A review of 2017…


Motion Control Industry Awards

In April 2017, HMK were recognised for our contribution to skills and training. Working with our global partners like Siemens and universities from around the country, we are committed to developing engineers for the future, offering numerous opportunities for graduates across both mechanical and electrical disciplines to gain invaluable experience and gain STEM-related employment.


New Website Launch

2017 witnessed a brand-new website for HMK, with the launch including a restructure to the interface and an update to our product menu. Meaning clear and effortless navigation, along with a slick design that is attractive and professional. We are constantly maintaining and updating our website, ensuring that it is the best that it can be. If you have any suggestions, please email these to enquiries@hmkdirect.com.


PPMA At The NEC, Birmingham

The biggest PPMA to date, 2017 was a huge success for HMK and our Collaborative Robot from Techman. The new TM5 Cobot merges systems that usually function separately in conventional robots, the Cobot is the only collaborative robot to incorporate simple programming, a fully integrated vision system and the latest safety standards in a single unit. We met and spoke with many attendees and look forward to what 2018 could potentially bring for us and automation.



Automation To Your Door…

In September, HMK became equipped to being automation to your door. Acknowledging the importance of time, this new capability will allow us to demonstrate our automation offer and explore application solutions in a collaborative environment with our customer’s teams.
