Experts in high speed, high precision applications Leaders in nanopositioning We deliver what customers need Queensgate has been a premier supplier of high precision nanopositioning products for over 40 years. The company was founded in 1979 from the groundbreaking research at Imperial College in London and quite literally "wrote the book" on nanopositioning. The Nano Positioning Book by Thomas Hicks and Paul Atherton defined the stringent use of "precision" and "accuracy." These definitions are still upheld today as the only way to describe nanopositioning systems' performance. Most...

Selecting the right materials for the optimal performance Designed for performance Queensgate specializes in piezo-driven flexure-guided positioning stages, piezo actuators, and capacitive sensors. Most of Queensgate's solutions are customized to meet customers' unique challenges on performance and quality. We have helped our customers to decrease their test times and increase their products' yields by consistently delivering the best performance for the price. We road test your product before manufacturing Queensgate uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) before physical prototyping. FEA is a...

Enhanced digital control technology Marketing leading control algorithms Unparalleled precision with the best dynamic performance A tool kit to deliver the best performance Digital control provides the flexibility of tuning to optimize a system for speed, resolution and payload. Queensgate standard controllers have the lowest electronic noise (low picometres levels) have high power and run closed loop control in 20 µs. Queensgate algorithms control speed and acceleration to minimize overshoot and system resonances to give the best step settle times. User-selectable parameters allow for easy...
