Abstract
An apparatus for assembling a hanging file folder and method is provided. A folder blank is received at a crimping station whereat a pair of prefabricated suspension rails are each dispensed from a respective hopper to folder a blank. Each one of the pair of suspension rails is dispensed to respective first and second opposed edges of the folder blank. The apparatus is provided with a folder rail dispensing system including plural pneumatically activated actuators for selectively separating a folder rail from a clip of folder rails held within the hopper and reorienting the folder rail into engagement with the folder blank. The folder rail is moved into engagement with the folder blank so as to be located within a gap defined by a hammer bar and an anvil bar, wherein the hammer and anvil bars crimp the prefabricated folder rail upon the folder blank.
