On October 22, 2026, Iemca will take part in “Oltre il Piombo – when the alloy changes, the process changes”, an event organized by Bellini S.p.A. at its facility in Zanica, Italy.
The event will focus on the new challenges created by the transition to Lead Free alloys, which affects not only the material itself, but also several aspects of the machining process, including chip formation, cutting forces, temperatures, tool wear, surface finish and chip evacuation.
The aim is to address this transition through an integrated approach, bringing together the different elements of the production chain: material, lubrication, tooling, machine and automation.
During the event, Iemca will present its perspective on the role of automation and bar feeding technologies within an increasingly integrated production process.
The program will also include technical presentations, a round table with the event partners, and a visit to the Bellini facility.
The event will offer an opportunity to explore how materials, lubrication, tooling, machine technology and automation can work together to address the new challenges of Lead Free machining and support a more stable and efficient production process.
