Newsletter February 2022
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: 3 steps to rotary-symmetric contour – In Video format

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.

Boehringer VDT DUC 560 lathe built in 1996
We recently discovered that the Bergische University of Wuppertal has an old CNC Machine which still works using one of our older softwares. So we decided to pay a visit.
There we saw a Boehringer VDT DUC 560 lathe built in 1996, and the best thing about it is that it still works! This is achieved by using the former KELLER software CNCplus, which makes the tools turn.
We also made some videos during our visit. In this video you can see Mr.Cavallaro, the Workshop Manager of the Physics Mechanical Workshop at the university, happily taking control of this 25 year old machine:

The problem: The control system of their machine does not offer a suitable cycle for two counter-rotating 3-flute flat threads on a spreader roll (Ø152, length approx. 3m).
The solution: A macro in SYMplus™ that can rough and finish the threads with normal grooves in many small infeeds.

Practical Tip: Vocabulary tests? Multiple choice tasks? This is how it works with SYMplus™ – In Video format
If you teach DIN/PAL programming using our SYMplus™ software, you are probably familiar with the “Teacher” mode of operation, which allows you to perform gap-filling tasks in the style of the written IHK(Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Germany) final examinations. What you may not know, however, is that this operating mode gives you many more options than simply using an NC program as a basis.
To learn how to set up vocabulary tests and multiple choice tasks on SYMplus™, watch this video.
