Video case study: Prior and NPL collaborate on 3D spatial positioning correction A new video case study from Innovate UK’s Analysis for Innovators (A4I) program explores Prior Scientific’s collaboration with the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to devise 3D spatial correction algorithms to increase the accuracy of the long-range Queensgate nanopositioning stages. Prior received funding […]
Prior Scientific’s Supply Chain Manager, Peter Hall, is undertaking a 24-hour gaming challenge to raise £1000 for two charities: the AMMF and UK Sepsis Trust. Remarkably, this will bring the total that Peter has helped raise for the two charities to almost £10,000. Peter began to raise money for the two charities in memory of […]
The NanoCeramic (NC) series from Queensgate offers high precision positioning in demanding applications. The sensor’s materials and construction make it suitable for use in ultra-high vacuum environments (to 1010 Torr), in a range of temperatures from cryogenic at 80 K/193 °C up to 423 K/150 °C. The NC series offer measurement ranges from 20 µm to 1250 µm, with frequency […]
New research paper available As part of the Analysis for Innovators program round 6, Queensgate, in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), were awarded funding for a project to investigate parasitic motion/off-axis errors in multi-axis nanopositioning stages, and develop a unique and practical correction methodology. All moving systems have a certain amount of unwanted […]
Prior Scientific wanted to support our local community, and one of our employees thought a food donation at Jimmy’s homeless shelter in Cambridge would be amazing, as Christmas is a time of giving and they would be very grateful.
