ELS Lathecontroller

The Electronic Lead Screw Control is a simple cycle control for lathes. We offer two variants:

  • The ELS4 Basic for do-it-yourselfers and occasional turning jobs.
  • The ELS4 Pro for the ambitious lathe operator and workshops.

The ELS4 is integrated into an existing lathe, which must be equipped with a spindle encoder and two drives on the X and Z axes.
The ELS4 then offers you free feed selection and many automatic functions such as thread turning, taper and wheel turning, and much more. 

An electronic leadscrew control is a type of control system used to position and drive a leadscrew, which is a type of linear actuator that converts rotary motion into linear motion. The electronic leadscrew control typically consists of a drive motor, a control unit, and an encoder. The control unit sends commands to the motor to rotate the leadscrew at a specific speed and direction, and the encoder provides feedback to the control unit on the position of the leadscrew. The electronic leadscrew control uses this feedback to adjust the motor speed and direction as needed to maintain precise control and spincle synchronisation over the leadscrew position.

If you previously had a gearbox with change gears, you will never have to change change gears again with the ELS: You simply set the desired feed rate!
Many enthusiastic customers rely on the ELS, which also transforms your machine into a whole new tool!  Also check out our rebuild packages with all the parts needed for a rebuild. You will find them in the list below.

About Rocketronics

Rocketronics was founded in 1999 as a family business by Louis Schreyer. As an engineer for microelectronics, I design hardware and also develop the software for it. We manufacture our products in-house on our own machines, and this for over 20 years now - made in Germany. In addition to the development and production, the testing of the products is also carried out here. We also manufacture the prototype construction and the test fixtures ourselves. We use lathes and milling machines for this, but we also use our 3D printers a lot. The CNC milling machines we build ourselves produce many small parts, e.g. for the housings of our controllers.

In addition to manufacturing controllers, we also trade in the necessary components. As a dealer we have a large stock of components for machine building and automation, which we offer in this store. Our suppliers are the original manufacturers, with us you buy tested branded goods. 

We also consult you when it comes to choosing the right components. We have a lot of experience in building and operating CNC milling machines and lathes. We can help you if you have questions, be it about the control system, the choice of drives or in general about the construction of CNC milling machines and the conversion of lathes. 

Our online store shows you all items available for immediate delivery, and allows you to shop securely with many payment methods and fast shipping. Data traffic is of course encrypted, payment is processed and secured by reputable service providers, and we offer a 30-day return policy
