A method for bonding includes positioning a bonding strip adjacent a sole first bond head, the bonding strip having a plurality of strip units, and bonding, with only the first bond head, a first number of the plurality of strip units. The method further includes transporting the bonding strip from the first bond head and positioning the bonding strip adjacent a sole second bond head, and bonding, with only the second bond head, a remaining number of the plurality of strip units on the bonding strip. In one embodiment, the method also includes heating at least one of the plurality of strip units prior to bonding the bonding strip. In one embodiment, the method also includes clamping, with a sole clamp, the bonding strip, thereby limiting warpage of the bonding strip.
