Automating an electropolishing process

Q. I am a ME student at Christian Brothers University in Memphis TN. We are looking for ideas on automating an electropolishing line. I was wondering if I could get any suggestions on real world solutions, or possibly even some pictures. I am researching this as part of a creative design process. I appreciate your time.

A. Real-world solutions are called that, Mr. Fitzharris, because they depend upon real-world circumstances. But, in general, the metal finishing industry does offer fairly standardized 'programmed hoists' / 'programmed cranes' to automate the tank-to-tank transfer of racks of work. Good luck!
