ABSTRACT:
A plurality of lengths of window or door framing material which have weatherstrip receiving channels are disposed on a support surface (10). An operator controls (14) a carriage (16) to move from a home position to the opposite end of the support surface. The operator takes free ends of strips (18) of weatherstripping which extend through a pinch roller assembly (22). A portion of each strip near the free end is inserted into the channel manually and the free end is clamped (50, 52) in the carriage. When all the strips are started, the operator changes the differential pressure across the piston of a rodless cylinder (34) returning the carriage to its home position pulling the weatherstripping through the channels. At the home position, the carriage releases the free ends of the weatherstripping and the operator cuts the weatherstripping adjacent the pinch roller assembly. The framing material with inserted weatherstripping is removed from the support surface and the process repeated.
