High precision Capacitive Angle Encoders
The Netzer VLZ Absolute Rotary Encoder delivers up to 26-bit resolution with outstanding ±0.001-degree accuracy and ±1 arc-second repeatability.
Its hollow shaft design enables easy integration and flexible routing of cables or optics through the center, simplifying system architecture.
Designed for the most demanding applications, it offers ultra-low latency under 1 µs and a super-high MTBF for maximum reliability.
The VLZ is the perfect fit for rotary stages, precision milling centers, and high-end semiconductor equipment, redefining what’s possible in absolute position sensing.
