Abstract. The aim of the Conference is to bring together researchers, industry professionals and students not only of the Italian community from the broad ranges of disciplines referring to Mechanism Science, in an intimate, collegial and stimulating environment. The sixth International Conference of the IFToMM ITALY association will be held at the Department of Engineering of the University of Perugia in Foligno (PG), Italy.

Keywords: Please indicate three to five keywords, (written in 8 pt, justified).

Introduction

First page of the manuscript will include at least the title of the paper, name of authors, their affiliation and email addresses, abstract and keywords. The paper should also contain an abstract, an introduction, a main text, conclusions, and references.

The manuscript should be written in 6 or 8 pages. A manuscript of more than 8 pages may not be accepted.

Each submission will be rigorously peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in a Proceedings book by Springer. A selection of presented papers will be published in an extended version in a special issue of the International Journal of Mechanics and Control. The font used in this Template is Times. Do not use other similar fonts.

Author names are written in 10 pt, alignment left. Use author style for automatic formatting. Affiliation of authors is written in 10 pt, Alignment left. Use Affiliation style. Abstract is written in 8 pt, justified. Use abstract style.

The paper should contain an abstract, an introduction, a main text, conclusions, and references.

The title of the paper should be written in 16 pt bold, Alignment left. Use title style. Section titles are 14 pt bold, alignment left and are subtitle style. Subsection titles are 14 pt bold italic, alignment left and subsubtitle style. The following standard numbering is prescribed: 2, 2.1, 2.2 etc. Instead of simply listing headings of different levels we recommend to let every heading be followed by at least a short passage of text.

The following are some examples of a typical equation, figure, table, citations and references. Please do not change the proposed formatting by introducing other styles or by changing this template.

Paragraphs and indents

Please note that the first line of text that follows a heading is not indented (first line style), whereas the first lines of all subsequent paragraphs are (normal style). The text is 10 pt, justified. Spacing of the text is 12 pt.

Equations

The same style as normal text should be used in equation. Here, however Single space is recommended. Equations should be centered and numbered (equation style). They should be referenced in the text as, for instance, Eq. (1). An example of equation is as follows

(1)

Figures

Figures should be centered and referenced in the text as, for example, Fig. 1. The font size in figures should be as normal text (10 pt). Captions are placed under the figure, written in 8.5 pt, using figlegend style. The example follows.

Fig. 1. Please write your figure caption here

Tables

Tables should be centered and referenced in the text as, for example, Table 1. The font size in tables should be table style (8.5 pt). Captions are placed before the table and are centered (tablelegend style).

Table 1. Please write your table caption here

Description 1	Description 2	Description 3	Description 4
Row 1, Col 1	Row 1, Col 2	Row 1, Col 3	Row 1, Col 4
Row 2, Col 1	Row 2, Col 2	Row 2, Col 3	Row 2, Col 4
Row 3, Col 1	Row 3, Col 2	Row 3, Col 3	Row 3, Col 4

Referencing

The reference list should be in order of appearance. A citation in the paper should have the form [1, 2, 3, 4] for a contribution in conference proceedings, journal article, monograph and on line document. Use references style (8.5 pt).

Conclusions

Your manuscript must be sent following the instructions and deadlines given on the IFIT 2026 web page.

Acknowledgments The IFIT 2026 Local Organizing Committee wants to acknowledge the Scientific Committee and the board of the IFToMM Italy association.
