Hairline Finishing for Stainless Steels

Dear sir,
I need hairline finishing for stainless steel frames for furniture. We are using scotch brite for existing jobs. We need a lot of manpower for this job. Can any one suggest anyway of automation for this job?

First of two simultaneous responses --

You left out too much. Are the frames assembled or in raw stock. Are they nearly flat or do they have contours. Search the web for "labor savers" + "hairline"

I think you answered your own question. Automation! Suggest you look into a pass through system similar to roll forming.
