HIGHWAY 66 FUNDAMENTALS
Understanding how the System Works
When the pinsetter is turned on, it will perform a calibration cycle. Then the pins are set
on the lane and the pinsetter is placed in a ball one situation. The bowler rolls the ball
which passes through the ball detector's infrared beam of light thus sending a signal to the
pinsetter control box. The ball knocks down some pins which fall into the pit. The floor
of the pit is angled so that the ball moves toward the rear ball lift.
Each pin has a string attached to its head which activates its pin detection wheel when the
pin is knocked down. The pin detection wheel, in turn, advises the pinsetter control box
that the pin has been knocked down.
After a pre-determined delay, the TMS power box will activate the DC drive in order to
move the drawbar to the rear of the pinsetter. The shield is lowered as the drawbar picks
up the pins from the pit and secures them in the stabilizer. The drawbar then reaches the
rear of the pinsetter, which indicates to the TMS power box that the drawbar is at the end
of its cycle and that no strings are tangled. After a short pause at that position the DC
drive will move the drawbar forward the pinsetter and at the same time lowering the pins
Note
If the strings are tangled, the drawbar will not be able to reach the rear of the pinsetter.
This will order the TMS power box to activate the pinsetter's untangling routine, which
will cause the pinsetter to lower and raise the pins in different manners until the strings
are untangled or if the numbers of attempts reach 8.
