PC-Control: Bowling robot shows the way to the perfect game

EtherCAT: Optimum synchronization and precision of movement sequences

Bowling is, of course, a popular sport in the U.S. It is estimated that 70 million people go bowling in the course of a year; more than two million regularly bowl as part of a club. As an umbrella organization, the “United States Bowling Congress” (USBC) coordinates and ensures the technical perfection of the sport by extensive material and quality tests. The association set a milestone in 2010 with the high-performance bowling robot E.A.R.L. (Enhanced Automated Robot Launcher), which was developed by ARM Automation. A PC- and EtherCAT-based platform from Beckhoff ensure precise control of the robot.
