Modular CNC Machine Tending Platform for High Mix, Low Volume Production
July 1, 2025
Lyndex-Nikken has introduced the EZ-Tend modular CNC machine tending platform that is designed with innovative lean tending in mind for high mix, low volume production.
The EZ-Tend is an easy-to-use industrial robotic machine tending platform with a compact footprint that is an automation solution within Lyndex-Nikken's EZ-Automation product line. The EZ-Tend is an off-the-shelf automation platform suited for first time or entry-level industrial robotic users as well as experienced professionals wanting ease of use and set-up of an industrial robot for machine tending.
The core of EZ-Tend's simplicity lies in its use of a lean manufacturing technique: pallet changing. This approach enables the user to standardize on one of three pallet sizes: 6x6, 6x9 and 9x20. This flexibility is achieved through preconfigured drop-down options in the HMI. The HMI is designed for simplicity, allowing a nonrobot programmer to create a routine using an easy to read and understand menu with just one screen to set up a new program.
"EZ-Tend is a game-changer for machine shops looking to modernize their operations and stay competitive in a challenging market," said Tom Dang, Vice President at Lyndex-Nikken. "By providing an easy-to-use, cost-effective automation solution, we are empowering our customers to overcome workforce challenges, reduce costs and enhance their overall productivity."
The EZ-Tend is capable of tending milling centers and turning centers.
Lyndex-Nikken's complete EZ-Automation product line is designed with simplicity in mind, providing manufacturers a stress-free entry into Industry 4.0/5.0 and smart factory capabilities. All EZ-Automation products are based on easy, modular and scalable automation solutions that range from machine tending, to machine loading, to work changers and modular tending platforms.
