System and method for manufacturing a part

A method for manufacturing a part, the method comprising:

• receiving the part at one or more conveyors operative to move the part through an opening of a gantry, the gantry having a frame structure formed from a first horizontal member and a second horizontal member disposed opposite the first horizontal member, wherein the first horizontal member spans overhead of and spaced apart from the second horizontal member to define the opening, and a pair of vertical sidewall supporting members extending upward from a floor level to interconnect with the first horizontal member and the second horizontal member, wherein the first horizontal member and the second horizontal member are fixed in placed by the pair of vertical sidewall supporting members, and wherein the second horizontal member is elevated above the floor level;
• positioning the part, via the one or more conveyors, over the second horizontal member within access of a first mobile arm of the gantry and a second mobile arm of the gantry, the first and the second mobile arms disposed on the first and the second members, respectively;
• guiding, via at least one sensor, the first and the second mobile arms to one or more areas of the part;
• and
• performing, via the first and the second mobile arms, a manufacturing process on the part at the one or more areas while passing over the second horizontal member, wherein the manufacturing process includes heat treatment, tempering, solution annealing, and/or inspecting.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that adapt at least one processor to:

• receive a part at one or more conveyors operative to move the part through an opening of a gantry, the gantry having a frame structure formed from a first horizontal member and a second horizontal member disposed opposite the first horizontal member, wherein the first horizontal member spans overhead of and spaced apart from the second horizontal member to define the opening, and a pair of vertical sidewall supporting members extending upward from a floor level to interconnect with the first horizonal member and the second horizontal member, wherein the first horizontal member and the second horizontal member are fixed in placed by the pair of vertical sidewall supporting members, and wherein the second horizontal member is elevated above the floor level;
• position the part, via the one or more conveyors, over the second horizontal member within access of a first mobile arm of the gantry and a second mobile arm of the gantry, the first and the second mobile arms disposed on the first and the second members, respectively;
• guide, via at least one sensor, the first and the second mobile arms to one or more areas of the part;
• and
• perform, via the first and the second mobile arms, a manufacturing process on the part at the one or more areas while passing over the second horizontal member, wherein the manufacturing process includes heat treatment, tempering, solution annealing, and/or inspecting.
