Let's face it: manual sanding is the woodworking equivalent of being told to clean the attic with a toothbrush. It’s grueling, monotonous, and it aggressively eats into your profit margins and overtime budget. Why spend another precious hour breathing dust and battling grain patterns when you could be moving on to the rewarding part of the build?
As companies face increasing pressure to optimize production, address skilled labor shortages, and maintain the highest quality standards, Cohesive Robotics provides smart, automated solutions that meet these challenges head-on.
We're supercharging robotic sanding in these top woodworking industries:
Increase throughput and improve quality with our smart robotic workcells.

In the woodworking world, we know that the way something looks is essential to meeting the needs of your clients. Our Smart Finishing™️ Robotic Workcell is designed with the high-mix manufacturer in mind. Our integrated vision system and proprietary AI software scans, understands, and automatically programs and operates the robot for whatever part, or batch of parts, is present. We make automation easier than ever with the pre-configured Woodworker Edition.
Our Argus OS-powered solutions support a variety of hardware configurations to meet the precision and throughput needs of your application. Our AI-powered scanning technology can achieve sub-millimeter accuracy (typically 0.1 mm), while force control for our finishing solutions can achieve resolutions under 1 N (0.225 lbf). That's much more accurate than a human operator can discern, and more consistent from the beginning to the end of a shift.
When performed manually, wood sanding operations can be hazardous to employee health, especially without the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). This can include long-term effects due to dust inhalation and vibrational impact. Advanced automation and robots protect workers from these hazards while offering more consistent quality, higher production output levels, and more predictable consumables material usage.
