What is the process of "Spindle Finishing"?

A mass finishing process in which workpieces are individually mounted on spindles, then lowered into a rotating tub containing the finishing media. In most applications, the spindles rotate at 10 to 3000 rpm, but in some cases the spindles oscillate up and down instead of rotating. The process is sometimes automated for robotic loading and unloading. See "Finishing".
