ELS 4 Basic - Electronic lead screw control for lathes
The electronic lead screw turns a simple lathe into a cycle lathe! It replaces the gear completely and drives the X and Z axis of the lathe via one or two stepper motors. This means that any feed rate and thread pitch can be set at the touch of a button and positions can be approached exactly, a position indicator (DRO) is included. Thread, taper or radius turning is easier than ever, even inch threads and multi-start threads can be done by the ELS, all without tap on the conventional lathe. It is switchable between 1- and 2-axis operation.

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.
