Case Study: Gupta Permold achieves consistent high-throughput beam sanding with FANUC and Premier Automation

Gupta Permold boosts beam sanding productivity by 60% with FANUC America Corporation

Gupta Permold, an aluminum engineered component manufacturer, faced challenges with staffing shortages and inconsistent manual sanding quality that hindered production. To address this, they partnered with vendor FANUC America Corporation and its authorized system integrator, Premier Automation, to implement an automated robotic solution.

The solution implemented by FANUC America was a Robotic Sanding Cell featuring a FANUC M-710iC/45M robot. This system automated the entire sanding process, resulting in a 60-70% productivity increase and consistently higher quality finishes. The automation allowed Gupta Permold to redeploy labor and achieve reliable, independent operation across all shifts.
