Training KELLER.Academy at company HG Medical
Last week we conducted a wonderful training course at HG Medical.
The company from Raisting (Bavaria) gave three apprentices (cutting machine operators) a crash course in PAL turning (with face, shell, and chord surface machining) and PAL milling (focus on plane swivel). Building on what they had already learned at school, it was a very effective two days of training, and the three of them are now “relaxed” about the final written exam. Of course, we are keeping our fingers crossed for them!
We at KELLER.Software are pleased about the excellent partnership with HG Medical, as well as with the vocational school and other companies in the Weilheim-Schongau region.

Training in the KELLER.Academy with VR glasses – Basics of DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™
For the first time in 2023 KELLER.Academy. One highlight was the VR workshop, which we were finally able to offer again this year, after it had been cancelled the previous years due to the pandemic. The course participants were thus able to get a taste of virtual workshop atmosphere again and experience the learning method of tomorrow for themselves. In the training room, the topic was “Basics of DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™”.
Congratulations to all participants on successfully completing the course!

Practical Tip: How to organise Postprocessors – In Video format
SYMplus™ provides a list of around 50 Postprocessors. In reality, you will hardly ever need all of them. Mostly you work with one or a few. So selecting the right postprocessor can prove to be a nuisance with such a large list. Here is a tip that can help you organise those Postprocessors efficiently: Create a second folder for postprocessor parameter sets, and copy the postprocessors you currently need into this folder. That’s it.
In this practical tip, you will see how this works:

Training with SYMplus™ for South Korean scholarship holders
The SYMplus™ enabled South Korean scholarship holders to get to know the basics of CNC turning as well as milling.
As part of the “Global Internship Program” project, the total of 8 young people from South Korea visited the electrical training centre in Mühlacker (Baden-Württemberg) for 6 weeks. They had already been able to gain initial CAD/CAM experience at school. However, DIN/PAL programming and some of the basic knowledge associated with it were new to them.
“Before their training, they completed a crash course in German (also lasting 6 weeks) at Frankfurt am Main. An interpreter was present the whole time, who was committed to translating the many technical terms. After a short period of getting used to each other between trainer, trainees and translator, everything worked great,” reports the trainer Matthias Krämer. “Thanks to the help built into SYMplus™, the learners were able to acquire a lot of knowledge on their own.”
Mr Krämer and the young people from South Korea had a great time, technically-didactically and also in cultural exchange.

SYMplus™ Update 63
SYMplus™ Update 63 is now available to all customers with plusCARE™ and includes new features as well as great improvements.
- Scale the font size in the editor of the simulators to 200% by default (e.g. for the beamer image of the teacher’s computer)
- When creating PAL gap-filling tasks, store individual instructions for each gap in the text
- Receive the new simulators for the SINUMERIK 808D control system
- The exchange of revolver stations and individual allowance presettings for roughing, facing and grooving in turning operation was never so easy
In addition, many detailed improvements in the simulators for PAL2020, SIEMENS 810D/840D and HEIDENHAIN allow for more effective work. The use of mobile licenses and the sources for the creation of individual macro work steps (by customer order) have also been improved. Other sample programs have been revised according to PAL2020 (for new installation as part of the user data).

Lastly, we want to pause and look back at the past year.
It was great to see that many events and meetings took place this year. It started with the BETT UK education fair in London in March and ended with the BZI Remscheid open day last month.
The fact that face-to-face meetings were more feasible again than in the past two years was also evident at the KELLER.Academy: close to 40 guests came to the Academy courses this year (in comparison: there were less than twenty in 2021). In addition, the KELLER.Academy celebrated its fifth anniversary and held (virtual) training courses in Pakistan and Mexico, both of which are far away. In September, we published the new “SYMplus™ license via the Internet”, with which you now only need one KELLER ID to let several users work with SYMplus™. And in October, a new edition of the workbooks was also published.
Look out for more new improvements next year!

PRACTICAL TIP – How to organise Postprocessors
December 2022
SYMplus™ provides a list of around 50 Postprocessors. In reality, you will hardly ever need all of them. Mostly you work with one or a few. So selecting the right postprocessor can prove to be a nuisance with such a large list. Here is a tip that can help you organise those Postprocessors efficiently: Create a second folder for postprocessor parameter sets, and copy the postprocessors you currently need into this folder. That’s it.
Here it goes:
Step 1:
Open the “Work plan” operating mode (alternatively also “PAL simulator” or “Simulator”).
Step 2:
Select “F1 File” > “F5 Management” > “F4 Postprocessor Parameter”.
Step 3:
Mark the file(s) relevant to you and add them to your personal selection list with “F5 Add”. The selected files are then each marked with a black triangle/arrow.
Step 4:
Then select “F2 Copy” and choose the destination folder from the list. Confirm your selection with “F10”. If you don’t have a folder yet, create one by clicking “F2 Add …” or ‘link’ to an already existing one. In our example, the new folder is called “MY_PPs” and is a subfolder of the default folder “PARAM-SA”.
Step 5:
Finally, enter the name under which the folder should appear in the “SYMplus™ File Management” in the future (for example: “My Post Processors”) and confirm with 2x “F10”.
Now you can select your newly created folder from the folder list. Click on “F10” to open the folder. Subsequently, you can exit the parameter set management with “Esc” or “F10”.
