AMTI Epsilon
AMTI have unveiled the latest development in force measurement technology and their most advanced force plate system to date: Epsilon.
Epsilon combines AMTI’s trusted and highest-accuracy Optima 2.0 calibration technology with internal electronics and Power over Ethernet (PoE) advanced connectivity. The result is an industry-leading force plate system that is powerful, flexible, easier to install, easier to scale, and ready for the demands of modern biomechanics research.
You can trade in your existing Optima plates to upgrade to an Epsilon system, and trade in your existing Optima amplifiers (OPT-SC) to Epsilon (EPS-SC) for compatibility with Epsilon systems while preserving your existing Optima plates.
Epsilon’s new features
- Built-in amplifier
- Power and data via PoE
- Multiple host computers
- 50+ force plates
- One sync connection
- Long cable distances (100s of metres)
Internal electronics. Low signal noise. Networked connectivity. 2000 Hz digital output.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Epsilon’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) architecture allows both power and digital data to be delivered through a single standard Ethernet (CAT) cable.
This modern connectivity solution provides robust, high-speed digital communication and precise synchronisation across large-scale installations, all while reducing cable management, supporting longer cable runs, and simplifying installation.
Networked Force Measurement
Epsilon’s networked architecture enables synchronized data acquisition across 50+ force plates and multiple host computers.
Every force plate can be accessed from any authorised computer on the network, providing greater flexibility for data collection in multi-use spaces/facilities, system monitoring, and lab management.
Scale seamlessly as your lab grows.
Optima Calibration Technology
At the core of both Epsilon and previous generation Optima force plate systems is AMTI‘s patented Optima Calibration Technology, trusted by researchers worldwide for its exceptional measurement accuracy and precision. Every force plate system featuring Optima technology undergoes an extensive calibration and verification process across the entire force plate surface to ensure outstanding accuracy, repeatability, and performance.
Epsilon advances this foundation with Optima 2.0, the next evolution of AMTIs patented Optima calibration technology, combined with internal electronics and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity. Together, these advancements deliver the highest accuracy at even faster speeds than previous generations of AMTIforce plates.
Industry-leading accuracy, 10x less noise
Optima 2.0 builds on the innovations of AMTI‘s original Optima calibration technology to deliver the highest standard of measurement accuracy across every Epsilon force plate system.
It also increases the digital output rate to 2000 Hz (a +67% increase from Optima systems) and improves edge accuracy on even AMTI‘s largest platforms.
Epsilon also achieves 10x lower signal noise than previous-generation force plates, providing milli-Newton resolution and exceptional measurement quality across the entire measurement range. High-resolution data is maintained without the need for gain adjustments, making setup simpler and measurements more reliable.
