3D Rotating Core Images
« on: July 11, 2008, 01:13:57 AM »
We wanted to let everyone know that we now have included a 3D-Rotating Core Image that you can maneuver around manually or have it play automatically.  This link can be found on the specific ball's webpage labeled as "3D Core Image".  For example, take a look at

http://www.900global.com/balls/Break_Pearl

and

http://www.amf300.com/index.cfm?p=balls&bid=37

As more balls are released, we will include the images.  Enjoy!

Nick, how are the cores put into the bowling ball. That is in relation to the CG and Mass Bias. To what side of the core are they located. Just to know what side of the core will get hit by the finger and thumb holes or balance hole if needed.

Nice site feature, Nick!
Too bad it's Solidworks, though.
JK, LOL!

Borincano-Nick can answer that on here in text but we also have a few videos that we plan on putting up soon that will answer those questions as well.

That's answered on the tech pages on the 900G site.  You can also get some of it from the Discovery Channel (?) specials they did at the Ebonite factory.

That is some very good stuff!

Are you guys trying to show the competition how to make good bowling balls?

Next thing you know, you guys will be publishing the coverstock formulas!

Thanks Eric. I am just trying to see which side of the core, either the flat side or round side is facing towards a line drawn from the pin through the Mass Bias. Is just for visualizing the position of this particular core.

Steve Brinkley, will be drilling a Break S75 and it will be next to 2 original Breaks and a Pearl Break.

You guys are creating great products that bowlers need to have. To have these 3D core drawings is great.

Thanks.

Borincano,
     We actually do use Pro-Engineer to design our cores.  The way to tell the correct orientation is when you view the 3D rotating core look for the thin blue line that appears to come out of the pin and run along the outer shell surface.  The is the pin to CG line.  It is targeted to be ~ 3 inches in our CAD designs.  The end of the blue line is where the CG is marked.  In theory and in a perfect world with little to no process variation, the mass bias will be in line with the pin and cg(always is the case in theory).  The three primary axis are 90 degrees to each other.  The pin represents the lowest rg axis, the mass bias mark represents the highest rg mark and the middle rg is at the intersection of lines drawn 6 3/4 inches away from the low/high rg spots.  I hope this helps.
