2097703 9210635 PCTABS00013 A method of filling a spacer frame is described. A corner of the frame is positioned in relation to a positioning pin (21), whereas a surface (79) of two of the sides of the frame is positioned in relation to driving pins (40) which have a contact surface extending in a plane which is tangent to the circumference of the positioning pin (21). The driving pins form a part of or are combined with separated working units (6) which comprise a pierce needle (32) for forming an opening (82), a filling nozzle and a hammer for re-closing the opening (82). The opening (82) is formed in a lateral surface (85) of the profile of the frame and in the vicinity of an adjacent surface (79). When the frame is positioned correctly in relation to the pins (21 and 40) all three working tools can thereby be activated while the frame is maintained in a groove (41) in each working unit. Thus, there is no risk that the frame is incorrectly positioned between the different working sequences. Nor is there any risk that the supplied drying agent leaks as the frame is re-closed in an effective way by an outwards deformed part (80) of the adjacent lateral surface (79). By means of the hammer (68) this part is directed inwards to a position (81) where the opening (82) is re-closed.
