KELLER and HAAS on European Tour (Throwback 2005)
“I have seen the future – the best for our shared future,” wrote Mr. Peter Hall from HAAS in our guestbook on December 1, 2004. These words marked the beginning of a wonderful partnership and a joint “European Tour” from 2005 to 2006.
During this period, KELLER and HAAS travelled to Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and Slovakia (this photo is from Slovakia; Mr. Keller, our founder, is on the left, and Mr. Hall is on the right).

Basics of programming CNC machine tools (Throwback 1982)
It all began in 1982 with this “notebook” titled “Basics of programming CNC machine tools”.
Our company founder, Mr. Keller, prepared it during his time as a vocational school teacher in the field of metal technology. But the major publishers refused to publish it – “CNC is not in the curriculum”, they said.
However, Keller did not let this put him off: his wife, Roswitha Keller, quickly founded her own publishing house and published her husband’s booklet. A year later, the publishing house “R. KELLER” also brought out the CNC basic software “Angstfreier Einstieg in die CNC-Technik” for the Apple IIe and the accompanying training booklets.
And the rest is history.

55 years of the Moon Landing
“The Eagle has landed.”
55 years ago today, on July 20, 1969, humans set foot on the moon for the first time. Every machinist knows how crucial precision work is – and it was precisely this precision that made this historic moment possible for mankind.
That’s why our SYMplus CNC software also incorporates maximum precision. So that the “Eagle” … er, the machining, succeeds!
The KELLER.Software team wishes you a great Saturday, enjoy the summer weather – and the moon (by the way, in Germany, this weekend we have a fittingly full moon!)

KELLER at the METAV in Düsseldorf (Throwback 2014)
Can you believe it? 2014 was actually 10 years ago! Back then we, KELLER, were at METAV in Düsseldorf. It was an unforgettable experience, full of surprises! A temporary electrical failure brought everything to a standstill, and one brave trade fair employee went on a scramble to save the day. Fortunately, everything turned out well and we had a great time. New contacts were made and there were exciting innovations.

Fear-free introduction to CNC technology (Throwback 1984)
In 1984, when KELLER.Software was still the publishing house ‘R. Keller’, vocational school teachers Großmann and Keller laid the foundation for our first “KELLER” software. Developed for basic CNC training, the software was called “Fear-free introduction to CNC technology”.
The title was intended to indicate that learning on a PC (which was still something completely new at the time) had advantages. For example: that a crash on the computer causes a scare, but not money.
This crash warning is still built into our CNC software ‘SYMplus’ today. In addition to this, the accompanying workbooks, which were already part of the learning concept back then, are available even today.

Federal Minister Riesenhuber impressed by KELLER’s “graphic programming” (Throwback 1989)
At our 300 square meter stand at EMO 1989, we were able to demonstrate how our product ‘GKE + CAM’ (the forerunner of our current CNC software SYMplus™) advances CNC production. Every hour, we used graphical programming to convert turning and milling contours into NC control formats according to the audience’s specifications in the “exhibition cinema”. The workpiece was then produced on one of the six CNC machine tools!
‘GKE + CAM’ impressed many well-known personalities, including Mr. Riesenhuber (man on the left in the photo), the then Federal Minister for Research and Technology – Mrs. and Mr. Keller is in conversation with him.

Turning according to PAL with SYMplus™ at the BBS Verden (KELLLER.Academy)
KELLER.Academy on the road! We traveled to the BBS Verden for a SYMplus™ training day. Our KELLER.Academy professor and PAL specialist, Mr. Reckermann, introduced the participants to “Turning according to PAL with SYMplus™” and demonstrated the approach with 2-axis and driven tools in the G17 and G19 planes.
A particular highlight was the successful implementation using a postprocessor for the DMG machine with Sinumerik OPERATE!
The teachers now have plenty of material to practice during the upcoming summer vacation, which starts at the end of the week in Lower Saxony!
Many thanks to everyone for a great time! It was great to be with you in Verden.
