The special thing about Sanction Technology is that this
total pattern amount can be confirmed by running the
pattern and performing a PATTERN VOLUME TEST. This
step is the most important element in the PVP (Process
Verification Procedure) and you should perform it
whenever conditioning lanes for competition. Running the
test 3 or 4 times should be enough to convince anybody of
the machine's accuracy and repeatability.
NOTE: Any time you run a different program you should calculate the total boards and
volume.
By calculating your program's total oil volume and double-checking the math, you can use
the reading you get to check your volume per board adjustment. When the math is correct,
it will tell you if the pump needs adjusting. The KOSI software provides a Total tab in the
Advanced Designer screen that allow you to see the forward, reverse, and total oil volumes
and boards crossed so you do not have to do the math. PLEASE SEE CHAPTER 7 FOR KOSI
FLEX.
Having the total output for the program will ensure that the program values are entered
correctly. It will also help you understand each change you make. Although it is not
information that will be used daily, it is a way of explaining a lane condition in exact terms.
These measurements can be written down and duplicated in the future. In other words, it
defines a lane condition so that it can be recognized and explained to anyone, much like any
other specification of the bowling lane such as its length and width.
All adjustments to the oil pattern are exact and repeatable with Sanction Technology.
