Queensgate awarded funding for fourth research project with NPL<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

29.01.24<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queensgate, a brand of Prior Scientific, has won funding from Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, for a fourth nanopositioning research project as part of Analysis for Innovators (A4I) program (Round 11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the fourth project Queensgate has won funding for through A4I, and once again, they will be working with the dimensional nano and sub-nano-metrology team at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). This project will qualify the performance of Queensgate’s velocity control and special correction capabilities when applied to multi-directional motion profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Queensgate’s product manager, Craig Goodman, explained, ‘Our aim is to provide improved performance for atomic force microscopy, nanolithography and fast optical alignment systems.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queensgate has already developed a number of unique capabilities such as velocity control and spatial correction which allow very high-speed raster scanning with high precision. This project will help the company to refine these capabilities further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous projects that Queensgate has partnered with NPL on include Spatial positioning correction for multi-axis nanopositioning stages<\/a>; Improved linearization of single-axis piezo nanopositioning stages; and developing a mathematical model for multi-axis control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovate UK has released a case study video about the first, completed, project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
