description A system and method for manufacturing and/or reconditioning side frames and bolsters for railway cars includes at least one robot adapted to access positions along the length of the part. A map of the part dimensions, which may be obtained by a probe or scanner on the robot(s), allows a processor to determine where welding and machining are required to meet certain dimensional tolerances, leveraging novel reference surfaces on the part which cannot be leveraged using conventional gauges. The robot(s) may locate and mount welding and material removal tools to carry out the welding and material removal operations determined by the processor. La presente invención se refiere a un sistema y método para manufacturar y/o reacondicionar soportes y armazones laterales de vagones de ferrocarril que incluye al menos un robot adaptado para acceder a posiciones a lo largo de la longitud de la pieza; un mapa de las dimensiones de la pieza, que se puede obtener por una sonda o un escáner en los robots, permite que un procesador determine dónde se requiere la soldadura y mecanizado para cumplir con ciertas tolerancias dimensionales, aprovechando nuevas superficies de referencia en la pieza que no pueden ser aprovechadas usando medidores convencionales; los robots pueden ubicar y montar herramientas de soldadura y remoción de material para realizar las operaciones de soldadura y remoción de material determinadas por el procesador.
