QubicaAMF, the bowling and amusement products manufacturer, has released the new XLi EDGE pinspotter.

The significant advancements introduced with this pinspotter are the patented EDGE Performance Lift, a new pin distributor cam and the EDGE video training tool. Backed by extensive research, the XLi EDGE is designed to make business easier for proprietors, technicians and customers by solving the most prevalent market problems around pinspotters, including staff turnover and training, increasing operating costs of older machines, rising safety concerns and improving the customer experience.

The patented EDGE Performance Lift and distributor cam have revolutionised how pins are handled in the pinspotter. The result is some of the best frames per stop performance in the industry, so bowling centres can operate with fewer pin chasers. Parts costs are kept low because the XLi EDGE has fewer wear parts and there are no surfaces in the pin handling path that can damage pins. With the Safety First Ball Detector, the pinspotter will shut down if a person enters the machine from the lane, protecting staff and customers against accidental injury, resulting in increased safety and reduced liability.

The XLi EDGE can help centres deliver a better customer experience because it is the quietest pinspotter and with its exclusive Gripper ball return, fastest strike cycle and reliability, customers are not kept waiting for the pinspotter to set pins or for their ball to be returned. Also, when used in conjunction with QubicaAMF scoring and management systems, if there is ever an interruption in play, customers are kept informed on the scoring monitor as it is being resolved.
