3.1.3 Five Basic Pinspotter Cycles
The XLi EDGE Pinspotter employs five basic cycles:
1. First Ball Cycle
2. Second Ball Cycle
3. Strike Cycle
4. First Ball Foul Cycle
5. Second Ball Foul Cycle
1. First Ball Cycle
The machine is ready for the first ball with first ball light on.
After the bowler rolls the ball, the ball trigger detects the ball passing,
signals the chassis, and starts the machine cycle.
The sweep runs to its down or 1
st
guard position. It remains here until
called upon to sweep the pins into the pit.
A time delay begins, and at its conclusion the camera detects the pins that
remain standing, relays this information to the chassis, and then the table
starts its first descent.
Standing pins are mechanically gripped and raised to a height sufficient for
the sweep to pass under them and clear the lane of fallen pins.
The sweep begins its run-through, pushes fallen pins into the pit, and
returns to the guard position where it stops.
The table respots the pins that weren’t knocked down by the action of the
first ball, and the table and sweep return to the home position.
The second ball light comes on.
2. Second Ball Cycle
When the second ball is rolled, the ball trigger senses the ball and starts
the machine cycle.
The sweep drops to the 1
st
guard position. It remains here until called upon
to sweep the pins into the pit.
A time delay begins, and at its conclusion the camera detects the pins that
remain standing and relays this information to the chassis.
