HK-CON GmbH Mechanical Engineering
Production plants | Assemblies | Engineering services
HK-CON GmbH Maschinenbau from Fulda develops, designs and manufactures automated, multi-axis CNC turning and milling centres for individual large-scale production. The basis is formed by modular production units that are flexibly and economically combined with the respective optimum technologies for the most diverse applications.
Single-, two-spindle and multi-spindle solutions can be realised with the HK-CON modular system as well as applications with driven tools for drilling, milling, turning and grinding. In addition, tool turrets and tool magazines with quick-change devices are also in use. All HK-CON machines are designed for highly productive, automated operation.
The company employs around 60 people.

HK-CON The company at a glance
The foundation was based on our knowledge and experience in the mechanical and control design of machine tools for the machining of metals. With our solutions concerning the geometrical position of the working spindles and the tools, the highly efficient production of mass turned and mass milled parts is possible. From the very beginning, we have relied on proven suppliers such as Siemens, Schaeffler, Bosch Rexroth, Festo etc.
By adding automated loading and unloading systems to the machines, further fields of competence were occupied.
Today, plants are no longer conceivable without the use of driverless transport systems, conveyor belts, gantry loaders, industrial robots with various gripper systems, image processing systems and measuring systems. In addition, we have developed our own motor spindles for tools and work spindles, spindles, clamping systems, shaft feed-throughs, tool storage and tool transfer systems.
Our ambition is to always develop user-friendly systems, taking into account the latest technology and costs.
Origin
Regionality makes us strong
We produce exclusively in Fulda. Since 2002, we have been facing all challenges together and growing with them.
