GPI Linear Absolute Encoders

Model VL18 enclosed Virtual Absolute encoder
Model DVL digital readout
Model 9710 Virtual Absolute modular encoder
Models VA, VB and VF interpolating decoders

The VL18 and 9710 linear encoders utilize GPI's patented Virtual Absolute (R) technology.  Please read our Virtual Absolute article for information on this revolutionary technology that generates absolute positioning for nearly the price of an equivalent incremental encoder!
