An applicator mitt assembly system is provided which comprises an applicator mitt tooling 28 including: a tooling body 30 having a mitt-perimeter cutter 32 and weld bead 34 thereon which are shaped to a perimeter of an applicator mitt to be cut; a heating element 38 associated with the tooling body 30, the heating element 38 being shaped so as to match or substantially match a shape of the weld bead 34 so as to create a perimeter weld for the applicator mitt when engaged with the tooling body 30; and an ejector platen 40 which is actuatable relative to the tooling body 30 to eject a cut and welded mitt away from the tooling body 30. The system 10 further comprises a conveyor device (14, fig 3) adapted to feed uncut and unwelded mitt material towards the applicator mitt tooling 28 and a tooling actuator (26, fig 1) adapted to actuate the applicator mitt tooling 28 relative to the conveyor device 14 to allow the mitt-perimeter cutter 32 to cut uncut and unwelded mitt material at the conveyor device 14. A discrete applicator mitt tooling 28, method of assembling an applicator mitt, and welded applicator mitt (72, fig 5) are also provided. |
