Captron SENSORswitches are capacitive pushbuttons which are activated without pressure, using a hand or other parts of the body. The buttons have a determinate sensing distance, which may be altered by varying the approach speed and/or damping factor. A quickly approaching finger will achieve a higher sensing distance than a slowly approaching finger. A hand, […]

These include the single axis Model 2220 or triaxial Model 2470, featuring aluminum housings and a standard 1 meter integral cable; the single axis Model 2240 or triaxial Model 2480, featuring […]
Digital Controller for High Precision Capacitive Sensing
To simplify the use of its pioneering capacitive sensors and provide precise positional feedback in closed loop applications, Queensgate developed its NPC-D-5200 digital controller. The controller incorporates a precision capacitive measurement circuit that is updated with the stage position 120,000 times per second. This allows it to deliver high positional accuracy at speed. The controller/sensor […]
Measuring at the Nanoscale
Sometimes measurements have to be made at the smallest levels. Queensgate’s NX NanoSensor has the sensitivity to measure changes in position to an atomic scale. Key applications include: stage feedback, vibration measurement, metrology, deformation measurements, precision manufacturing, drift measurement, precision beam steering and microscopy. The non-contact position measuring system consists of two sensor plates – […]
