Bowling pinsetter machine product cost

Design and R&D Costs

Let’s start from the source of the product – design and development. At this stage, engineers must consider how to incorporate the latest technology into the machine to improve efficiency and reduce failure rates. This includes, but is not limited to, mechanical design, software programming, and automated control. This process may require significant time and resources for prototype testing to ensure that the final product will meet market demand.

Materials and Production Costs

Once the design is finalized, the next step is to select the right materials for production. Bowling pinsetters typically consist of metal frames, electronic components, transmission systems, etc. The choice of these materials is directly related to the durability and reliability of the product. Although high-quality materials are more expensive, they can effectively reduce the cost of future maintenance and extend the life of the equipment. The manufacturing process also involves fixed costs such as labor, energy, and factory rent.

Quality Control and Testing

To ensure the quality of the products shipped, each machine must undergo a rigorous quality control and testing process. This step is not only to meet industry standards, but also to improve customer satisfaction. Some design or manufacturing flaws may be found during the testing process, which requires timely adjustment of the production line to avoid the same problems in subsequent batches. The work of the quality control team is also an important part of the cost calculation.

Transportation and Installation

Once the pinsetters are manufactured, they must be safely transported to various bowling alleys for installation and commissioning. Losses that may occur during long-distance transportation must also be included in the total cost. In addition, depending on the customer’s specific needs, professional on-site installation services and technical support may be required, which is also a significant expense.

Service and maintenance

Any mechanical equipment cannot be separated from regular maintenance, and the bowling pin setter is no exception. In order to maintain good customer relations, Flying Technology offers its customers value-added services such as training and technical advice.
