  • Method of applying weatherstrip to a vehicle body opening
    Patent number: 4620354
    Abstract: A method of using a robot to apply a weatherstrip to a flange extending about an opening in a vehicle body wherein the weatherstrip is coiled on an end effector which in turn unwinds and rolls the weatherstrip onto the flange starting from a predetermined starting position on the flange to a stop position a predetermined distance short of the starting position.The unwound weatherstrip is lifted away from the flange at the stop position and then held and cut-off at a point determined by the above-mentioned predetermined distance so that the weatherstrip being applied to the flange will then abut end-to-end whereafter the cut end of the weatherstrip is retrieved and applied to the flange.
