EDC Driver Unit
Features of EDC Driver Unit
Adopts new servo algorithm (achieves settling time of 1 [ms])
The EDC Driver Unit adopts an original disturbance observer and preview-based feed-forward
control, which significantly reduce positioning time.
Positioning controller function
Positioning operation can be controlled without complicated communications or upper
controller.
Compact Driver Unit
Combined with special electric components and advanced integration technology, the Driver
Unit body is 65% smaller than conventional NSK units.
Variety of control I/Os
Control inputs/outputs required for positioning are available, including encoder output, servo
control and program control. No additional sensor is required to monitor the status.
