Why invest in an advanced bar guiding system like MAESTRO with ABACOS?
Reducing vibration during bar machining isn't just about smoother operation—it directly improves productivity, surface finish, and tool life.
With MAESTRO bar feeders equipped with the ABACOS system, vibrations are controlled and absorbed from the source.
This means fewer interruptions, greater spindle reliability, and consistent part quality over time. Investing in a bar guiding system designed to actively manage vibration helps you get more from your machine, with fewer compromises.
The PRA model is the IEMCA bar loader specifically designed to automate stock reel feeding.
Customers worldwide has chosen this bar feeder for its ease of use and high productivity.
Available with multi-rack or bundle bar magazines, the PRA is particularly appreciated by those seeking high bar autonomy.

BOSS is one of the most trusted IEMCA bar feeders, and it’s officially DMQP-certified, ensuring seamless compatibility with your DMG MORI machines.
Designed for maximum productivity, BOSS combines exceptional vibration suppression with a space-saving footprint. Its additional magazine options allow you to optimize autonomy without compromising layout efficiency.
Whether you're managing tight production schedules or high-volume machining, BOSS delivers the reliability and precision that modern manufacturing demands — now with the added confidence of DMQP certification.
🌍 At IEMCA, innovation goes hand in hand with responsibility. That’s why our Responsible Engineering solutions are designed not only for productivity, but also for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
From advanced bar feeders to high-pressure systems, every machine is engineered to help you reduce your environmental footprint — and run smarter, greener operations.
The IEMCA MAESTRO bar feeders for fixed headstock lathes are designed to optimize every stage of the machining process, even in the most demanding applications.
At the core of the system is the patented ABACOS – Adaptive BAr COntrol System. It features self-adjusting bushings that adapt to the bar diameter, provide consistent-length contact for precise support, and include a dedicated lubrication circuit to reduce friction.
The integrated pneumatic system and high-damping materials help absorb vibrations throughout the machining cycle.
With ABACOS, the bar feeder does more than support the bar: it becomes a strategic element for improving surface finish, tool life, and overall machine performance.
Are you aware that your IEMCA high-pressure unit can be tailored to meet your process requirements in the most optimal manner?
The configuration of the IEMCA Blue Line high-pressure system can be customized to meet the specific needs of each application, including process-specific requirements, machining type, and material used.

🇮🇹 Il futuro dell’industria italiana punta alla digitalizzazione e alla sostenibilità.
Con il Piano Transizione 5.0, le imprese possono accedere fino al 45% di credito d’imposta per investimenti in tecnologie che migliorano l’efficienza energetica.
Le soluzioni IEMCA Responsible Engineering – caricatori di barre e sistemi ad alta pressione – sono già pronte per questo cambiamento e contribuiscono a rendere i tuoi processi più sostenibili e innovativi.
The integrated bar feeder IEMCA NEXT is the solution for multi-spindle lathes that enable you to achieve the highest level of process automation.
IEMCA NEXT replaces the bar loader and stock reel, feeding the multi-spindle lathe with feed finger collets directly, thus significantly reducing the space occupied in the workshop and freeing up useful space for the overall machine park.
Moreover, thanks to internal lubrication and the design of perfectly sized circular guide channels, extremely precise bar guidance is guaranteed, with a considerable reduction in vibrations during processing.
Did you know that the bar feeder plays a strategic role in controlling vibrations on a fixed headstock lathe?
In fixed headstock machining, long and large-diameter bars are often used. Even a small instability can generate significant vibrations, affecting surface quality, tool life, and spindle integrity.
The bar feeder's guiding system should not just hold the bar, but guide it smoothly during rotation.
High-damping material, adjustable guide channel and intermediate guiding points make a real difference in ensuring stability, reducing vibrations, and protecting the entire setup.

Founded in 1961, IEMCA is today the undisputed worldwide leader in the design and production of automatic bar feeders.
IEMCA is born in Faenza, thanks to the entrepreneurial intuition of Dr. Roberto Bucci and Professor Vladimir Fabbri. 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.
