This machine uses a conveyor belt on the pit floor to move the pins to a vertical elevator system similar to the ones utilized on the AMF 82 series pinspotters, while the ball exits the pit at the side through a ball door.Brunswick standard of quality. It is characterized by a sweep that descends as soon as the ball enters the pindeck. The GSX is the Brunswicks current state-of-the-art pinsetter.
While humans usually no longer set the pins, a pinchaser, or in slang "pin monkey", is often stationed near the equipment to ensure it is clean and working properly, and to clear minor jams.T11-635201-000 TRANSPORT BELT Use for Brunswick Bowling Machine. Pinsetting machines have largely done away with pinsetting as a manual profession, although a small number of bowling alleys still use human pinsetters. The first mechanical pinsetter was invented by Gottfried (Fred) Schmidt, who sold the patent in 1941 to AMF. Prior to the machine's invention, pinsetters were originally boys or young men ( pin boys) stationed at bowling alleys to manually reset pins and return the ball. Brunswick late model GSX Pinsetters, Pro-AnvilLane Synthetic Lanes, Big Screens with projectors, LED Lightworx LED Lane Lighting, Automatic Bumpers, Sofas, Tables, Frameworx Auto Scoring with overhead Monitors, Many spare parts and accessories included Balls, Shoes, In bowling, a pinsetter or pinspotter is an automated mechanical device that sets bowling pins back in their original positions, returns bowling balls to the front of the alley, and clears fallen pins on the pin deck.
Table (also used in pre-automated manual units, often as their sole mechanical device) – places the pins onto the lane for the next frame, then lifts the remaining pins for the sweep bar to remove fallen pins for the bowler's next roll. In most pinsetters, the sweep bar is triggered as soon as the ball enters the pit, usually via an optical sensor that detects the ball motion. It may also stay lowered throughout the pinsetter operating cycle, to act as the primary physical protective barrier against improperly thrown balls. Sweep bar – removes fallen and leftover pins from the pin deck. For example, bowling-game variants may use different sizes, shapes, and weights of pins and balls, and require equipment specifically made to handle them.Part descriptions common to nearly all pinspotting units include: While many pinsetters have a manual reset button in case the pinsetter does not automatically activate at the correct time, other types have no automatic tracking of the state of the game – especially in candlepin and duckpin bowling sports, which use smaller balls – and are manually activated.The designs of automatic pinsetters vary, depending on each company's hardware implementations, and on a particular bowling sport's playing rules and specifications.
Pin turret (Brunswick A series only) - a form of pin storage used by Brunswick's Model A-series ten-pin pinspotters (A/A2/JetBack) and emulated in part by some other manufacturers. Above-lane ball returns remain in use today as a low-cost alternative for miniature arcade bowling lanes, which use scaled-down balls and pins. The track is normally below the lane, although earlier pinsetters (both mechanical and automatic) have above-lane tracks similar to those of older manual lanes. The ball lift is designed to separate the ball from the fallen pins in the pit, and does not send pins into the ball return track. Ball return – removes the bowler's ball from the lane's pit and returns it to the bowler via the ball return track, located between paired lane beds, back to the ball return unit at the heads of the lanes.
A second arrangement (1853) involved resetting the pins via cords descending from respective pin bottoms to weights beneath the pin deck. One scheme (1851) involved pins with spherical bases that when hit by a ball merely fell over, in place, to be rotated back to a vertical position. Patents to solve perceived problems in pinsetting and ball return, aiming to avoid the need for human pinsetters. A scoring sensor may be integrated into the pinsetter mechanism itself, or using a small camera that captures the image of standing pins.In the mid 1800s, various alternatives to free-standing pins received U.S.
There are three main pinspotter models, the aforementioned 82-30 (no longer produced, but still in common use, ever since the 1960s US bowling boom and the early career of Dick Weber), the 82-70 ( prototyped in 1962, and still in production, since 1963) and the newest versions, the 82-90 and the 82-90XLI, both of which use the 82-70's general mechanical design. They have changed little since the mass-produced 82-30 version. The oldest operational bowling facility in the United States, Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Holler House, opened in September 1908, is one of the few remaining all-manually operated alleys that still uses Brunswick "table-style" manual units.The AMF family of pinspotters, first marketed in 1952 are the first ones used in quantity in the industry. In the decades leading up to the introduction of fully automatic units, semi-automatic pinsetters such as the Brunswick B-1 and B-10, having a manually filled "table" similar to those of fully automatic units and operating much the same as the later units, were used by human pinsetters to speed up manual operation and assure accurate spotting.
Ball and pins travel on a continuously running carpet belt at the bottom of the pit. The cells that have pins in them complete electrical circuits that send scoring information to the display, and turned on one or more of ten "pindicator" lights – pioneered by AMF in May 1953 – in an electrically illuminated triangular framed screen on the pinspotter's masking unit in front of the machine, to identify remaining pins.After the table lifts the remaining pins, the machine runs the sweep, clearing dead pins from the pin deck, then returns to the guard position. Then the table descends and the respot cells close around each neck of the standing pins. This activates the machine, which lowers the sweep to the guard position. After the bowler rolls their ball, and knocking down the pins, the ball strikes the pit cushion block. All operate generally the same way with small improvements.The 82-30's operation and mechanics, having been significantly developed from AMF's pioneering 82-10 experimental model, which depended much on the use of suction to hold the pins in a double-sided spotting table for both spotting remaining pins and setup of new racks of pins, are quite different from the Model A, A-2 and JetBack units from Brunswick (which the AMF 82-10 pre-dated by almost a decade), with differing sweep and table designs, and especially in how the pins are handled for storage, after they got to the top of the machinery.
After the table returns to its upper position, the sweep also lifts, and the machine shuts down to await the next ball. In the 82-30, its semi-cylindrical "spotting cup" bins are part of the visible spotting table (unique to the design of the 82-30) suspended below the table's frame, each at a roughly a 45° angle with each "cup" inclined, pin-base-forward, in front of each spotting cell, and clearly visible to the bowler whenever the table approaches its lowermost position. The pins travel under the cushion into the ring-shaped, revolving circular pin elevator, at the rear center of the unit, which brings the pins up to a "distributor arm" that travels laterally as well as forward and back (on the 82-30, an "arrowhead"-planform guide rail atop the spotting table governs the distributor's head piece movements) over the table as seen here, to deliver the pins to the corresponding bins or "spotting cups" as known in the 82-30's factory manuals, awaiting the next spotting cycle.
