ESD

Reliable electrostatic discharge protection for electronic workstations.

ESD (Electro Static Discharge) refers to the electrostatic discharge of charged objects or people. Electrostatic discharge can result in damage to microelectronics components. This is because of the minute scale involved which means that the energy from a static discharge has the same impact on a semiconductor as a lightning strike would on a tree. ESD chairs play a crucial role when it comes to ensuring reliable ESD protective measures for electronic workstations. ESD protection is regulated by European standard EN 61340, which is designed to help users select appropriate protective measures. It stipulates the following in respect of workplace chairs: “The resistance to the point of contact with the floor of any parts of the seat that could come into contact with the user’s body during standard use must be <1010 Ω.” (Extract from standard EN 61340-5-1) Consistently exceeding the standard bimos ESD chairs meet the requirements of standard EN 61340-5-1 as far as their use in EPAs (ESD Protected Areas) is concerned. However, the demands that actually apply in practice are often more stringent even than this. This is because the increasing miniaturisation of electronics components is making them more susceptible to the problem of electrostatic discharge. The most effective way of dealing with this issue is either to prevent charges from occurring in the first place or to ensure that any undesirable charges are safely discharged. Thanks to the optimum choice of materials and connection technology used, bimos chairs reliably prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges. In addition, the chairs are designed to direct any charges that the user may be carrying safely down to the conductive base as soon as he or she sits down. Thus, bimos ESD chairs offer a fully integrated system of protection.

ESD NEON

When you are looking for maximum comfort and reliability for ESD workstations.

Whenever anti-static work chairs with high ergonomic requirements combined with maximum comfort are needed, the NEON ESD series is the ideal solution.

Like all Bimos ESD chairs and stools, NEON fully complies with the EN61340-5-1 standards.

The combination of its design and careful planning mean that the NEON ESD can meet the highest requirements and expectations in terms of comfort, ergonomics, strength and durability.
ESD LABSTER

LABSTER is the first true laboratory chair in the world!

Unlike the usual adaptations of office or workshop chairs for laboratory use, the Labster chair was created for use in pharmaceutical, medical, hospital, analysis laboratories, etc.

It has been specially designed on the basis of the needs and methods of use of a modern laboratory.

Labster ESD has no sharp edges, thanks to its seamless design concept, where the mechanism is also hidden under a soft, washable and disinfectable cover.

There are no corners and crevices where dust or microorganisms can infiltrate, these are the factors that make the Labster the first and only on the market.

All surfaces of the ESD LABSTER can be cleaned and disinfected very quickly and completely.

In terms of ergonomics, the Labster leaves nothing to be desired.

For example, the newly developed self - motion technology ensures that the angle between the back and thighs is always correct, regardless of the type of work being performed.

The Labster ESD was designed based on the results of the laboratory user study carried out by Fraunhofer 2020

Thus Labster sets new quality standards for its sector. LABSTER is also suitable for use in clean rooms.
ESD STOOL

ESD stools for assistants

Our stools offer extra-large seats with a diameter of 40cm, these stools provide optimal support in industrial and laboratory applications.

The sturdy 5-point steel base and the edge protectors running all around ensure a long lifespan of the stool.

The practical pneumatic spring system with ring control placed under the seat allows easy and comfortable seat height adjustment.
ESD BASIC

The chair par excellence, tried and tested for use in Class III clean rooms

An ergonomic design, excellent use properties in clean rooms and reliable ESD values are the essential things to ask of a chair for the workplace and in particular in clean rooms.

It meets all the stringent criteria required for cleanrooms in Class III and offers a high level of quality in the process.

The fact that chairs have to pass a long series of tests before receiving the certificate means that our quality claims are not just words.

Fraunhofer certifies and confirms the suitability of our chairs for clean rooms

The seal placed by Fraunhofer IPA for approval certifies that the BASIC Clean Room chairs are suitable for use in clean rooms in accordance with the following standards:

• Air 3 cleaning classification according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1

• Air cleanliness classification 1 under United States Federation. St. 209 E

• The provisions of the EU GMP guidelines

• measurements of electrostatic discharges standard EN 61340-5-1

The smooth and sealed surfaces of the seat and back prevent swirling particles even when there is a constant flow of air through the filter system and the shell helps stop the accumulation of particles on the chair.

The synthetic leather, used for upholstery and backing, are permanently bonded using a special foam technology to ensure that no contaminating particles can be released and emitted.

All BiMOS chairs for clean rooms are equipped with measures to discharge electrostatic charges according to ESD EN 61340-5-1 and offer reliable antistatic protection over time.

The chairs can be supplied with a 5-star aluminum base with a high-gloss, abrasion-resistant finish.

The backrest support shell of the chairs is made of plastic.
