Throwback 1985 – Heidenhain TNC control system KELLER keyboard
Get your floppy disk, V-neck sweater, and shoulder pads ready because on this #ThrowbackThursday, we’re taking you on a journey back to the ’80s.
In the photo, you can see a Nixdorf 8810 M75 Personal Computer with a ‘Color Monitor’ – boasting an impressive 640 KB of storage space! In comparison, today’s home and office computers typically have storage capacities ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB. In fields like video editing and 3D modelling, they can even go up to 4 TB, and there seems to be no limit in sight.
Right in front of this cutting-edge computer from that era, you’ll find a keyboard created by KELLER for the Heidenhain TNC 155 control system used in CNC training. This provided trainees with a 1:1 experience of the original control system and even had a connection to the CNC machine.

Throwback 1988 – Founder Mr. Keller plans the future of his company
Let’s rewind to the year 1988! In this photo, you can find our founder and former CEO, Mr. Siegfried Keller, on the left. Standing beside him (the man with the striped tie) is Mr. Puschner, the former authorised officer of the company. And on the far right of the image, casually propping himself against the monitor, is Mr. Klaus, CEO of the former Klaus Datentechnik in Wuppertal (who sadly passed away a few years ago). Collectively, they were shaping the future of R. & S. KELLER GmbH (now CNC KELLER GmbH).
During this time, our product “GKE + CAM” also hit the market, capturing significant attention in the CNC world. Even the industry giant SIEMENS was impressed, marking the beginning of a significant partnership.
