Vending machines - Efficient C-parts management thanks to HK-MAT
HK-MAT vending machines are the complete solution for effective material and tool management. They take over the stocking, dispensing and automated reordering of your tools, goods and small parts, e.g. C-parts or MRO goods, thus reducing downtimes and production interruptions.
Thanks to their versatile development and special variety, HK-MAT systems are now used in all sectors and industries. Whether cutting tools in metalworking, personal protective equipment in the aerospace industry or hand tools in the electrical industry, we have the right system for tool dispensing, storage and resource management.

The versions of the HK-MAT vending machines - as individual as your needs
The HK-MAT vending machines are available in a wide range of variants and offer you maximum flexibility. From systems with drawers, spiral systems for goods dispensing or weighing cells. The systems can be combined to suit your requirements. Expansion units can be retrofitted at any time and easily connected via plug and play.
If you install the tool vending machines at different locations within your production facility, the systems can be networked with each other. This creates transparency regarding the availability of goods in the neighboring storage locations.
To ensure that your HK-MAT system is customized to your needs, we offer three different service packages: EFFICIENT, PRODUCTIVE or INTEGRATED. This allows you to choose the software options you need for your application.

ADMEDES GmbH, Pforzheim
HAHN+KOLB has taken over equipment of the new training workshop for the new training centre at ADMEDES, a well-known medical technology specialist. In January 2020, HAHN+KOLB installed an HK-MAT vending machine in addition to the workshop equipment – ideal for permanent and fast access to the different kinds of working materials.
HAGL GmbH - Attenkirchen
With the HK-MAT, the HAGL company is optimally equipped to work in a contemporary, uncomplicated and productive manner. The output system can be expanded and adapted to the respective requirements thanks to its modular design. "HAHN+KOLB reacted very flexibly when it turned out that we needed more modules than originally planned," reports Dominik Nocker from HAGL.
Ausbildungszentrum für Technik AZTe, Pforzheim
AZTe has 18 workstations, with modern workbenches and base cabinets in AZTe's individual company color. HAHN+KOLB also supplied milling machines and the HK-MAT DR-LIGHT. The vending machine monitors and documents stocks and automatically reorders. In this way, the items needed for teaching are always available and the smooth running of the seminars is ensured.
Helmut Diebold GmbH & Co., Jungingen
For over 66 years, the traditional company Helmut Diebold GmbH & Co. has been manufacturing tool holders, chucks and spindles, among other things, and the procurement effort for the cutting tools necessary for production had been very high up to this point. To save time, automate processes and maintain a reliable knowledge of stock at all times, Diebold opted for the HAHN+KOLB HK-MAT vending machine.
WILO SE Lehrwerkstatt, Hof
In the WILO Group's training workshop, the distances to the central output in production are long. "We were therefore primarily concerned with decentralization," reports Markus Röder, trainer for metal technology. "We have been working with HAHN+KOLB for more than ten years and have already implemented several projects together. Therefore, we were familiar with the HK-MAT vending machine and decided to use it in the new training workshop."
