teaching materials. Instead, they can use this time to focus on imparting subject knowledge and supporting students.
- Qualitative learning content: SYMplus™ ensures that all students have access to high-quality and up-to-date learning content specifically designed for training machinists and similar trades.
- Inhomogeneous learning groups: With SYMplus™, students can learn at their own pace, so inhomogeneous learning groups are not an obstacle and have access to important learning materials, which helps them improve their skills individually.
- Interactive learning environment: Interactive modules allow students to gain hands-on experience without the fear of “breaking something” and directly apply their theoretical knowledge in a safe learning environment.

New video: Final Exam Part 2 for Machinists, Summer 2024 (Turning)
Simulation of the IHK Final Exam (Exam conducted by Chamber of Industry & Commerce, Germany) Part 2 for Machinists, Summer 2024, CNC Turning is now available on YouTube:
- Watch the video: https://youtu.be/rMk0jaUg78w
In the Turning examination task this time, all machining operations had to be carried out with driven tools on chordal surfaces (G19 IP5). In particular, gaps in the cycle calls (G7x) had to be filled, where the candidates needed to understand the axes in the G19 plane (YZ). In contrast to milling, however, it was not necessary to program entire contour trains. Instead, they were required to determine individual coordinates for the “center tolerance” and ISO fits. There were further gaps for recesses, an internal recess and jump addresses in program part repetitions.

Newsletter June 2024
The exams are finally over and the summer vacation is just around the corner. But before you go fully into vacation mode, let’s take a look back at the exams – especially at the tasks given. What content was covered? What tricky challenges had to be mastered this year?Bye-bye exam stress, Hello summer!
Milling:
There were no major surprises in the milling exam. Of course, it was necessary to master the functions for switching the radius correction on and off and to apply the commands for soft approach and departure that have been changed since 2020.
In addition, contour points had to be read from the drawing and starting point coordinates had to be subtracted from the centre point coordinates, which were always dimensioned absolutely, to calculate I and J. Two fitting dimensions had to be determined, a rotational speed had to be calculated and some gaps in the cycle for thread milling (G88) and tapping (G84) had to be filled – similar to the previous winter exam.
