CNC Training at the KELLER.Academy!
Last week at the KELLER.Academy, participants once again spent their time programming, simulating, and discussing intensively—from the fundamentals of DIN/PAL programming to the practical implementation using our CNC software SYMplus™.
Many thanks to all participants for their active participation and the engaging discussions:
Mr. Haberland from Aluminium Norf GmbH,
Mr. Zaeske from Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG
& Mr. Grun, Mr. Schmidt, and Mr. Seigert from MIBRAG GmbH.

This video demonstrates selected machining steps from Task 13 of the Christiani exercise collection “CNC Milling Technology according to PAL2020”. We illustrate these steps using the 3D simulation of our CNC software SYMplus™. This is not the complete solution to the task, but an explanation of key PAL G-codes.
What to expect in the video:
✅ Milling rectangular pockets using cycle G72
✅ Programming arc slots with cycle G75
✅ Machining and finishing a T-slot correctly
✅ Drilling operations with G81, G82 (peck drilling) and G85
✅ Chamfering the outer contour with activated tool radius compensation (TR)
Who is this video for?
Perfect for CNC programmers, machinists, and instructors looking to improve their PAL G-code programming skills for CNC Milling.

Understanding CAD/CAM step by step – KELLER.Academy
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.

From Practical Experience to Teaching Confidence: Trainers Strengthen CNC Skills at the KELLER.Academy
Even trainers sometimes need training themselves. Mr. Schöntag from Motion Makers GmbH has plenty of hands-on experience at the machine, but for his role in vocational training, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how SYMplus™ is structured and how the PAL (CNC) basics are applied in practice.
For that, the course “Basic DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™” was the perfect choice.
Thank you for visiting the KELLER.Academy, Mr. Schöntag!
