Innovations and the future of learning.
We have good news: The next SYMplus™ update will be available in the next few weeks for all customers with a plusCARE™ contract.
You can expect improvements to PAL2020, optimisations to the software performance and much more in Update 62 of your SYMplus™ CNC software. As soon as it is online, we will let you know immediately. Please keep an eye on our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), our website or the update notification in the software.
In this context, we would also like to point out that Update 61 was already available last week. However, this had a bug and so we reacted quickly and stopped it without further ado. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about this. With Update 62, this error has been fixed.
All new features and optimisations can always be found here on our website.
The Bett UK Education Exhibition is taking place in London this month (23 – 25 March).

Learn new things faster and more effectively
It is no secret that learning is increasingly taking place on the Internet.
Videos are particularly popular. Videos increase the clarity of a topic through their visual presentation and, because our brains remember images better than texts, help us retain information in our heads for longer.
That’s why we at KELLER.Software have been running a YouTube channel for a few years now, covering topics such as:
How does the machining of Grooves work?> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqqflAwVSeE
How to setup vocabulary tests and multiple choice tasks using SYMplus™ software?> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5FngKoU1Qo&t=4s
How to compare production strategies effortlessly with each other using SYMplus™ software?> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSeaABYL7wg&t=3s
There is something for everyone. No matter whether you are just taking your first steps as an apprentice or would like to further your education as an experienced person.

PRACTICAL TIP – From PAL Programming to chips
February 2022
The phrase “From PAL programming to chips” refers to the fact that with SYMplus™ you can not only learn the theory, but you can also build a bridge to practical application. Please note that whether you have a new machine with SIEMENS, HEIDENHAIN or HAAS or one from the 80s with a Dialog 4, EPL or CNC432 control, it always works the same way.
We will show you in the following practical tip how this works:
Step 1
Load the program you want to put on the machine into the PAL simulator and test it diligently using the simulation.
Step 2
Now carry out the following steps 1, 2 and 3:
Step 3
Generate NC program:
3.1.
Search for the parameter file of the desired control via F1 “Control parameters” and confirm the selection with F10.
3.2.
Use F2 “Folder” to select the location where you want to save the program ( for example, this could be on a hard disk or a USB stick)
3.3.
Please be aware that older controllers in particular only allow numbers and no letters in the “Name” field. Also, please refrain from using special characters and spaces.
Step 4
The program must now be transferred to the machine. This can be done either via network, USB connection or “serially” using the “Transfer” mode of SYMplus™.
Step 5
Test the generated program again using the simulation graphic on the control. If any changes are necessary, feel free to contact us.
Step 6
When everything is running smoothly: Why not record your success with a photo or video and send it to us? We are always happy to receive such responses. We look forward to seeing your PAL programming practice workpieces on the machine!

Practical Tip: 3 steps to rotary-symmetric contour – In Video format
By loading the video you accept YouTube's privacy policy.
Learn more
A pocket or an island contour is usually constructed from the starting point of the contour once around to the end point. In the case of a rotary-symmetrical contour, this would usually be unnecessarily time-consuming and, in part, hardly feasible anyway due to the dimensions. When programming in SYMplus™, you can achieve the complete contour in just three steps. Watch the video to find out how.
