Bucci Industries Brazil has recently completed the installation of two BOSS 552 bar feeders on BIGLIA lathes for a Brazilian machining company.
The BOSS 552 is one of IEMCA’s most renowned models, delivering reliability, performance, and maximum efficiency in bar feeding under all production conditions.
Through this project, Bucci Industries once again demonstrates its commitment to supporting the development of the Brazilian industry, providing advanced technology together with local service and expertise.
Stability Starts with Structure
In fixed-headstock turning, vibration control starts with the bar feeder.
Even minimal structural deflection can affect surface finish, tool life, and spindle integrity.
That’s why a rigid, well-anchored structure is key to ensuring stability and long-term performance.
Custom finishing, made in IEMCA.
We manage the entire painting process internally to guarantee maximum quality, precision, and consistency.
Thanks to our in-house capabilities, we also offer color customization to align with your brand identity or specific project needs.
Tailored solutions, down to the last detail.

🇮🇹 New Installation in Italy!
Here’s a successful installation of an IEMCA BOSS bar feeder with the Blue Line high-pressure coolant system on a Star CNC lathe at a customer's facility in Italy.
This setup delivers a powerful combination of speed, precision, and process stability — exactly what's needed for demanding turning operations.
The Blue Line system boosts productivity with efficient chip evacuation and extended tool life, while the BOSS bar feeder guarantees smooth, uninterrupted operation.
Wondering how to maximize the productivity of your multi-spindle lathe with feed fingers while keeping costs down?
The key lies in automating bar feeding: the traditional setup, involving manually loaded stock reels, results in unnecessary downtime during the work cycle that could be spent on production, and leads to higher overall production costs.
You have two options to automate the feeding of a multi-spindle lathe with feed finger collets: a bar loader for the stock reel or an integrated bar feeder to directly feed bars into your machine.
🇩🇪 Precision and performance: new MAESTRO 80 installation in Germany
Bucci Industries Deutschland has recently completed the installation of an IEMCA MAESTRO 80 bar feeder on a DN Solutions turning center at a German manufacturer.

Is Your Multi-Spindle Lathe Not Equipped with Feed Fingers?
No worries! IEMCA offers automated solutions for all types of multi-spindle lathes and the IEMCA SIR range of integrated bar feeders is the perfect solution for your workshop.
IEMCA SIR enhances machining efficiency by automating the loading of bars on multi-spindle lathes without feed fingers and managing the recovery of bar remnants at the end of machining.
Improved part quality, longer tool life, and fewer production stops — that’s the power of vibration control.
The IEMCA MAESTRO bar feeder with ABACOS installs close to the lathe spindle, supporting the bar and actively dampening vibrations for a smoother, more stable process.

Together, in 1961, they start a working group to develop solutions to automatically load the bars on machines. In 1966, the first bar feeder in the world is officially presented, the IEMCA model " A " is an immediate success.
Since then IEMCA has developed the widest range of bar feeders. The secret of the IEMCA’s success is the passion of a team of highly motivated people in the continuous research for innovative solutions to improve the productivity and the customer service.
