Force platforms (FPs) are complex precision instruments and need an accurate calibration procedure, usually made by the manufacturer before delivery. Usage and age may change the instrument sensitivity leading to a significant lack of precision of the instrument. A new system for the periodical recalibration of 6 components FPs was designed. By the system the (6x6) calibration matrix is estimated and the data accuracy of the FP is optimized. This system differs mainly from a similar work previously presented in its simpler structure and easier and more accurate calibration procedure.

Abstract
Force platforms (FPs) are complex precision instruments and need an accurate calibration procedure, usually made by the manufacturer before delivery. Usage and age may change the instrument sensitivity leading to a significant lack of precision of the instrument. A new system for the periodical recalibration of 6 components FPs was designed. By the system the (6x6) calibration matrix is estimated and the data accuracy of the FP is optimized. This system differs mainly from a similar work previously presented in its simpler structure and easier and more accurate calibration procedure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
