This is why Bonfiglioli’s products are optimized at the design stage to identify potential critical conditions. Focused structural solutions are used to prevent them from affecting the machine’s operation. 

By simultaneously considering static and dynamic issues, Bonfiglioli can offer a technically advanced product that ensures regularity in the transmission, absence of vibration and noise control based on accurate qualitative and quantitative sound emission appraisal models.

Finite Element Analysis is performed on each of our products at the development stage. This allows the structural behavior of the entire system to be assessed in detail. Right from the initial design stage, it is possible to create a size- and weight-optimized structure while simultaneously ensuring top-quality performance.
 

With many years of experience in designing and manufacturing AC induction and PM brushless electric motors and electrical drives for both industrial applications and motion control, Bonfiglioli can use the most advanced design and simulation techniques. They are based on closed-loop simulations between an electromagnetic FEM and a lumped parameter thermal network. The power losses at specified input temperatures calculated by FEM are used to determine the working temperatures until the convergence between the calculated and specified temperatures is reached. In this way, it is possible to analyze the dynamic and thermal behavior in both steady and transient applications.

We support our customers' projects from beginning to end.

At Bonfiglioli, we believe that product development relies on passion, efficient processes, and the ability to understand our customers' needs accurately.

In high-performance industrial machinery, the key to success is often the ability to customize the inverter characteristics and motion control behavior to the machine specifications, in order to maximize productivity, efficiency and reliability. In other words: fast machine cycles, best energy usage, zero unexpected downtimes.

Through a deep technical interaction with the customer, followed by modeling and combined testing techniques at the hardware, software, mechanical, thermal end electromagnetic compatibility level, Bonfiglioli can provide outstanding results, clearly measurable through the customer’s machine KPIs.

Advanced laboratories

Bonfiglioli’s test laboratories develop, certify and perform production follow-up for the solutions designed and manufactured in our plants across the world.
Our specialists are true partners to the R&D, technical and quality departments. They help validate each Bonfiglioli product from the smallest critical component to the overall solution.
The test centers regularly conduct additional tests to ensure gearbox durability and confirm the specifications declared during the official approval stage.

Metal laboratory

Our metallurgical laboratories check the suitability of chemical compositions for project materials, as well as surface heat treatments and metallographic structure. These tests are performed for continuous verification of production conformity and for failure analysis during the development phase and after-sales services.

In our R&D team, we offer tailor-made IIoT solutions to maximize the productivity and efficiency of our customers’ machines. From application engineering to condition monitoring and data collection, the R&D team supports you in making data valuable and supports your business, speeding up your development.
