As defined from the most to least frequently used, the areas include: Area 1 — Floor Area 2 — Ball accelerator platform Area 3 — Standing platforms between or at the front of the pinsetter Area 4 — On the pindeck…

• Page 22
  Area 1 — Floor The most frequent area used for operating and maintaining the pinsetter is the floor area behind the pinsetters. During operation, all machine activity can be observed from this location. Additionally, interlocked doors provide access to the ball accelerator, elevator, shark assembly, ball cushion, transport band and the back portion of the distributor allowing the mechanic to easily correct a machine stop or perform maintenance.
• Page 23
  Area 2 — Ball Accelerator Platform On occasion there may be a pinsetter stop or maintenance that cannot be done from work area 1. The areas involved may include the top of the elevator or the back to mid position of the distributor. Access to these locations can be obtained standing on the ladder or the platform on top of the ball accelerator’s ball box.

• Page 24: Area 3 — Standing Platforms

  Area 3 — Standing Platforms Infrequently, a pinsetter stop or maintenance requires access further into the machine. For situations that cannot be performed from work areas 1 or 2, Area 3 — Standing Platforms can be used. Refer to the figure titled Pinsetter Work Area 3 — Standing Platforms. This area may be used for such activities as: 1.

  Section 1: Operations OVERVIEW This manual is designed to help you service, repair, and perform preventive maintenance on the GS- Series Pinsetters in a safe and efficient manner. Prior to working on one of these pinsetters, you should read the safety informaton and be familiar with the Safety Guidelines located at the beginning of the manual.

• Page 38: Pinsetter Description

  PINSETTER DESCRIPTION The GS-Series Pinsetters consist of eight subassemblies: • Ball Pit • Ball Accelerator • Pin Elevator • Distributor • Setting Table • Sweep Wagon • Drive Frame • Electronic Control Ball Pit The primary purpose of this area is to handle the initial impact of the pins and ball, separate them from each other, and direct them to the proper part of the machine.

• Page 39: Ball Cushion

  Ball Cushion The ball cushion is designed to absorb the impact of the ball and guide it to the ball accelerator’s ball door. A shock absorber mounted to a pivoting cushion frame helps absorb the ball impact and return the cushion to its original forward position. Rubber facing and four protector or impact strips located on the bottom cushion board protect the ball and board from damage.

• Page 40: Transport Band

  Transport Band The Transport Band (T-band) brings the pins to the elevator assembly and holds the ball against the ball cushion while it is guided to the ball accelerator. The T-band consists of a large belt mounted around two rollers. The front roller is a fixed position roller that sits in slots of the side frames. The rear roller is an adjustable roller that is used to tension the belt and provide tracking so that the belt does not “drift”…

• Page 41: Ball Accelerator

  Ball Accelerator Mounted between the two pinsetters of a lane pair is a ball accelerator that returns balls to the bowler from either lane. The ball enters the accelerator from the transport band through a ball door. A large flat belt mounted on two drums grips the ball and propels it forward to the ball lift. Refer to Figure 1-4 Ball Accelerator.

• Page 42
  To prevent balls from opposite lanes from entering the accelerator at the same time and to prevent pins from entering the accelerator, ball doors and ball door locking assemblies are incorporated into the ball accelerator. See Figure 1-5. BALL DOOR LOCKING SOLENOID BALL DOOR…

• Page 43: Pin Elevator

  Pin Elevator The pin elevator receives the pins from the transport band and lifts them up to the distributor. Two pin feed deflectors located at the bottom of the elevator funnel the pins into the elevator opening. As the pins enter the elevator they compete for a spot on one of 14 shovels that are continuously rotated around the elevator by two parallel chains.

• Page 46: Distributor

  Distributor The distributor moves the pins from the elevator and places them in position so the setting table can receive them. The distributor consists of a shark assembly, four pin feed lanes, two cross over lanes, 10 pin stations, and right/left overflow chutes. See Figure 1-8. Figure 1-8.

• Page 47
  A pincount switch on the top of the elevator monitors pins leaving the elevator. See Figure 1-9. Using this switch signal, the electronics sends voltage to the shark solenoid as needed so that the shark fin will force the pin to the right side of the distributor. The pins will alternate between the left and the right side of the distributor in the following repeating pattern;…
• Page 48
  The pins travel down the distributor lanes until an empty pin station is found. See Figure 1-10. At the empty pin station, the station’s ejector flap sticking up between the two round belts will force the pin off the belts and onto the pin station’s retaining bow. The weight of the pin forces the retaining bow down and in turn lowers the ejector flap.
• Page 49
  A pin that does not find an empty pin station is returned to the transport band through the overflow chute located at the end of each outside distributor lane. See Figure 1-11. Figure 1-11.

• Page 50: Setting Table

  SETTING TABLE The setting table is a multipurpose assembly. It must: A. Detect standing pins after a ball has been rolled. Figure 1-12. B. Pick up standing pins to allow the sweep to clear the dead wood. Figure 1-13. C. Receive pins from the distributor and set them on the lane for a new frame. Figure 1-14. Figure 1-12.

• Page 51
  Figure 1-14 Setting New Pins 1-17 Section 1: Operations Section Rev. February 2009…
• Page 52
  The setting table contains ten pin holders mounted on four swing shafts. The pin holders are held in the horizontal position by a latch assembly located at the back left side of the setting table. The holders remain horizontal when the setting table is loading pins, waiting for a ball, or when it is detecting pins. The only time the pin holders are rotated to a vertical position is when the table lowers all the way down to set new pins onto the lane surface.
• Page 53
  Movement of the setting table is controlled by a motor and crank arm/chain drive assembly. Refer to Figure 1-16. As the crank arm rotates, the chain is let out and gravity causes the table to lower. Figure 1-16. Right-Hand Table Rack (1) SPROCKET TS-2 SWITCH “OOR”…
• Page 54
  The pinholders are “locked” in their horizontal position with a latch located near the 7 pin. If new pins are needed, a solenoid attached to the stroke limiter plate is energized. Energizing the solenoid causes the stroke limit plate to pivot out of the way of the T-Stop so that the table can lower to the pin deck. It also turns the left square shaft releasing the pinholder latch.
• Page 55
  After the pins have been set onto the pin deck, a roller near the rear swing shaft is forced down by the TS1 Jam Assembly Arm, overpowering the spring, causing the pin holders to rotate back to the horizontal position. Refer to Figure 1-20. The latch will keep them in this position until the stroke limiter solenoid is energized again.
• Page 56
  To pick up standing pins, the setting table uses spotting tongs. The 10 spotting tongs are timed together and are driven through a series of gears and toothed racks by the machine’s right square shaft. Refer to Figure 1-21. REAR SPOTTING TONG CLOSED REAR…
• Page 57
  This square shaft rotates when the spotting tong solenoid energizes to engage a gear clutch with the table drive. When the table motor is turning counterclockwise the square shaft will also turn couterclockwise to close the spotting tongs. When the tongs are closed their center pivot links lock the tongs in the closed position to prevent pins from dropping from the table when raised for clearing deadwood.
• Page 58
  There are two types of spotting tongs: Front facing — Pin 1, 4, 5, and 6 Rear facing — Pin 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 Figure 1-23. Spotting Tongs. (1) CONNECTING LINKS IN LOCKED SPOTTING TONGS — CLOSED DAMPER POSITION (4) SPOTTING TONGS — FULLY OPEN…

• Page 59: Sweep Wagon

  Sweep Wagon The sweep wagon assembly has three functions: 1. Upon ball detection or manual triggering (SET or RESET), the sweep is lowered immediately to prevent pins from rolling forward onto the lane. 2. To guard the table as it lowers to detect or set new pins. 3.

  Once the sweep is down in the guarding position, the sweep motor turns the sweep shaft clockwise. This rotates the sweep crank arms to drive the sweep shaft rearward then forward. Six guide rollers mounted on the sweep wagon, ensure that the wagon rolls smoothly and squarely in its sweep path. When the cam on the right side crank arm activates the Sweep Motor (SM) switch, the sweep motor shuts off and its internal brake engages to prevent the motor from coasting.
• Page 62
  It is important to note that the tipper of the release assembly can only come in contact with the roller when the table motor is turning clockwise. Refer to Figures 1-27 and 1-28. PIVOT BEARING TABLE SHAFT PIVOT LINK TIPPER ROLLER TIPPER Figure 1-27.

  Section 2: Electrical — Switches, Solenoids and Motors SWITCHES The GS-X pinsetters contain numerous function and safety switches that control and protect the pinsetter and provide safety for the operator. When a function switch is not working properly or if it is not actuated as expected, the machine will shut off and display an error code describing the failure.

• Page 70: Switches «A», «B», «C» And «D

  Switches “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” These switches are mounted on a switch cluster housing located inside the right frame of the pinsetter. The primary function of the switch cluster is to inform the Pinsetter CPU of the position of the setting table.

• Page 71: Elevator Control Switch (Ec)

  Elevator Control Switch (EC) The EC switch is located on the left rear frame of the elevator. It is pulsed by rollers on the pin shovel shaft as the shovels rotate. If it is not pulsed at least once every six seconds when the distributor motor is running, the Pinsetter CPU determines that the elevator is either jammed, a drive belt is slipping, or some other defect or problem in the distributor or transport band is preventing the elevator from moving.

• Page 72: Switch «G

  Switch “G” This “G” switch is located under the attenuator at the front left side of the pinsetter. This switch is actuated by the attenuator when the sweep is all the way down in the guarding position. The switch must be actuated before the table can be lowered. During operation, the sweep release solenoid energizes upon ball detection.

• Page 73: Mechanic’s Rear Control Switches (Standard On Pinsetters)

  3. Stop/Run — This switch turns off the machine. It must be in the stop position before entering the machine for service. NOTE: When the pinsetter is connected to Brunswick Frameworx scoring the reset switch will act like the set switch when the scorer is assigned to open play mode.

• Page 74: Mechanic’s Remote Display (Optional On Pinsetters)

  Mechanic’s Remote Display (Optional on pinsetters) The mechanic’s remote display box is mounted the back of left lane elevator for pinsetters equipped with the advanced guards. The box replaces the mechanic’s control box and the display of the Nexgen electronics. The remote display box contains a display and keypad that gives the mechanic operational control of the Nexgen electronics and shows the pinsetters’…

• Page 75: Out-Of-Range Switch

  The mechanic must then turn the Stop/Run switch off, clear any deadwood from the pin deck, and then turn the Stop/Run switch back to the Run position. If the pinsetter is connected to Brunswick scoring a score correction must also be entered before the pinsetter will turn on NOTE: The out of range function can be disable through the scoring system.

• Page 76: Pin Holder Switches

  Pin Holder Switches The setting table has ten pin holders. Each pin holder has a single switch that is used for two purposes. The switch will be actuated by the pin dropping into the holder from a pin station. The switch can also be activated by the pin detector plate being pushed up during detection of a standing pin.

• Page 77: St Switch

  ST Switch The “ST” switch is located on the right side of the setting table. A cam on the toothed rack that drives the spotting tongs will activate (close) the switch when the spotting tongs are open. This information used to determine if it is OK to lower the setting table at the start of a cycle. Figure 2-9.

• Page 78: Sweep Motor Switch (Sm)

  Sweep Motor Switch (SM) The “SM” switch is mounted on the front right side of the pinsetter. A cam mounted on the sweep crank arm actuates (closes) the switch when the sweep wagon is all the way forward. Activating this switch turns the sweep motor off allowing the motor’s internal brake to stop the sweep.

• Page 79: Ts-1 Switch

  TS-1 Switch The “TS-1” table jam switch is mounted on the back left side of the pinsetter frame near the 7 pin. The switch is activated only when the pin holders are unable to return to the horizontal position after setting new pins.

• Page 80: Ts-2 Switch

  TS-2 Switch This table jam switch is mounted inside the right side frame near the switch cluster. This is a jam switch that is activated only when the table is not able to return to its up home position. If a pin or broken part becomes wedged between the top of the setting table and the bottom of the distributor, the table is prohibited from rising.

• Page 81: Pin Count Switch

  Pin Count Switch This switch is mounted on the top of the Elevator. The switch is positioned to count each pin as it leaves the elevator and enters the shark assembly. The switch information is sent to the pinsetter electronics where it is used to determine when to energize the shark solenoid.

• Page 82: Emergency Off Switches (Base And Fixed Guards)

  Emergency Off Switches (Base and Fixed Guards) The Base and Fixed guard packages contain three emergency stop switches that allow the operator to quickly shut down power to both pinsetters on a lane pair by removing main power to the Nexgen box. Once an emergency stop switch has been pressed, the pinsetters cannot be restarted until the switch is returned to its closed position by twisting its actuator button and the Nexgen power fail (PF) error code is cleared using a Stop/Run switch located on the rear mechanic’s box or Nexgen display.

• Page 83: Solenoids

  SOLENOIDS Two types of solenoids are used on the GS-Series pinsetter. The black colored solenoids are intermittent duty type solenoids. This type of solenoid is pulsed only for a brief amount of time. The red colored solenoids are continuous duty type solenoids. This type of solenoid can be energized for up to 90 seconds at a time, if necessary.

  Ball Door Solenoid The ball door solenoid is used to prevent the ball door from opening for a period of three or four seconds after ball detection. Energizing the solenoid lowers the locking bolt so that it will block the door lever even if the ball door button is pressed.

• Page 86: Sweep Release Solenoid

  Sweep Release Solenoid The purpose of the sweep release solenoid is to actuate the sweep release mechanism. This allows the tipper to pivot and the sweep wagon to drop from its up “home” position to the guarding position. The solenoid is energized immediately when a ball passes through the ball detector’s beam or someone presses a “set”…

• Page 87: Stroke Limiter Solenoid

  Stroke Limiter Solenoid The purpose of the stroke limiter solenoid is to allow the table to lower to the pindeck to set new pins. When energized it briefly pulls the stroke limiter plate away from the table tube allowing the T-stop to clear the stroke limiter plate and the table to lower fully to the pin deck.

• Page 88: Spotting Tong Solenoid

  Spotting Tong Solenoid The spotting tong solenoid engages a gear clutch assembly with the table drive to close or reopen the spotting tongs depending on which direction the table motor is turning. The gear clutch assembly rotates a spindle shaft and through a helical gear drives the right-hand square shaft. When the main table drive shaft and right-hand square shaft are turning counterclockwise, the spotting tongs close.

• Page 89: Pin Holder Solenoids

  Pin Holder Solenoids The red solenoid on the pin holder energizes to open the grippers allowing pins in or out of the holder. When the table is on its way up to the home position, the grippers can open to load the pins. When the table is down, the grippers open to release a new set of pins onto the pin deck.

• Page 90: Shark Solenoid

  Shark Solenoid This solenoid is used to control the Shark Fin guide. Energizing the solenoid will cause the pin guide to flip left to direct the pin onto the right side of the distributor. When the solenoid is de-energized, a return spring pulls the guide back to it original position deflecting pins to the left distributor lanes.

• Page 101: Bottom (All Nexgen Controller Boxes)

  Bottom (All Nexgen Controller Boxes) Mounted on the bottom of the Nexgen box are two transformers. The transformers use an incoming 230 Volt or 208 Voltage from the High Voltage PCB and reduces it to 26VAC. This voltage is then sent to the CPU PCB (J11) where it is used to create the DC voltages for pinsetter operation. How the transformers connect to the High Voltage PCB depends on the operating voltage of the pinsetter.

• Page 104: I/O Pcbs

  I/O PCBs I/O is an acronym for input and output. These printed circuit boards receive the incoming information from the pinsetter and pass it to the CPU. The CPU then makes an appropriate decision and sends its commands back to the pinsetter through the I/O printed circuit board. Surge protection located on the PCB protects the CPU from damage.

• Page 105: Cpu Pcb

  CPU PCB CPU is an acronym for Central Processing Unit. This board accepts all the information from both I/O PCBs, and processes it to determine what each pinsetter must do. It then controls the pinsetter solenoids through the I/O PCBs and motors through the High Voltage PCB. The CPU has a memory that retains the status and frame count of each pinsetter.

• Page 157: Cycles

  CYCLES There are five first ball cycles and three second ball cycles. Additional cycles are available if a scoring system is connected to the pinsetters. The first ball cycles are: 1. First Ball — Strike 2. First Ball — Standing Pins 3.

• Page 158
  Figure 4-5 Pinsetter Cycles Section 4: Pinsetter Cycles Section Rev. February 2009…

• Page 159: First Ball — Strike Cycle

  First Ball — Strike Cycle A strike cycle results when a bowler is successful in knocking down all the pins with the first ball. The pinsetter will sweep any deadwood into the pit and set ten new pins onto the pin deck. The following is a complete description of this cycle.

• Page 160
  4. As the table lowers “OOR” switch closes to indicate the table entered the detection area. 5. The table will make a short stroke as it stops on the stroke limiter plate. 6. At switch “B”, the Pinsetter CPU reads the pin holder switches and determines that no pins were left standing.

• Page 161: First Ball — Standing Pins Cycle

  First Ball — Standing Pins Cycle This cycle results when the bowler knocks down up to nine pins. During this cycle the pinsetter lifts the pins left standing on the pin deck, the sweep clears the deadwood into the pit and the pins are set back down on the pin deck.

• Page 162
  4. As the table lowers “OOR” switch closes to indicate the table entered the detection area. 5. The table will make a short stroke as it stops on the stroke limiter plate. 6. At switch “B” the Pinsetter CPU will read the pinholder switches and determine one or more pins are standing.

• Page 163: First Ball — Short Cycle

  First Ball — Short Cycle A short cycle occurs in the following situations after rolling the first ball. A. The 7 pin was the only pin knocked down by a ball. B. The 10 pin was the only pin knocked down by a ball. C.

• Page 164
  1. A ball detect occurs. 2. The sweep release solenoid energizes to lower the sweep into the guard position actuating the “G” switch.

• Page 165: First Ball — Out-Of-Range

  First Ball — Out-of-Range During the course of bowling, a ball may strike the pins in such a way that a pin slides out of its normal position but does not fall down. If the pin moves far enough, the bottom of the table will lower on top of the pin.

• Page 166
  1. A ball detect occurs. 2. In response to the ball detect signal the sweep release solenoid energizes to lower the sweep into the guard position actuating switch “G”. The ball door solenoid energizes, locking the ball door for three seconds. 3.

• Page 167: First Ball — Foul

  First Ball — Foul When a bowler steps on the foul line, a beam of light over the foul line is interrupted. A signal is then sent to the Pinsetter CPU. The pinsetter must sweep all pins and set ten new pins. The bowler receives zero pins for the first ball and has only one chance to knock down the new pins.

• Page 168
  4. The table motor runs counterclockwise. The cam on the table shaft will leave switch “A” moving toward switch “B”. 5. As the table lowers “OOR” switch closes to indicate the table entered the detection area. 6. The table will make a short stroke as it stops on the stroke limiter plate. 7.

• Page 169: Second Ball — Single Detect

  Second Ball — Single Detect Second ball — single detect is a second ball cycle used when the pinsetter is not used to provide scorer information to an automatic scorer. This cycle would be used when automatic scorers are not present or when an external device is used to provide pinfall to the automatic scoring system.

• Page 170
  4. When all ten pin holders are loaded with pins, the table motor runs clockwise rotating the cam from switch “A” to switch “D.” 5. As the table starts to lower, the stroke limiter solenoid is energized causing the stroke limiter plate to be pulled away from the T-stop.

• Page 171: Second Ball — Double Detect

  Second Ball — Double Detect This cycle is used when the GS-Series Pinsetter must provide scoring for Brunswick , Frameworx, AS-90 and AS-K, or Classic automatic scoring systems. The term Double Detect simply means that the table will lower to detect pins on both 1st and 2nd ball cycles. Refer to Figure 4-12.

• Page 172
  6. At switch “B”, the Pinsetter CPU will read the pin holder switches. The Pinsetter CPU sends pinfall information to the automatic scorer. 7. The cam passes switch “C” with no action. 8. As the cam actuates switch “D”, the pin holder solenoids energize to open the grippers. 9.

• Page 173: Second Ball — Out-Of-Range

  Second Ball — Out-of-Range A second ball out-of-range occurs only when the Pinsetter CPU is set up for double detection. The table will come down on top of an off spot pin as happens in a first ball out-of-range. This causes the pinsetter to stop and requires the mechanic to restart the pinsetter.

• Page 174
  4. The table lowers on top of the off spot pin stopping the table before it can close the “OOR” switch. 5. At the “B” switch the Pinsetter CPU will ignore the pin holder switches, because the “OOR” switch had not been actuated. The pinfall will have to be entered manually if scorers are present.

• Page 249: Section 7: Preventative Maintenance

  Section 7: Preventative Maintenance GENERAL INFORMATION Preventive maintenance is the most important responsibility of the pinsetter mechanic. Properly performed preventive maintenance will increase reliability, prevent major breakdowns and lengthen the life of the pinsetter. Preventative maintenance should begin when the pinsetters are installed. Waiting until the pinsetters are dirty and operating poorly will create a situation that can quickly become unmanageable.

• Page 250: Lubricating

  3. Lubricating Proper application of lubricants is essential for the operation and long life of the pinsetter. Oiling Always use a oil can or applicator that proviced sufficient control of the quantity of oil being applied. This will prevent over oiling where extra oil will drip off into the wrong area and cause problems, part failures or interfere with bowling activity. Greasing It is always a good practice to wipe off the old grease and dirt it has collected with it BEFORE applying a new coat of grease.

• Page 291: Round Belt Repair And Replacement

  ROUND BELT REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT The GS-Series pinsetter uses green polycord belts of various lengths to move pins through the transport band, elevator and distributor. These belts can stretch, become loose and slip on their pulleys. They can also crack and break as a result of a normal aging process. If the belt stretches and becomes loose, a section of the belt may be cut out and it can be rewelded to the proper length.

• Page 292
  2. Cut off both ends of the belt neatly and vertical to the belt axis with the belt cutter found in your belt welding kit. 3. Pull the belt around the pulley shafts. 4. Place each belt end in the belt holder so they are slightly apart. Refer to Figure 8-5. BELT TIGHTEN KNURLING SCREW HOLDER…

• Page 297: Changing Motors

  CHANGING MOTORS The GS-X Pinsetter uses three different motors. If a motor has to be changed, use the following guidelines. Motor Removal 1. Turn the stop/run switch on the Nexgen Controller, mechanic’s rear control box, or the mechanic’s remote display to the stop position. Turn off the main power switch and disconnect the incoming 3 phase power.

• Page 298: Motor Pulley

  Motor Pulley The single pulley used on sweep motor can be used with both 50 and 60 cycle (Hz) power. The table and distributor motors have dual sized pulleys. For 60Hz operation use the smaller pulley, for 50Hz operation use the larger pulley. Using the wrong sized pulley can result in pin handling problems in the distributor or lowering the table too fast/slow, causing pinfall errors and excessive wear on the stroke limiter assembly and setting table.
