Hello, I'll start with my general question and based on the response provide more information. Here's my situation, we have an older Okuma lathe. The indexer has faulted. The indexer is driven by hydraulics and the problem seems to lie when the cylinder is supposed to go to slow speed so that it can lock in place. I've heard that there is a little orifice located somewhere in one of the manifold blocks that throttles the speed back that could be plugged (later models even had needle valves to replace this orifice plug). The reps have been very little help and won't even provide a drawing of the manifold. Has anyone found a good source of information on these machines? Ever had any similar experience? Any help or advice would be appreciated...
