How a Bowling Alley Works

  • Here is an animation I did that shows how a bowling alley works. This particular design is taken mostly from Brunswick's pinsetter. The ball return is taken from AMF's Gripper ball lift. Please note that I wasn't going for an exact representation of a particular type of bowling alley. This was just to demonstrate the basic understanding of how it all works. I created the geometry in 3ds max and the animation was done in Cinema 4D. I then used After Effects to compile everything and to add sound effects etc.

    I use to work in a bowling place almost 30 years ago. The system hasn't changed alot since then, the biggest difference is there was no camera and no laser detector. The way the machine knew a ball came in is by hitting back of the pin deck and triggering it to cycle. There were 2 elevator wheels next to each other one for the pins and another for the ball. The ball wheel had some padding that helped grab the ball and pull it up to the ball return. Pins and balls often mixed but eventually fell into its proper wheels.

      The entertainment world is evil. you see the huge work they put in creating all these entertainment play things in the world? It’s non other than to force us to play that this is the way of life...
      People have forgotten Allah Our Creator The High The Great The Truth The Light...
      This is the life the blessings the right path
      we are becoming evil by turning away and we don’t notice it as children because we didn’t know much about truth about life.
      The devils agenda is being implemented to drag people away from their Creator,,, that we humans are like Mickey Mouse, Mouses going to Disney to play

      Like image being locked in a dark bolling alley, by yourself, with very little light.
      You're right, that's the main problem.
      I didn't notice because I was looking at it through the mindset of an entrepreneur, all I was thinking is whoever invented this system and patented it made millions of dollars, and their children and grandchildren are financially set for life.
      Because people will be bolling even when 16K UHD video games come out.

      @@Henrix1998 former pinsetter mechanic here. the camera does take the pic. lol adjusted enough of them for being out of wack. but your condition of not seeing is true but does not happen that often. and the player does have the score over ride if need be to fix the score. and the camera for the most part is actually looking at the neck of the pins the smallest dia of the pin so easier to see and also the cameras are not high res. no very low res and pixelated image is use to compute the differences. and besides 95% of the time the pins stay in one place or is knocked down out of the cameras view. and the angle of the camera to the pins (one camera for one pair of lanes) is such that each pin is seen and seperated from the others with ease. in other words there is a point of view where all 10 pins can be seen clearly all at the same instance. that angle also includes height from the pin deck as well.

  • @blackandwhite124
    @blackandwhite124 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The unusual part of the A2 is that the machine is almost purely mechanical, only few switches in the entire machine (3 for power control, two for errors, one for the active cycle lights) everything else is run by one motor with belts and pulleys, with a complex system of cams and gears controlling everything from table height, the rake action and even holding the table up on second cycle. It has my favorite ball return design of all pinsetters for sure! the actual A2 drops them into a fun rail track mounted in the middle of the wheel in the back. as the description states this video does a great job as an introduction to pinsetters and I really hope it gets more people interested like i was so many years ago

      actually your not far off. there is a pc tied to the lanes although most lanes work as a pair and there are some faults that cant be fixed with out taking its pair offline . they also share a ball return between the pair. an experienced pinsetter tech can identify a problem by the noises the lane is making well before the cpu's sensors time out and start throwing error codes and flashy red lights.
