Having an issue on a lane where on respot cycle the sweep runs after first gaurd too quickly and hits the headpin out of the fingers, knocking it down then out up the lane as the sweep comes back to 2nd gaurd. can this be rectified by rotating the sweep cams? I think towards the front of the machine or should the gaps be adjusted on the levers?

Check to make sure the sweep is not over drifting or stopping too late when it goes down to guard. You can adjust the SB cam to get it to stop sooner when it goes to guard or adjust the TA2 to make the sweeep start to run later. Carefull you dont adjust them too much or that will cause alot of timing issues.
Turn the SB cam lever inwards
or turn the TA2 outwards
The SB stops the sweep at guard and the TA2 starts the sweeps run throughA person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

First of all make sure your head pin respot cell 2" gap is correct. If the headpin is hanging too low while in the respot cell the sweep may knock into the pin. If that's not the problem then you are going to have to delay the sweep from starting. Rotate the entire table cam backwards about 1/8" at a time until problem is resolved.. Readjust TA1 so table stops at 355. Test and readjust as necessary.If it cant be fixed with a hammer, use a bowling pin.

Already did check the respot cell gap and sweep coast; its definitely the cams. I was looking at the sweep cams originally because the measurements on problem lane are different than the working ones next door. will play with the table one today and see if I get anywhere.When you know what to do, everything is easy.

bad description words incoming:
After looking at the table cams closely the left 2 which I think are TA1 and TA2 were not close to each other so I moved TA2 out and the problem is solved. The middle one (TA2?) is supposed to be in a smidgeon further than the left one(TA1?) correct?When you know what to do, everything is easy.
