ELS Handwheel and extensions

Digital handwheel for expanding the ELS4 Basic and ELS4 Pro controllers

The hand wheel 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. Fast and slow jog functions are available as well as START and STOP keys, speed and spindle start (last only effective with ELS4 PRO).
The handwheel is equipped with a stable plastic housing, the membrane keyboard is of very high quality and robust and has strongly raised keys with a clear pressure point.

Extension circuit board with flat cable sets for the self-construction of a handwheel.
The PCB provides a pair of wires for each button on the ELS4 (Basic or Pro), so that buttons can be connected very easily.

Additional an input for a handheld encoder is available, with which the axes of the machine can be moved very easily. With a handwheel the setup is much easier and can be done directly on the workpiece.

This set includes the printed circuit board and 3 flat cable connectors for connecting the probes.
The set is suitable for the ELS4 Basic and ELS4 Pro.
Larger of the printed circuit board: 100×45 mm

A handheld housing, an encoder and a connection cable are also required.

All “normally open” contacts are suitable as buttons
Common handheld encoders with 100 pulses/revolution are suitable as encoders.
All commercially available VGA monitor cables are suitable as connection cables.

The extension runs from software version 6 of the ELS4. There are many possibilities to adjust the behaviour of the handwheel in the settings.

A printed colored DIN A4 manual is supplied.
