Hydraulic machine

A hydraulic machine comprising:

• a first fluid supply;
• a second fluid supply;
• a first actuator;
• a second actuator;
• a first flow control valve directing fluid from the first fluid supply to the first actuator when the first flow control valve is in a first position;
• a second flow control valve;
• a conflux control valve directing fluid from the first fluid supply to the second flow control valve when the conflux control valve is in a conflux position such that the second flow control valve directs fluid from the second fluid supply and the first fluid supply to the second actuator when second flow control valve is in a second position;
• a bypass path allowing the first fluid supply to communicate with the conflux control valve by passing around the first flow control valve such that the conflux control valve directs fluid from the first fluid supply through the bypass path to the second flow control valve when the conflux control valve is in the conflux position;
• a parallel path diverging from a first fluid path, the first fluid path extending from the first fluid supply and passing sequentially through the first flow control valve and the conflux control valve, in a location upstream of the first flow control valve, to be connected to the first flow control valve, the first flow control valve directing fluid flowing on the parallel path to the first actuator when the first flow control valve is in the first position;
• and
• a flow rate control valve located on the parallel path to control a flow rate of fluid flowing on the parallel path.
