An apparatus for welding a plastic component to a body's aperture includes a first heating head mounted to a frame element for heating the component, a gripper for gripping the component and for mounting the component to the body's aperture, a heater arm having a second heating head mounted thereto for heating the aperture, and an actuator for mounting both the heater arm and the gripper to the frame element for alternating between a heating position wherein ia) the gripper is generally aligned with the first heating head for abutment therewith, while ib) the second heating head is positioned for heating the aperture, and a work position wherein ii) the gripper is generally aligned with the aperture for mounting the component to the aperture for welding therewith: The gripper is mounted to the actuator via a cylinder arm provided with a collision monitor to detect inadvertent collision.

The separation tool allows separation of a horizontal pile of recipients into sub-piles of recipients, the first or last recipient of each sub-pile have been previously marked with ultra-violet detectable ink. The tool comprises a frame; a sensor mounted to the frame for detecting the last recipient of a current sub-pile or the first recipient of the next sub-pile upstream therefrom, which ever has been previously marked, and a manipulator arm provided with a fixed finger assembly for holding the recipients upstream from the last recipient of the current sub-pile and a separation finger for creating a gap between the held recipients and those from the current sub-pile.

A gripping and positioning tool to properly position elements into an open mold of a molding machine is described herein. The tool includes a base that receives the element and that may be moved along three orthogonal axes and tilted in two directions with respect to a fixed plate mounted to an assembly. Furthermore, the tool includes graduated scales to determine the degree of tilting, and fasteners to lock in place the gripping and positioning tool once the proper adjustment for positioning is made.
