A method and system for bonding plastic parts together utilizing a heat-activated adhesive and at least one infrared lamp are disclosed. The system preferably includes first and second infrared lamps for emitting infrared radiation. A first base section supports a first infrared lamp adjacent the first plastic part and a second base section supports the second infrared lamp adjacent the second plastic part. The system also includes a controller coupled to the first and second infrared lamps for controlling power supplied to the first and second infrared lamps so that the first infrared lamp emits infrared radiation which propagates through the first plastic part and is absorbed by the adhesive and the second infrared lamp emits infrared radiation which propagates through the second plastic part and is absorbed by the adhesive for a time sufficient to heat the adhesive to a desired temperature at which the adhesive is activated.

The controller according to claim 8, wherein the one shot cycle control system comprises: a container sensor switch, configured to detect the presence of a container to be filled near the volumetric pocket filler; a one shot valve, having an inlet in fluid communication with the container sensor switch, an outlet in fluid communication with the cycle control cylinder, a pilot connection, and an exhaust port, the one shot valve having a spring-return open condition, and a pilot controlled closed condition; an adjustable flow control valve, in fluid communication with the container sensor switch and the inlet of the one shot valve; and a return tube, having an internal volume, interconnecting the flow control valve to the pilot connection of the one shot valve; and the one shot cycle control system configured such that the one shot valve is open to allow compressed air to flow to the cycle control cylinder to initiate movement of the actuator block when the container sensor switch detects a container, air flowing into the return tube simultaneously therewith, and configured to close the one shot valve after pressure builds up in the return tube, the flow control valve being adjusted relative to the internal volume of the return tube, so as to create an adjustable time delay between (i) actuation of the container sensor switch, and (ii) switching of the one shot valve to the closed position. 10. The controller according to claim 1, further comprising: an air distribution valve bank, comprising a plurality of valves, each of the plurality of valves being associated with (i) one of the plurality of pneumatic switches and (ii) one of the plurality of pneumatically powered components of the volumetric pocket filler; pilot lines, connecting the pneumatic switches to their respective valves of the air distribution valve bank; and air supply lines, configured to connect each of the valves of the air distribution valve bank to an associated pneumatically powered component of the volumetric pocket filler, whereby at least some of the plurality of pneumatic switches provide pneumatic signals solely to switch the respective valves of the air distribution valve bank, and pneumatic power for actuation of the pneumatically powered components of the volumetric pocket filler is provided by the respective valves of the air distribution valve bank. 11. A volumetric pocket filler for measuring and dispensing product into a container, comprising: a pneumatically powered measuring and dispensing apparatus, configured to measure and dispense a discrete quantity of product into a container; and a controller, for controlling the operation of the measuring and dispensing apparatus, comprising: a pneumatically powered actuator, moveable along a motion path; and a pneumatic switch, pneumatically coupled to the measuring and dispensing apparatus, and disposed along the motion path of the pneumatically powered actuator, engageable by the actuator as the actuator moves to actuate the switch, to control air flow to the measuring and dispensing apparatus. 12. The volumetric pocket filler of claim 11, further comprising: a plurality of pneumatically powered components associated with the measuring and dispensing apparatus; and a plurality of pneumatic switches, disposed along the motion path of the actuator, to control air flow to the plurality of pneumatically powered components. 13. The controller according to claim 12, wherein at least some of the plurality of pneumatic switches are directly pneumatically connected to a respective pneumatically powered component of the measuring and dispensing apparatus. 14. The volumetric pocket filler according to claim 12, wherein the pneumatically powered measuring and dispensing apparatus further comprises: a conveyor, configured to move containers to be filled to a filling position adjacent the volumetric pocket filler; an inlet, configured to receive produ
