A typical installation of the PinCam
bowling pins detection device is normally
installed on the ball return capping, and
this is because the ball return system
is underground and you can’t see the
bowling ball returning to the bowler. In the
sample image to the left, an illustration of
an 8 lane bowling center with the PinCam
is installed on the ball return capping.
When the bowling center has pinsetters
that require a PinCam to detect the
bowling pins for scoring purposes, and
the bowling center ball return system
has surface ball returns, the Steltronic
PinCam has to be installed using a tunnel
system.
This allows the bowling ball to travel
above ground on the ball return track, and
the Steltronic PinCam is mounted on top
of the tunnel as seen here to the left.
