Available Area
Japan, the US, Canada, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Europe＊1＊1： Only the black (-BK) model can be used in Europe.
Characteristics
- The built-in motor rotates the feed screw, grasping the current position via the encoder and stopping at the target position. Positioning is automated with the feed screw.
- For EPU-220 control, a dedicated transceiver (sold separately) is required. The required transceiver differs depending on the host/connection method.
EPC-200-CCEPC-200-CC----PLC control (CC-Link connection) ＊1
EPC-210-EIPEPC-210-EIP----PLC control (EtherNet/IPTM connection)＊1
＊1： Control with a PC is also possible.
- One dedicated transceiver can control up to 32 units at the same time. Signals from the transceiver to each unit are transmitted wirelessly, with no troublesome cable wiring required.＊2
＊2： Wired connection is also possible. When connecting multiple units, the use of the separately sold repeater hub EORP-200 (EORP-200) enables easy wired connection and reduces wiring work.
- Mounting can be completed simply by replacing the installed operation handle with EPU-220. Compared with the use of a combined handle and indicator, it is thinner and more compact.
- IP65 dust-proof and waterproof structure. It can be used safely even in environments where it may be exposed to dust or water.
-
For initial setting and PC control, the dedicated software EPU-COM is required. The dedicated software is available free of charge. Please download from the NBK website.

The dedicated software function enables registration of up to 100 setups.
EPC-200-CCEPC-210-EIP----Max. 100
- Cable terminal specifications can be selected by the product code. When using the repeater hub EORP-200 (EORP-200), select the connector type.
EPU-220-A----Discrete wire
