Throwback 1988 – Maho MH 600 E
#ThrowbackThursday! Embarking on a time warp to the 80s manufacturing realm! Here’s a glimpse of a Maho MH 600 E from 1988. Back then, the epitome of cutting-edge technology, today it’s an emblem of durability and precision in the CNC milling realm.
Although it’s no longer in production, it continues to reside in a few workshops. Did you have the pleasure of owning or working with a Maho too? Share your memories in the comments!

Postprocessor vs. Simulator: What’s the Difference?
Postprocessor vs. Simulator: What’s the Difference? Here is a short and concise explanation! (see photos)
Still not quite clear? You can find the in-depth answer on our support page:
http://cnc-keller.yoursupport.de/cnc.en/entries/000536/difference-between-postprocessor-and-simulator
A postprocessor automatically “translates” a graphically created work plan (CAD/CAM) into an executable program for a specific control.
A simulator replicates the control itself. Some even simulate the original controls 1:1, with identical user interface and operation, such as SinuTrain or the HEIDENHAIN programming station. The simulators from KELLER, on the other hand, use a control-neutral interface, in which most of the commands and cycles of the real control are reproduced.

Throwback 1988 – Founder Mr. Keller plans the future of his company
Let’s rewind to the year 1988! In this photo, you can find our founder and former CEO, Mr. Siegfried Keller, on the left. Standing beside him (the man with the striped tie) is Mr. Puschner, the former authorised officer of the company. And on the far right of the image, casually propping himself against the monitor, is Mr. Klaus, CEO of the former Klaus Datentechnik in Wuppertal (who sadly passed away a few years ago). Collectively, they were shaping the future of R. & S. KELLER GmbH (now CNC KELLER GmbH).
During this time, our product “GKE + CAM” also hit the market, capturing significant attention in the CNC world. Even the industry giant SIEMENS was impressed, marking the beginning of a significant partnership.
