Automated Sanding Systems Built for Woodworking Shops

Automated sanding isn't one machine. It's a system — and the right system depends on what you're sanding, how many parts you run per shift, and where the bottleneck actually lives in your production.

Stolbek builds all of it. Not as separate products from separate companies — as a complete, integrated lineup designed to work together on the same shop floor.

Why Automate Your Sanding?

The sanding station is the hardest position to staff in a woodworking shop. Turnover is high because the work is repetitive, dusty, and physically demanding. Quality varies between operators because pressure and technique change with fatigue. And production waits because sanding can't keep pace with the CNC and edgebander upstream.

Automated sanding fixes the root cause. The machine doesn't call in sick. It doesn't quit after three months. And it sands the last door of the shift identically to the first. For the full business case — labor cost data, ROI calculations, and the case for automation — read Why Automate Sanding.

Stolbek's Complete Automated Sanding Lineup

No other company offers robotic sanding cells, a standalone edge sander, a spray turntable, AND consumables all under one roof. Stolbek is a one-stop automation partner for the entire sanding and finishing workflow.

Cosmo SC

The system most shops start with. The Cosmo SC uses a Yaskawa GP12 industrial robot to sand faces, edges, and corners in one automated cycle. Work envelope of 26" × 54" handles standard cabinet doors and panels. Sands two times faster than a human operator. No programming, no integrators — swipe to start.

Best for:

Cabinet doors, drawer fronts, end panels, and standard-size components.

Cosmo XL

When parts exceed the Cosmo SC's work envelope, the Cosmo XL provides extended reach via a gantry-mounted Yaskawa robot. Same turnkey simplicity — just bigger capacity.

Best for:

Large door panels, oversized cabinet components, furniture panels wider than 54".

Cosmo Slide

The largest and most capable system in the lineup. The Cosmo Slide handles the biggest panels at the highest throughput — with edge and corner sanding included even on oversized parts.

Best for:

Table tops, pantry doors, fridge gables, large furniture panels, high-volume production lines.

Ultimate Edge Sander

The Ultimate Edge Sander runs three grits in series with corner break in a single pass. PLC-driven, touchscreen controls, dual feed speeds. Processes a typical cabinet door in under 30 seconds.

Best for:

MDF and primer doors, dedicated edge sanding and corner breaking, shops that need edge processing at volume.

Spin Bot

The Spin Bot is a pneumatic turntable that automates part rotation during spray finishing. Runs on shop air — no electricity needed. Adjustable speed, virtually maintenance-free.

Best for:

Spray booths, finishing stations, and shops that want a complete sanding-to-finishing automation path.

Consumables & Replacement Parts

Automation doesn't stop at the machine. Stolbek sells sandpaper, sanding pads, filters, and replacement components directly through the online Supplies portal. One vendor for the machine and the consumables — no hunting for compatible parts from third-party suppliers.
