Abstract:
A method and system for assembling a component within a medical device that includes a support device fixedly positioning the medical device and a weld head capable of being advanced towards a bottom portion of the support device so that the seal member, the front wall, the rear wall and the side walls of the weld head form a gas suite for generating a weld along the component and the device. A test station determines whether the component is in a predetermined working state, and an orientation sensor senses an orientation vector of the component. A first sensor senses a position of the component within an aperture of the device and plots a weld path associated with the component. An installation head obtains the component, advances the component between the test station, the orientation sensor and the first sensor, and through the aperture.
