The goal of the project is to replace the change gears or gearbox on a metalworking lathe with a stepper motor controlled electronically based on an encoder on the lathe spindle. The electronic controller allows setting different virtual gear ratios for feeds and threading. This kit contains only the front panel, display and button board and 3D printed parts for assembly. To complete the project, you will need other parts, including a Texas Instruments LaunchXL F280049C, an interface PC board (available separately), a motor, a driver, etc. Assembly Instructions: ELS Part 19 Control Panel Kit Video will open in a new window Using the mobile app?
