NUMBER 02 - Haas Automation, Inc.

KELLER CNCPlus-TRAINING
Haas Automation Europe and industry leading German
manufacturing software developer KELLER have joined forces to
develop and offer Haas customers a free, ‘off-line’ programming,
CNC training and low-cost CAM package, which will enable
companies to train their machine operators “in-house.”
KELLER CNCPlus-TRAINING is a groundbreaking program
designed to teach both novice and also experienced operators,
without the specific expertise, how to program a Haas machine
using the proprietary Haas CNC. From January 2007, anyone
purchasing a Haas machine tool has been offered this innovative
and highly effective training system – worth thousands of Euros
– absolutely free. The scheme has been so successful that the
company plans to continue the offer throughout 2008.
As a “time-served,” professional engineer, Peter Hall is
unequivocal about the importance of education in the engineering
sector of the future.

“These are exciting times for young people choosing
engineering as a career. It is rapidly becoming very evident
that technology will play a pivotal role in ‘re-engineering’ the
world’s manufacturing economies – and the infrastructure we
rely on – to become more sustainable and less damaging to
our environment.”
“It’s no exaggeration to state that mankind’s future will
depend on the ingenuity of scientists and engineers to develop
the needed technologies and products, and on the resources
of the international manufacturing community to make these
technologies and products a reality. Manufacturing will need a
huge number of well-qualified, skilled people in the decades to
come. Through it’s HTEC program, Haas aims to make a longterm
contribution to meeting this demand.”
