Pomini Tenova and Siemens have strengthened their strategic partnership to deliver roll grinder revamping and modernisation solutions.

The partnership is set to combine Pomini Tenova’s process expertise in roll grinding, inspection systems, roll shop automation, and digital solutions with Siemens’ advanced CNC-based automation technologies.

Paolo Gaboardi, executive vice president at Pomini Tenova, said: “Strengthening our collaboration with Siemens allows us to offer customers comprehensive revamping solutions that go beyond mere equipment upgrades, towards a truly AI-powered autonomous operation.

“By integrating Siemens’ advanced automation and digital technologies with our roll grinder-specific solutions, we help customers improve long-term competitiveness and enable them to differentiate from the competition.”

The collaboration builds on over 40 years of joint engineering experience, plus nearly 1,000 Pomini Tenova roll grinders already equipped with Siemens technologies.

Sascha Fischer, vice president of sales for machine tool business at Siemens, added: “Together with Pomini Tenova, we transform roll grinders by upgrading the machine’s CNC core.

“At the same time, we combine deep domain expertise with advanced digital and future-proof automation technologies, as we do with new machines, for which we also take advantage of including Siemens’ most comprehensive Digital Twin.

“This approach enables more autonomous operations and unlocks new value from customers’ existing assets.”
