How much compression were you getting on your balls? (distance from shooter wheel surface to curved backplate)

Thank you for your insights! :-)

Not sure if it was on video or not--it would be somewhere in the second day.

I know the compression was >1", but I can't be positive on the exact amount (wasn't my subsystem). We did get the arc down to 29 degrees. The shooter also had strips of AM's abrasive green belting on the arc.

Trying to get a 4" diameter wheel to get any distance, even with equal wheel edge speeds as larger wheels, has been ... challenging...

After we switched to the short acceleration arc, there wasn't much distance shooting--the arc was always pointed in a direction more conducive to close shooting. Could you do it from a distance? Maybe, if you can get around ball variance issues. We tried shooting from the Outerworks distance, and though we couldn't hit the target due to the angle being too steep, we still got plenty of air.

I can't be sure on the compression. It was at least 1" and had strips of abrasive material on the hood.

Hi PurpleINK,

THe PDF that was posted opens as a blank document with the SOLID WORKS statement at the bottom of the document. Do i need a special viewer for this PDF?


Thanks

Are you opening it in your web browser, or with Adobe? You have to download it and open it with Adobe reader to be able to enable the 3D content.

If you just click the link, the image will display as a blank paper that says Solid Works at the bottom. That is because it 'opens' in google drive which cannot support the 3D format.

At the top of that page, you'll need to click the 'Download' button. It looks like an arrow pointing down towards a line.

Once it has downloaded, simply open it.

I hope this helps!
