• a second support head opposing said first support head, said second support head having a top tool head and a bottom tool head;
• an inner conveyor system for moving a vinyl window frame in and out of a first and second cleaning position for positioning the window frame for weld seam cleaning operations on the forward end of the window frame and on the back end of the window frame, respectively, said cleaning positions being located between said first and second support heads, wherein each of said tool heads have holding means for including a plurality of tools for cleaning the frame at a 45.degree. angle along the corners of the forward end of the window frame and for machining the frame at a 90.degree. angle at the forward end of the window frame in the first cleaning position, and for cleaning the frame at a 45.degree. angle along the corners of the back end of the window frame and for machining the frame at a 90.degree. angle at the back end of the window frame in the second cleaning position;
• and
• clamping means for holding the vinyl window frame in said first and second cleaning positions during cleaning and machining of the window frame.

A vinyl weld seam cleaner apparatus for cleaning the weld seam of a rectangular vinyl window frame having four 90.degree. corners formed from a front end, a back end and sides of the frame, the frame having a top and a bottom, said apparatus comprising:

• a fixed support head having a top machine head and a bottom machine head, a top tool head being mounted in said top machine head of said fixed support head and a bottom tool head is mounted in said bottom machine head of said fixed support head;
• a movable support head opposing said fixed support head, said movable support head being movable in a horizontal direction relative to said fixed support head for accommodating window frames of various widths, said movable support head having a top machine head and a bottom machine head, a top tool head being mounted in said top machine head of said movable support head and a bottom tool head being mounted in said bottom machine head of said movable support head, said top tool heads of said fixed and movable support head perform cleaning operations on the top of a window frame and said bottom tool heads of said fixed and movable support head performs cleaning operations on the bottom of the vwindow frame, wherein each of said machine heads of said fixed and movable support heads are movable in one direction, and each of said bottom and top tool heads of said fixed and movable support heads are movable in two directions causing said tool heads to move in three dimensions;
• an inner conveyor system for moving the vinyl window frame into and out of a first and second cleaning position, said first cleaning position being positioned for performing operations on the forward end of the window frame and said second cleaning position being positioned for performing operations on the back end of the window frame, said cleaning positions being between said fixed and movable support heads, wherein each of said tool heads include at least one tool for cleaning the frame at a 45.degree. angle along the corners of the forward end of the window frame and for machining the frame at a 90.degree. angle at the forward end of the window frame in the first cleaning position, and for cleaning the frame at a 45.degree. angle along the corners of the back end of the window frame and for machining the frame at a 90.degree. angle at the back end of the window frame in the second cleaning position, wherein tools that perform 45.degree. operations do so by interpolation;
• and
• clamping means for holding the vinyl window frame in said first and second cleaning positions during cleaning and machining of the window frame.
