Throwback 2001 – No longer afraid of CNC
Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the year 2001!
Back then, many experienced skilled workers were only familiar with conventional machines, and the emergence of CNC technology raised concerns. But KELLER provided the solution! With their user-friendly software, they could joyfully explore the new manufacturing possibilities.
Even today, KELLER.Software remains committed to nurturing and educating people of all ages. Whether you’re taking your first steps on your educational journey or seeking further development opportunities after years of experience, KELLER is here to support your growth and development.

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!
