#Carnival crane claw game full
A lot of very high-end claw machines have full LED lighting on the front, behind a partially-transparent plastic panel, first popularised by Elaut of Belgium on their IntraXion E-Claw cranes. Some more modern cabinets are made of aluminum alloy, which makes it easier to relocate as well as cheaper to produce. The main cabinets for claw machines are typically constructed of medium-density fiberboard, with wooden or metal inner support structures. These gantries also contain a series of small electronic switches, which are responsible for letting the main PCB know when the carriages have reached their limits of movement, as well as when the claw is at the top or bottom. This is the actual component the claw is suspended from, and it contains the motors for sideways movement, alongside the motor and pulleys for the movement of the claw on the Y-axis. On these rails sits the gantry carriage, or gantry box. The first controls the movement along the forward and back axis.
Rarely, there are four.Ĭlaw machine gantry assemblies typically consist of two main moving carriages. The claw has three fingers if it is a traditional design or two fingers if it is the Asian-style "UFO" machines. A claw crane consists of many parts, but the basic components are a printed circuit board (PCB), power supply, currency detector, credit/timer display, joystick, wiring harness / loom, gantry assembly, coil and claw assembly.
