Semiconductors and hard disk testing
Queensgate nanopositioning systems offer market-leading accuracy, and our systems operate with repeatability in the nanometer range together with response times below one millisecond. Our velocity control allows image collection at speeds greater than 1000 μm/s.

Microscopy and life sciences
Get the fastest step and settle time together with the best positioning performance.
Queensgate long-range piezo sample and objective positioners provide the best resolution, repeatability, and settle times. Our controller techniques also enable performance that is usually only achieved with shorter range stages, cutting scanning times significantly.

Beamline instrumentation
Synchrotron engineers and beamline manufacturers need components capable of operating in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment and may need radiation hard, non-magnetic components with the ability to perform at cryogenic temperature.
Queensgate offers an extensive product line of UHV compatible sensors, piezo actuators, and piezo stages. Whether standard or custom, our systems typically deliver decades of reliable performance, minimizing downtime.

Photonics and Quantum
Some of the earliest Queensgate projects were in the field of photonics. There are countless practical applications from fiber-optic communications cables and devices such as smartphones to specialised medical, scientific and lighting technologies.
Precise movement and control with sub-atomic precision are essential for any photonics application. Queensgate’s nanopositioning sensors and stages play a vital role and are used extensively in photonics applications.

Aerospace and astronomy
Queensgate has long been involved in the aerospace industry. Supplying nano-positioning solutions to on-board scanning and sensing equipment mounted on satellites is an extremely critical area particularly as the implications of a malfunction can be enormous.
Our positioning products have been regularly chosen for such applications due to our renowned quality and precision.
