Bonfiglioli @ Parcel+Post 2026

Bonfiglioli participates at Parcel+Post Expo 2026, the leading global event for the postal, parcel and eCommerce logistics industry, taking place in London on 23 - 24 September. At the exhibition, the company showcases its latest automation and drive solutions, designed to improve efficiency, reliability and sustainability across parcel handling and logistics operations. As a trusted global partner for OEMs developing machinery, automation systems and technologies for sorting and material handling applications, Bonfiglioli combines a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance solutions with worldwide service and technical support.

 

High-dynamic solutions for AGV forklifts and AMRs

Among the highlights on display is the BMD Series three-phase synchronous motor, a compact, low-voltage solution designed for high-dynamic industrial applications. Featuring low-to-medium inertia and permanent magnet brushless technology, the BMD operates at 24 - 48 V and combines the benefits of low-voltage operation with the superior performance of a three-phase AC motor. Compared with conventional DC stepper motors, it delivers higher efficiency together with outstanding torque and dynamic response. The BMD Series is particularly well suited to the evolving material handling sector, where fixed conveyor systems are increasingly being replaced by autonomous and mobile solutions. At Parcel+Post Expo, the motor is showcased in combination with a planetary gear unit  of the MP Series. The MP series further enhances the solution with its modular design, wide range of gear ratios, multiple backlash classes and optimized lubrication options, ensuring maximum flexibility across a variety of applications.

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are playing an increasingly important role in optimizing intralogistics processes by enabling flexible, efficient and autonomous material transport. To address the growing demand for high-performance mobile platforms, Bonfiglioli showcases a compact low voltage wheel-mounted planetary gearmotor of the BMS Series. Specifically developed for AMRs, the BMS Series combines permanent magnet technology with a low-voltage synchronous three-phase AC motor in a compact, flange-free design that delivers high torsional stiffness, low moment of inertia and excellent positioning accuracy. The result is a highly efficient, space-saving solution that provides the dynamic performance, reliability and flexibility required by next-generation autonomous material handling systems.

 

Integrated drive solution for compact warehouse

The BMD brushless motor is also present in a solution developed for compact warehouse elevator axes, coupled with the a  parallel shaft gearbox of the F Series. Together they build a compact, high-performance drive package specifically designed for space-constrained applications. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for vertical storage systems, where high dynamic performance, precision and reliability are essential for the rapid movement of drawer-based modules used to store components and materials. The solution is further enhanced by the AxiaVert drive, enabling Bonfiglioli to supply a complete drive package that also integrates advanced functional safety features. This is particularly important in vertical warehouse applications, where operators frequently interact with the system during loading and unloading operations, requiring the highest levels of safety in shared working areas.

 

Engineering beyond standard: custom drive solutions by Bonfiglioli

At Parcel+Post Expo, the company will showcase two custom-engineered drive solutions, highlighting its capacity to design application-specific systems. The first solution combines a custom parallel shaft gearbox with a compact, high-efficiency permanent magnet motor in a fully integrated package, delivering exceptional compactness together with the dynamic performance required by a wide variety of material handling applications, including shuttles, vertical storage systems and lifting equipment. Alongside it, Bonfiglioli presents a compact drive solution based on a helical bevel gearbox combined with a compact synchronous brushless motor. Designed for transport, conveying and general automation applications, the integrated solution offers a remarkably compact footprint while extending the available operating speed range beyond that of conventional geared motors, making it particularly suitable for highly dynamic and intermittent-duty cycles.

The complete Axia drive family for modern automation

For Bonfiglioli, Parcel+Post Expo will be the ideal stage to showcase the Axia family full product range, featuring AxiaVert and AxiaAgile. The former is tailored for high-performance and complex systems, featuring a modular design, comprehensive functional safety options and advanced motion control capabilities. The latter offers a compact and cost-efficient alternative for general-purpose uses. Built on a variant-based concept, AxiaAgile is engineered to address diverse application requirements, providing dedicated configurations that streamline product selection and significantly reduce engineering time. Available in three functional safety variants - Basic, Standard and Motion - AxiaVert provides the flexibility required to adapt to different application scenarios. This represents a key advantage, enabling optimized safety architectures, reduced footprint, and eliminating the need for external safety components, while ensuring safe and controlled operation across multiple movements.

 

EVOX: configuration flexibility, global compatibility, and superior performance

Present at Parcel+Post Expo 2026, Bonfiglioli’s EVOX gearmotor is designed for conveyor and material handling applications. Available in a wide range of configurations, EVOX offers a compact design and installation flexibility. Another feature is the new dynamic brake, developed for high-cycle applications typical of the postal and parcel handling industries. This is complemented by the universal brake power supply, making the motor suitable for global markets. Combined with an extensive portfolio of international certifications, this enhancement enables OEMs and end users to standardize a single motor platform worldwide, reducing inventory complexity and simplifying machine design. Additional new features include an orientable terminal box for easier wiring across different machine layouts. It is paired with Bonfiglioli's high-efficiency helical bevel gearbox which offers reduced installation space, wide output speed range, high stiffness for dynamic application and safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Bonfiglioli IIoT solutions for smarter and more efficient operation

Extending operating time while reducing maintenance costs is a key priority for today's industrial machinery manufacturers and operators. To support these goals, Bonfiglioli offers advanced Industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions that combine Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance, helping customers improve machine reliability and operational efficiency. Through its proprietary IoT platform and dedicated sensors, Bonfiglioli continuously monitors the health and performance of gearboxes and motors, collecting real-time data on operating conditions and energy consumption. By identifying potential issues before they lead to failures, the system enables predictive maintenance strategies that reduce unplanned downtime, optimize service scheduling and extend equipment lifetime, giving users greater visibility and control over their operations.

 

Bonfiglioli’s presence at Parcel+Post Expo marks an important step in consolidanting its role in the parcel and postal automation sector. Thanks to its extensive manufacturing and distribution network, together with a high degree of product customization, from mechanical interfaces to firmware, software and IoT integration, Bonfiglioli is able to meet the evolving needs of customers across international markets.
