Bimos – adjust the chair, not the person!

Bimos is the leading manufacturer of top-quality industrial and laboratory chairs in Europe. For over 50 years Bimos has been providing workers in various industries with productive, healthy and comfortable workplaces. The ergonomic requirements of work chairs in industrial companies and laboratories are fundamentally different to those in other sectors. Therefore in production or laboratory is very important durability, the ability to adjust the chair to different body workers, choose extremely durable surface materials. New technical developments make fresh demands of workplace chairs, which is why Bimos chairs are constantly being improved with knowledge of seating technology, various medical professionals, experts from the Fraunhofer Institute (Europe's leading research institute for health, safety, communications, energy and the environment).

Adjust the chair, not the person!

 

Production work makes huge demands on the workplace: people may be using a great deal of energy, they may be precision-working, or making repetitive movements. A workplace chair should not force the user to sit in a constrained position. It must suit its environment and working tasks perfectly, and above all must be adjustable to every person sitting on it. The human body is the measure. A workplace chair must be an equally good fit for anyone and everyone – men and women, small people and large, heavy and light, and young and old. Which is why it is essential to have a sufficiently wide range of settings and adjustments.

 
 

Important functions for adjustment to individual body size:

Seat height adjustment

Seat height adjustment allows adjustment to body size and height of workplace. The ideal seat height is when the knees, hips and elbows form an angle of at least 90°, with the feet resting flat on the floor.

Seat tilt adjustment

Many jobs are carried out in slightly raised positions, and require people to bend forward. A correspondinglytilted seat provides a seat angle of at least 90°, while at the same time providing contact with the backrest.

Seat depth adjustment

The seat depth adjustment matches the depth of the seat to the size of the body, giving the best possible contact surface for the thighs. Contact with the backrest, and therefore the support it provides, are maintained.

Foot support and mounting aid

The mounting aid is height-adjustable, and can be folded upwards by 90°.

Backrest height adjustment

The backrest height adjustment ensures that a person is ideally supported – especially in the lumbar region – no matter how tall he/she is.

Weight regulation

By individually adjusting the pressure of the backrest, both light and heavy people can sit with the correct posture.

 

Armrests

Armrests have the important function of reducing the strain on the upper body and arms. The height, breadth and depth of our 4D armrests can be adjusted and can also be swivelled.

 
 

Choice of two mechanisms for active-dynamic sitting:

 
 

The permanent contact backrest

Follows the movements of the upper body and ensures that the back always remains fully supported. The permanent contact backrest is ideal for people who have to lean forward for long periods of time, with only a small distance between eyes and workpiece (e. g. working in precision  engineering or in the laboratory.

Synchronous technology

Provides an active-dynamic sitting experience with weight regulation. The seat and backrest accompany the body as it moves. This gives the user a feeling that can best be described as “weightless floating”. The synchronous technology comes into its own where users are working at office – type working situations, working at a screen or constantly changing their sitting position.
