Technical Data
- 3cm (1+1/4in) thick cabinet walls made from layers of plywood and medium density fibreboard combined together to provide the sturdiest and at the same time most flexible construction possible.
- The table structure is kept together by metal plates and brackets fastened by screws and bolts for easy replacing of all parts, even the wooden ones.
- MDF playfield support board, for an increased cabinet stress resistance, reinforced by metal bars for the maximum compactness and stability during the competitions
- High quality cabinet coating made of black plastic laminate and brushed aluminium, with silk-screen printed silver words World Champion on the head sides and ITSF official logo.
- High resistance, machine-true hollow steel bars (diameter 16mm) with increased thickness (3mm instead of 2.2mm, allowing 50 % more torsion resistance). Bars are treated with anti-rust chromium plating.
- Going-through (also called solid) bars: bars protrude from the cabinet - at the handle opposite side - to follow the international competition standard.
- The steel roller bearings inside the bearings fixing bars to the cabinet greatly improve the game speed, while reducing the stress for the players' wrists.
- One-colour players in plastic material (moplen) representing a stylized human figure, directly moulded onto the bars: they do not move, cannot be displaced and maintain their positions perfectly. The rounded feet enhance the ball control. Team colours: red and blue.
- New rubber bumpers instead of springs (length 21mm) with new material for a better shock absorption. The rubbers maintain a consistent distance between the player and the wall, preventing the ball from passing by, and allowing the ball to be trapped gently against the wall. They consequently reduce or remove the 'dead spots' on the 3-rod. Also the game is quieter, with less noise against the cabinet during play.
- Handles in a new plastic material to prevent any slipping on the rods. The wood inserts reduce perspiration and improve the grip.
- Playing field in non-reflective sanded glass. Glass is 5mm thick and always tempered. The silk-screen printed white lines on a green background reproduce the football ground.
- New design playfield corners: they slope down perfectly towards the playfield without creating any step.
- Goals in HDP (high density polymer) reinforced with fibreglass and innovating profile moulded to prevent irregular ball trajectories.
- The cabinet can be opened to reach the inside. When the upper cabinet is lifted, a metal support bracket automatically activates to avoid the falling of the same, during maintenance and cash-box emptying: all operations can be carried out with full safety.
- Detachable playing field: two locks enable to detach the playing field from the cabinet upper part for easy cleaning and parts replacing.
- The ball release mechanism is comprised of singulary replaceable parts. The most dangerous edges have been blunted to prevent harms to the operators as well as ball chipping.
- Standard mechanical pull-lever coin mechanism, can be set for any coin or token and releases all balls at once.
- On request, several options of mechanical coin mechanism are available: coin mechanism with coin counter, coin mechanism with tamper-proof coin counter, coin mechanism with tamper-proof coin counter and rejector.
