I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with an Engine lathe. A quick search suggested that this machine may have been manufactured under license by several manufacturers. The one I'm trying to troubleshoot says Hercules Model SPM 630. What I need is either the schematic, or operator's/owner's manual.
A lot of times I can go in "cold", with no familiarity of a machine or process technology, ask the operators: " how is it supposed to operate", deduce the sequence of operation, and successfully isolate and identify the problem. But this shop doesn't have a skilled enough operator, and I'm just a glorified electrician, not a machinists.
Any leads on where to track down a schematic ?
Thanks,
MLS
