Lyndex-Nikken Earns FANUC Integrator Status to Deliver Plug-and-Play Machine Tending Automation!

Lyndex-Nikken has been named a FANUC Authorized System Integrator for machine tending, strengthening its position in factory automation and robotics integration. The designation from FANUC reflects Lyndex-Nikken’s capability to design, deploy, and support reliable automation solutions tailored to modern machining environments.

The collaboration centers on combining Lyndex-Nikken’s modular EZ-AutoCart machine tending system with the FANUC CRX-20iA collaborative robot. This integration creates a flexible, “plug-and-play” solution for automated part loading and unloading across CNC lathes, mills, and similar machine tools. By simplifying setup and deployment, the system enables manufacturers to adopt automation with minimal disruption to existing workflows.

The EZ-AutoCart platform is designed for quick integration and mobility, allowing shops to scale machine tending operations efficiently. When paired with the CRX-20iA cobot, it delivers a user-friendly automation solution that supports unattended operation, improves spindle utilisation, and reduces reliance on manual labour. This is particularly valuable in environments facing labour shortages or looking to increase productivity without significant capital complexity.

As part of its role as an authorized integrator, Lyndex-Nikken will assess customer requirements and deliver optimised machine tending configurations tailored to specific production needs. This includes ensuring compatibility, performance reliability, and ease of use, while also providing technical support and implementation expertise. The goal is to help manufacturers improve throughput, maintain consistent quality, and achieve a strong return on investment.

The integration also enhances operational efficiency by enabling continuous production cycles. Automated loading and unloading reduce idle machine time, allowing equipment to run longer with fewer interruptions. This contributes to higher output levels and more predictable manufacturing processes, particularly in high-mix or medium-volume production environments.

For Lyndex-Nikken, the recognition as a FANUC Authorized System Integrator represents a strategic step in expanding its automation portfolio. By combining its expertise in tooling and machine accessories with advanced robotics, the company is evolving into a more comprehensive solutions provider for smart manufacturing.

Overall, the partnership highlights the growing importance of collaborative robotics and modular automation systems in modern machining. By offering accessible, scalable, and easy-to-deploy solutions, Lyndex-Nikken and FANUC are helping manufacturers transition toward more efficient, automated production systems while maintaining flexibility and control.
