POCKET FORMULA - BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORITo provide designers with a flexible means of easy daily consultation. This, in a nutshell, was the guiding aim in preparing “POCKET FORMULA’. Accommodating all necessary formulas in a co-ordinated and logical scheme within the bounds of pocket sized handbook was certainly a job requiring careful attention and shows just how well BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI understands the needs of designers. To do a good job rapidly is not a target that is always easily attained, but it is now a distinct possibility with the aid of the POCKET FORMULA.BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI S.P.A. Established in 1956 under the name C.M.B. (Costruzioni Meccaniche Bonfiglioli), the firm is the founding company of the Bonfiglioli Group and is also one of the most well known companies in the Bologna area where its head office is situated. In its early days, the gearbox range comprised 5 types as follows: RA-MRA helical gearboxes; CAO-MCAO right angle gearboxes; RAP parallel shaft gearboxes; RAE- MRAE planetary gearboxes; and VF-MVF worm gearboxes. The latter were responsible for BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI’s success by virtue of their quality, reliability and competitive price. The firm’s position as European leader in this field was brought about by ongoing development of products but, above all, by the use of production equipment that is state- of-the-art in the mechanical industry. From 1987 to the present the company has invested over 28 million dollars in machine tools and other equipment to enhance quality and productive automation which has enabled it to achieve a daily output of 3,500 gearboxes. Finally, BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI, the top Italian company in terms of turnover and output, has recently endeavoured to obtain certified approval of its quality control system - ISO 9001 - by DNV Italy. This objective was duly achieved and was sought after essentially by the Chairman with full co-operation from the entire company.
