-- Netzer Precision, a global leader in cutting-edge motion sensing solutions, announces the launch of the VLZ Series, a revolutionary line of absolute rotary encoders that redefines the boundaries of angular position measurement. Featuring capacitive sensing technology, non-contact architecture, and micro-degree accuracy, the VLZ line marks a significant leap forward in encoder design for high-stakes applications.
With the VLZ Series, Netzer is introducing a new standard in angular sensing. Achieving 1 milli-degree accuracy without reliance on fragile optical components is a breakthrough that enables precise, real-time angular position feedback in environments that are typically challenging for traditional encoders, such as those with high magnetic fields, vibration, and wide temperature fluctuations.
Advanced Angular Measurement Without the Compromise
At the heart of VLZ’s innovation is Netzer’s proprietary capacitive sensing technology, which offers contactless operation for long-term reliability and superior environmental resilience. By eliminating moving parts and optical paths, VLZ encoders are not only more robust but also significantly lighter and more compact - key requirements for next-generation designs in robotics, aerospace, defense systems, and precision manufacturing.
Unlike optical encoders, the VLZ thrives in environments where dust, temperature variation, and electromagnetic interference would cause failure. With absolute position repeatability, ultra-fast response times below one microsecond, and immunity to EMI and magnetic fields, the VLZ Series is tailor-made for demanding angular feedback systems.
Its precision and reliability make it especially beneficial in industrial automation and robotic systems, where accurate angular feedback is essential for maintaining motion control, alignment, and efficiency. From automated assembly lines to collaborative robots and positioning platforms, the VLZ improves system responsiveness and helps reduce downtime across a range of use cases.
At the same time, the VLZ’s adaptability and rugged design make it an excellent fit for applications in aerospace, defense, and semiconductor equipment, where high accuracy, minimal maintenance, and environmental tolerance are equally critical. Whether it’s stabilizing optics, guiding motion in vacuum tools, or controlling axes in CNC machines, the VLZ brings consistent performance and design flexibility to advanced engineering environments.
Built to Integrate In Any Configuration
The VLZ encoders are engineered for mechanical flexibility, offering wide mounting tolerance, optional bearing-style configurations, and dual-side surface mounting. Whether implemented in rotary tables, direct-drive motors, tilting stages, or robotic joints, their hollow shaft rotary encoder format ensures smooth integration into compact assemblies.
Designed to support a broad range of digital communication protocols - BiSS-C, SSI, SPI, RS-485, and incremental AqB - the VLZ encoders enable straightforward implementation into diverse control architectures. Their built-in IMU delivers real-time data on angular motion, temperature, and shock diagnostics, reinforcing their value in predictive maintenance and system health monitoring.
Precision that Powers Tomorrow’s Systems
The VLZ Series combines high resolution performance with practical engineering advantages: low power consumption, exceptional shock resistance (up to 100g), IP40 protection, and a high MTBF of over 15 years. These attributes ensure optimal performance in both static and high-speed rotational applications, from semiconductor equipment to vacuum robotics and UAV stabilization.
