Prasad,
I am in the midst of implementing a similar ELS project to John's, with his help and suggestions.? I prefer to think of it as "super-ELS", as the original ELS concept controlled only the lead screw, as I understand it, so that the user could thread basically any pitch.? Super-ELS, as John and Richard (in the UK) have implemented it, (based on the software concept of a Russian gentleman whose name I don't know), also controls the cross-slide.? This allows complete automated threading, and also provides taper cutting, various turning options, etc.? I went with some rather over-sized motors, as you can see in the photos.? The encoder shown is driven off the spindle directly.
I am really looking forward to finishing this and putting it to work!
