Bonfiglioli has further consolidated its unique market position in the industrial power transmission market with the creation of the Industrial Drives & Solutions Division (MDS). The MDS mission is to become the ‘riskless partner in the energy efficient power transmission market.’ To achieve this Bonfiglioli will supply integrated solutions involving its mechanical, electric, electronic and applications expertise – truly mechatronic. The company’s product portfolio includes brushless motors, low backlash gearboxes, inverters and servo drives.
Robert Rohman, MD of Bonfiglioli South Africa.
Two centres of excellence will derive benefit from Bonfiglioli’s success. The first is Bonfiglioli Vectron in Germany, with strong technical, R&D and manufacturing capabilities in electronic components, especially inverters and servo drives. The second is Bonfiglioli Mechatronic Research (BMR), situated in Rovereto, Italy, Bonfiglioli’s new facility created especially specifically to support the MDS division. BMR will concentrate on brushless motors and low backlash gearboxes. It already offers a strong R&D capability as well as a state-of-the art production facility capable of manufacturing the sophisticated products assigned to it. Together, Vectron and BMR will drive the development of new, customer oriented product solutions which aim at the very top of the power transmission pyramid. Key to the success of MDS will be the strong technical support supplied by its Drive Service Centre (DSC) team, a group of technical experts within both the branches and R&D centres which together have the task of anticipating, understanding and satisfying the customer’s needs.
