Throwback 1992 – CNCplus control
Did you know that KELLER had developed its own control software called “CNCplus” in the past?
In 1992, being motivated by the success of “Graphic Programming with GKE + CAM”, KELLER implemented this project in cooperation with the company NUM as hardware partner and BOEHRINGER as manufacturer (as well as with some other fabricators).
A total of 120 “CNCplus machines” were created, and the “CNCplus control” was even used for retrofitting projects.
Regrettably, further development with NUM was discontinued after a few years. Still, Mr. Kairies, a NUM employee, who recently celebrated his 33-year anniversary with the company, commented when our CEO, Mr. Mues, congratulated him on LinkedIn: “[…] still have several CNCplus controllers in the field!”
Thus, the success story of KELLER and “CNCplus” remains unforgettable!

KELLER.Academy visited the David-Roentgen-Schule in Neuwied
Last week, Mr. Reckermann, our KELLER.Academy trainer, visited the David-Roentgen-Schule in Neuwied. He conducted a training session on DIN/PAL (turning and milling) as well as on the topic of driven tools and plane swiveling.
In addition to the dedicated teachers from DRS, an instructor from the firm Wirtgen in Windhagen also participated in this course. On the first day, a teacher and the principal of BBS Heinrich-Haus Neuwied were also part of the group. A big thanks to all the participants for two fantastic training days!
