KELLER.Academy – Private course with a CarboTech trainee
An inspiring example of how targeted support can pave the way for a successful professional future!
A trainee from CarboTech Group had missed a few lessons due to illness, so his employer sent him to us at the KELLER.Academy. Thanks to a private course, he can now continue his training with confidence and nothing stands in the way of a successful exam!

Orders up to the end of the year will still be processed at the previous conditions.
There are … Insights into the examination task for cutting machine operators
The IHK examinations for cutting machine operators took place on December 6. We used SYMplus to simulate the examination task for CNC milling. You can watch the video on our YouTube channel. (Turning video will come in the following days. Keep yourself subscribed to get updates)
Merry Christmas and a successful start to the New Year
Finally, we would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a good start to the New Year.
Thank you for another great year in the world of CNC machining. We look forward to mastering the upcoming challenges and successes together with you.

KELLER.Academy – Course: Driven tools, level swivel and reform PAL2020
And the time has come again: The last KELLER.Academy course of 2023 is behind us, and the Academy is heading into a well-deserved winter break. But don’t worry, the first course of the new year on “Basics of graphical programming (CAD/CAM) with SYMplus™” will kick off on January 11–12, 2024.
It was truly a fantastic conclusion! For the third time this year, we had the pleasure of welcoming the dedicated teachers from BK Hattingen. We were equally delighted by the visit from representatives of the Oberlin Berufsbildungswerks and Bilstein & Siekermann GmbH & Co.KG.
Congratulations to all the participants for successfully completing the KELLER.Academy course “Driven tools, level swivel and reform PAL2020,” and have a wonderful holiday season. See you next year!

Throwback 2004 – Partnership with Haas
“I have seen the future,” wrote Mr. Peter Hall, Managing Director of Haas, almost 20 years ago, on 01/12/2004, in the KELLER guestbook. A special moment that marked the beginning of a longstanding partnership.
The production lines “CNCplus TRAINING” and “CNCplus PRODUCTION” were established shortly thereafter.

Merry St. Nicholas’ Day!
Merry St. Nicholas’ Day!
In Germany, it is a tradition to place polished boots outside the door on the evening of December 5th. According to legend, St. Nicholas then comes by during the night and fills your boots with sweets and small gifts. 🍬
We may not have sweets for you, but we’ve got a new, interesting video on our YouTube channel!
Watch how we simulated the St. Nicholas’ house with our SYMplus™ CNC software in four different ways:
- G17 IP3 – End face machining with virtual Y-axis
- G17 IP5 – End face machining with real Y-axis
- G19 IP1 – Surface machining with virtual Y-axis
- G19 IP5 – Chord surface machining with real Y-axis

Throwback 1986 – R. & S. KELLER GmbH Foundation
Did you know that KELLER didn’t start out as a software company, but as a publishing house?
Under the publisher’s name “R. Keller”, Mrs. Keller first published educational booklets on the topics of CNC machine tools, geometric and technological as well as mathematical basics in 1982. Our SYMplus™ workbooks are still a reminder of this time.
The success of the products finally led to the founding of R. & S. KELLER GmbH by Mr. and Mrs. Keller in 1986. This photo shows the festivities to celebrate the founding of the company.

Throwback 2016 – User Meeting
#ThrowbackThursday to a special milestone at KELLER.Software! Seven years ago, in 2016, our first “KELLER User Meeting” took place.
These meetings were about more than just dry business discussions; they were primarily about direct exchange with our valued customers, that means with you! Together, we discussed challenges, desired features and progress.
Back then, we also introduced “plusCARE™,” the all-inclusive package for SYMplus™. Today, it’s an indispensable part of our service!
