A method of operating a swaging station includes removably coupling an insert to a distal end of a mandrel and advancing the insert and the distal end of the mandrel into a hollow interior of a tubular body defined by an inner circumferential surface thereof. A die of the swaging station is utilized to deform the tubular body radially inwardly to cause the inner circumferential surface of the tubular body to contact the insert to capture the insert within the tubular body at a desired axial position. The mandrel and die are retracted to result in a tubular component having an integrated insert disposed therein.
