![]() ![]() Now that the remaining pins are out of the way, it's time to get rid of the pins left on the lane! The pin table rises again with the remaining pins held in the spotting tongs.Once the pinsetter (with or without aid of the CCD camera) has determined that there are between one and nine pins left, this information is sent to the automatic scoring software and the spotting tongs are closed around the pins via a solenoid.The pin table, which consists of ten holes, each big enough to fit a pin, is lowered on top of the pins.Now that the lane is secure, the pinsetter can pick up the remaining standing pins. It also keeps any would-be cheaters from rolling extra balls down the lane. The sweep is a rectangular sheet of metal that extends downward in front of the pins to protect the pinsetter from any balls that might be thrown at it during its cycle. The sweep lowers itself into a "guard" position in front of the pins.The ball pit is the area directly behind the rack of pins it handles the initial impact of both the bowling ball and the flying pins. The sensor is set on a delay of a second or two to allow the ball to hit the pins and end up in the ball pit before the pinsetter starts to do its thing. A roll is detected by a sensor located just a few feet in front of the pins.
