XLi EDGE Pinspotter 2. Adjust the long connecting rod (see above) to obtain approximately 1/2-inch of clearance between the stabilizing link and the frame (see Figure 4.2-26) when the sweep is in the home position. The clearance must be sufficient to keep the sweep from contacting the frame during sweep operation.
Section 4.2 Machine Adjustments To decrease clearance between the sweep bar and the pin deck, move the end of the telescoping link toward the rear of the pinspotter. Repeat this adjustment on the other side of the machine to maintain both ends of the sweep at the same height above the lane.
XLi EDGE Pinspotter ~1/2 inch Clearance Stabilizing Link SA SB SC SWEEP ARM Figure 4.2-28 Run the Sweep through several cycles, and verify it is stopping at the desired position. A slight amount of overtravel is normal. If the Hold this lever down to Sweep runs considerably past the Home disengage brake.
Section 4.2 Machine Adjustments Because of slight variations between lanes and pinspotter adjustments, it may be necessary to fine tune the position of the Sweep at the 1 and 2 Guard positions. This is done by changing the setpoints in the Guard Set Menu on the Chassis. Refer to the XLi Chassis Manual for specifics on changing Chassis setpoints.
XLi EDGE Pinspotter 4.2.4 Positive Ball Lift The purpose of the Positive Ball Lift (PBL) is to raise the ball high enough to permit a gravity return to the bowler. The ball lift consists of a number of separate assemblies that work together to achieve the desired result.
Section 4.2 Machine Adjustments 4.2.5 Distributor The Distributor transfers pins from the Pin Elevator to the Bin. Through a number of cleverly designed components, it extends and retracts while sweeping from side to side stopping and depositing pins in each of the ten bin positions. For complete information concerning the Distributor, refer to the XLi EDGE Pinspotter Pin Distributor Manual, 400-088-121.
XLi EDGE Pinspotter 4.2.6 Bin and Shuttle Operation & Adjustment 4.2.6.1 Bin and Shuttle Operation The Bin assembly can store two complete sets of pins. The Shuttle, located below the Bin, holds the pins in the Bin until a new setup is required. When the Shuttle Cam Follower, which is attached to the Shuttle, travels into the low point of the Shuttle Cam, located on the Table Drive Shaft, the Shuttle momentarily moves forward allowing a set of pins to drop through from the Bin to the Spotting Cups.
Section 4.2 Machine Adjustments 4.2.6.3 Bin Switch Operation The optical bin switch (BSO) is located behind the #9 pin location on the bin. The #9 bin position is the last one filled when preparing the bin for the next setup of pins. When the 10th pin is delivered to the #9 bin position, it is detected by optical sensor which actuates the bin switch (see Figure 4.2- 33a), and sends a signal to the chassis indicating that 10 pins are ready for a spotting cycle.
XLi EDGE Pinspotter 4.2.7 CUSHION OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS 4.2.7.1 Cushion Shock Absorber Adjustment Note: This adjustment can be made either with the shock absorber mounted in the machine or held in a vise. If the shock absorber is held in a vise, clamp the shock on its end only.
