Rockland, MA. (January 31, 2019) – Prior Scientific are pleased to announce the release of our Queensgate NanoScan NPC-D-6000 Series Multi-Channel Closed Loop Controllers. Both the single and multi-channel digital nanopositioning controllers are designed to operate in a closed loop feedback mode with stages or actuators incorporating capacitive position sensors. The controllers deliver:
- Low noise
- Low drift
- High power
- Best resolution
Fast position update rates contribute to high speed positioning accuracy for dynamic applications that require high speed movement of the stage. The NPC-D-6330 controller is capable of controlling up to three piezo driven actuators and two or three axis nanopositioning systems. The NPC-D-6110 is a single channel version delivering the same performance for single axis nanopositioning systems.
Alison Raby, Business Development Manager at Queensgate Instruments says, ”These new products when paired with a Queensgate stage or actuator delivers high performance positioning for dynamic applications. The function playback capability sets these products apart from our competitors.”
The NPC-D-6000 series controllers deliver repeatability of movement with improved precision and accuracy for precise imaging and focusing at higher maximum speeds with fast step settle times. This can be particularly important for longer range stages or stages designed for high load bearing.
Several applications and markets are benefitting from the new product including microscopy, AFM, hard disk drive testing, metrology, beam steering & nanoscale machining, showcasing the precision, accuracy and control the new NPC-D-6000 series has to offer.
