Brunswick StringPin - String Brake Solenoid

Section 3: Pinsetter Electronics 3-41
String Brake Solenoid
The String Brake Solenoid is located inside the Pin Motion Interface. It controls whether the pin is
allowed to lower to the pindeck. In normal operation the string is allowed to move freely though the
Pin Motion Interface to allow the pin to lower to the pindeck. The solenoid is energized as needed when
the String Brake switch in the switch cluster is actuated forcing the string break to pinch the string
prohibiting it from passing through the Pin Motion Interface. Refer to Figure3-31.
