What the machine does, what is covered, and how we step in if something fails.

Technical specifications

Machine

  • Compatibility: English billiards (blackball) and snooker, with one and the same machine.
  • Ball reset in about 2.5 s.
  • Up to 24 balls a minute in intensive repetition.

Vision

  • Camera on the front of the machine.
  • Artificial intelligence reads the table and decides to set a new ball as soon as the area is clear. You touch nothing between shots.

Controls

  • Touchscreen on the machine.
  • Screen language and time zone are adjustable.

Tracking and sessions

  • Programmable sessions: the machine stops after a ball count or a duration you set.
  • Statistics: curves of balls placed over 30 days, over 24 months or by calendar year.

Connectivity

  • Wi-Fi.
  • Automatic software updates.
  • Compare your statistics with those of other machines.

Gripper

  • Grip force controlled by the electronics: the gripper takes the ball without marking it.
  • Can be calibrated if you change ball diameter.

Several machines

  • Several Snipers can be used together on the same table: one sets the cue ball, the other the object ball. You then replay a whole situation, not a single ball.
