ORDER INFORMATION
CUSTOMER
The first step to receiving a quote is gathering the necessary customer information:
• Dealer name• Name of contact• Contact phone number or email
End user information is also required in the event that LMC needs to con-tact them. The necessary information is:
• Company name• Name of contact• Contact phone number or email
MOUNT STYLE
The mount style may determine many of the possible options and should be selected next. Standard styles of machine mounts include:
The tailstock guide mount is designed to slide and secure in the existing tailstock guide. It is capable of fitting any size Steady Rest with bracket as long as space permits.
TS slide

A Steady Rest bracket can be attached to all flat bed machines as long as space permits.

ADAPTER FOR EXISTING BRACKET
For machines with an existing bracket, a adaptor plate can be made to attach the Steady Rest.

FIGURE 3: FLAT BED MACHINE
The Steady Rest cannot easily attach to a lin-ear motion guide. It can be difficult to order the correct slide for the guide, and often there is a sliding chip guard. In the event the ma-chine has a steel groove, a mount can be made for it.
LINEAR MOTION GUIDE

MACHINING CENTER MOUNT
For machining centers with a rotary table, a mount can be made which mounts to the ma-chine’s table. Multiple Steady Rests can be used with these machines.
FIGURE 6: BRACKET FOR MACHINE
The Steady Rest can be mounted to a machine’s tur-ret. There is an optional rotary joint to ease positioning of Steady Rest for large parts.

MACHINE INFORMATION
The machine name, model, and serial number are useful for selecting from existing mounting solutions. If a mount does not exist, one can be designed using a simple 2D drawing with key dimensions of the machine to assure the Steady Rest will fit. More information may be needed later for the hydraulic system, lubrica-tion, or hose layout.
STEADY REST SIZE There is a large variety of Steady Rest available to meet all your turning needs. The appropriate gripping range for the work piece needs to be selected, these ranges are:
If the work piece does not fit in these standard sizes, a custom size Steady Rest can be ordered.
Gripping Range (mm)
3-65 8-100 12-120 12-155 20-170 35-245 50-310 150-420 125-460 100-500

LUBRICATION OPTIONS
MANUAL LUBRICATION
Steady Rest with manual lubrication come thor-oughly greased internally, and a single grease nipple for continued lubrication
AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION
Steady Rest with automatic lubrication is oiled through integrated metering valves, and re-quires an auto-lube system. If require Atling can provide.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The Steady Rest hydraulic mechanisms can be controlled by:
• Hydraulic fluid
• Compressed air
• High pressure coolant
Existing hydraulic lines or a separate hydraulic unit can be used. There is also a wide range of connectors and controllers that can be purchased for installation.
