This week we were at the University of Limerick to install a new force plate at the Physical Education and Sports Sciences department.

The BMS600900

The Optima Biomechanics Measurement System (BMS600900) by AMTI is a large mountable force platform measuring 60 x 90 cm, ideal for sports and highly dynamic movements. The force plate’s large target area is perfect for sports performance analysis and testing for a variety of athletic assessments.

AMTI’s patented Optima Technology also makes the BMS600900 extremely accurate with excellent repeatability over the entire surface of the force platform. The composite top material provides a high frequency response, ideal for highly dynamic applications.

Built with advanced Optima technology

AMTI’s Optima calibration technology is a revolutionary development in force measurement technology, offering a 10-fold improvement over any force platform system on the market.

Using AMTI’s new optimised strain gage technology, the Optima force plate model provides levels of accuracy never before seen in force platform systems:

  • Average COP accuracy of just a fraction of a millimetre (typically less than 0.2 mm)
  • Crosstalk values typically ±0.05% of applied load
  • Measurement accuracy typically ±0.1% of applied load*

In addition to the Optima BMS, there are three other variations in the Optima force platform series which are available in the UK:

  • Optima-HPS (High Performance Series). The most accurate force plate available on the market. Read more.
  • Optima-MMS (Medical Measurement Series). The only medical force plate on the EU market and is a certified Class 1m Medical Device. Read more.
  • Optima-SPS (Special Purpose Series). Featuring an extreme viewing aperture due to its thick glass top, which allows activities on the top surface to be viewed and recorded from the underside. Read more.
