Equipped with all cycles, the ELS 4 Basic is suitable for the price-conscious user who wants to use all the advantages of the ELS. Well suited for the occasional lathe operator, for small workshops with recurring tasks and ambitious hobby lathe operators who want to add new exciting functions to their lathe.
The ELS 4 Basic has a very high-quality, deeply embossed membrane keyboard with a clear pressure point and an easy-to-read matrix display.
Equipped with a large TFT colour display and keyboard, the ELS 4 Pro is very easy to operate and can also be read from a distance. In addition there are possibilities for spindle control (FU output with 0-10V), faster menu navigation, diameter display and 24V compatibility at the inputs and outputs.
The ELS 4 Pro comes in a massive 160×220 mm aluminium housing with a waterproof, high-quality, deeply embossed foil keyboard with a clear pressure point.
Digital handwheel for extending the ELS4 Basic and ELS4 Pro controls.
The handwheel allows the ELS4 control to be operated close to the workpiece. It has a large encoder handwheel with which the axes can be moved stepwise and continuously. The axes can be zeroed or deactivated. Travel keys for fast and slow are also available, as are START and STOP keys and speed and spindle start (the latter only effective with ELS4 PRO).
The handwheel is equipped with a sturdy plastic housing, the membrane keyboard is of very high quality and robust and has strongly embossed buttons with a clear pressure point.

You do not need a PC with monitor and keyboard, the ELS works completely independently. You don’t have to create any drawings or programs, just enter the few values you need for processing and you can start working immediately.
Free choice of feed rate without gear shifting or change of change gears. Just turn the knob!
For most cycles it is sufficient to enter only 3 values: feedrate, length and depth.
By outputting step and direction signals, the ELS is compatible with most motor/driver systems. Stepper and servo motors of any size can be easily connected.
The position of the Z and X axis is continuously logged and can be read at any time. This saves you a position display, which is already included with the ELS.
Rare these days: A printed complete manual is included with every ELS. Alternatively, you can download the manual as a PDF file.
The ELS software can be easily updated with a micro SD card, so the controller can remain installed. Updates are free of charge.
The setting menu allows the ELS to be set exactly to your needs, so it can be adapted to any lathe.
The standard turning types are of course the main part of the cycles. External and internal turning to precisely adjustable positions, facing and cutting off are of course also possible. Thanks to the constant feed, cut-off with the ELS works much better than by hand. All cycles work with several cutting steps, which can be set very easily before starting: You just turn the knob and select the number and depth of cuts.
Threading becomes child’s play with the ELS. It cuts any thread fully automatically, even imperial, tapered and multi-start threads are possible. On request, the cut can also be made with flank or modified flank infeed.
Inside and outside, the ELS can turn radii and cones, and the cutting edge radius is also exactly compensated. You can turn cones of any size, inner and outer radii, convex and concave, both round and elliptical, without any additional tools or adjustments. Grooves are also possible!
Move to positions without reading lines: Simply enter the desired position and move to it with the control keys. The drives always stop at 0 and at the specified nominal position when moving manually.
The ELS 4 Basic is supplied with 12V, the ELS 4 Pro with 24V. A jack socket is available for this purpose (with the ELS 4 Pro also a terminal). The voltage input is protected against reverse polarity and fused.
Two axes can be controlled, in addition the ELS supplies step/direction signals with 5V amplitude. These signals are routed out via RJ45 sockets and terminals. This means that almost any drive can be connected with step/direction signals. The ELS can be adapted to any drive via the settings.
The encoder on the spindle can be connected via RJ45 socket or via removable terminals.
4 inputs for emergency stop, limit switch X, limit switches Z and Error are available. Up to 24V can be applied here. The software supports different polarities (NC or NO contacts) and has emergency stop and limit switch programs.
4 outputs are available which can directly control relays or other loads. Each channel can output up to 24V and 300 mA. The functions are emergency stop sequences (with delay), cooling, spindle stop and spindle start (ELS 4 Pro).
The ELS 4 Pro also has an output with 0-10V voltage for controlling a frequency inverter. This allows the speed to be adjusted during cutting, e.g. during facing. The ELS 4 Pro also allows the speed adjustment and the start/stop of the spindle drive if it is operated via an inverter.
A 6.3mm earthing plug is available for a clean earthing of the housing.
An external control unit can be connected via a SUBD connector. Either the ELS 4 control panel from Rocketronics can be used or your own, but then a connection board is necessary (in preparation).
