Claim 17:
18. A method of applying discrete parts to a substrate comprising:
feeding a plurality of discrete parts towards a plurality of transfer puck assemblies rotatably coupled to a drive assembly, each transfer puck assembly including at least one puck segment;
receiving a discrete part of the plurality of discrete parts onto each of the transfer puck assemblies;
rotating each transfer puck assembly such that each transfer puck assembly conveys each discrete part to the substrate;
simultaneously translating the at least one puck segment in an axial direction to profile the discrete part of the plurality of discrete parts; and
applying the discrete part of the plurality of discrete parts to the substrate such that the applied discrete part of the plurality of discrete parts has a profiled configuration.
