Step 01 / 06Sys 06 · Gantry
Linear rails, belt tensioners and a fixed-length cord guide.
Instead of
Dirty rails, dried lube, stripped gears and slipping belts throw the gantry out of alignment, and a short cord cycles the claw wrong.

A load cell on the chute confirms every win against prize weight, not just a light beam.
Instead of
Blocked or misaligned prize sensors stop play after payment, and light-based strip sensors are easily thrown off by sunlight.

Surge protection and a rollback bank keep a power spike from bricking the controller.
Instead of
Power spikes corrupt firmware and stored settings, and the usual fix is a full reflash or factory reset.

Telemetry module built in — WiFi plus optional LTE — with reporting on plays, wins, payout %, error codes, door-open events, cash-box level and photo-based fill analytics rolling out machine by machine.
Instead of
Telemetry across the industry is partial or bolted on after the sale, and most of it counts revenue, never stock.

A baffled, one-way chute is sized against a child’s body and logs every door-open event.
Instead of
Forced doors, tool fishing, shaken cabinets and pried cash boxes are common theft patterns, and kids have climbed into chutes.

Tempered glass all round on a steel cabinet, front to back.
Instead of
Acrylic and plexi panels scratch and cloud over time, and some cabinets on the market still ship with acrylic instead of glass.
