Hi All,
I have been asked by a few people how to read the “Lane Machine Program Sheets” for Sanction Lane Machines.
Attached is a PDF explaining how to read them.
But remember that this does not always mean that the lanes will play exactly as you think. they are more about providing information on the program, and where the oil is laid.
Factors to consider when reading a Lane Machine Program Sheet and comparing to what’s happening out on the lanes are
1) Product
Brand – Oil, Cleaner, Lane Machine, Lane Surface
2) Procedure
Dilution of cleaner
Is pattern converted from other type of lane machine
Dragging lanes – Frequency
Machine checking, calibration frequency
3) Maintenance
Lane Machine – Adjustments checked, worn parts replaced
Lanes washed & oiled regularly
4) Surface
Timber or synthetic
High or low friction lane surface
Age of surface, or last time resurfaced (timber)
Wear & tear, are lanes burned (loss of texture)
5) Topography
Shape of lane, crosswise tilt, crown or depression
Here are some links if you want to learn more on Topography
