The sweep then performs it sweeping operation and returns to the guard
position.
At this time, the table receives its spotting signal and the spotting cups
swing downward to set up a complete set of pins.
The table and sweep return to the home position.
The second ball light goes off, and first ball light stays on.
3. Strike Cycle
In the strike cycle, the machine components are in the same condition as
for the first ball.
The ball is rolled and the ball trigger senses the ball and starts the machine
cycle.
The sweep drops to the 1
st
guard position and the time delay starts as in
the first ball cycle.
At the end of the time delay, the camera attempts to detect any pins that
remain standing. Since there are none, it feeds this information to the
chassis which interprets this as a strike.
The first ball light goes off and the strike light comes on.
The sweep clears all of the fallen pins from the lane.
The mask flashes the strike lights, the table begins a spotting operation,
descends, and the cups swing down and deposit a full set of pins.
The table and sweep return to the home position, and the first ball light
comes on.
4. First Ball Foul Cycle
When the ball is rolled and the bowler commits a foul, the foul detector
unit operates and prepares the machine for a foul cycle.
The foul detector unit energizes the foul light on the mask and rings a bell
or buzzer.
The ball passes the ball trigger which senses the ball and starts the machine
cycle.
