Gents,
I saw this indexer also. I think it was made by one of the larger Japanese
companies. The plunger had a replacable nylon pad on it so when the endmills
hitting it shredded it enough, it could be changed in a few minutes. If
there was a small one, it's lack of wiring would be very nice on a large
pallet with multiple units or on a tombstone.
