AN APPARATUS (100) AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A LENS-FORMING STRUCTURE, THE STRUCTURE HAVING A FRONT MOLD (40), A REAR MOLD (50), AND A GASKET (20) DEFINING AN AXIALLY EXTENDING BORE (30), INCLUDING A COLLET (120) FOR SUPPORTING THE GASKET (20) SO THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THE FRONT MOLD (40) OR THE REAR MOLD (50) ARE INSERTABLE INTO THE BORE (30) THEREOF, A ROBOTIC ARM (160) FOR INSERTING THE FRONT MOLD (40) INTO THE BORE (30) OF THE GASKET (20), AND A PISTON (220) FOR INSERTING THE REAR MOLD (50) INTO THE BORE (30) OF THE GASKET (20). THE PISTON (220) AXIALLY MOVES WITHIN THE BORE (30) OF THE GASKET (20) A SELECTED ONE OF THE FRONT MOLD (40) OR THE REAR MOLD (50) RELATIVE TOT THE OTHER MOLD TO A DESIRED ONE OF A PLURALITY OF AXIAL SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN THE MOLDS. ALTERNATIVELY, THE ROBOTIC ARM (160) CAN MOVE THE SELECTED MOLD RELATIVE TO THE OTHER MOLD. (FIGURE 5)
