Efficiency and reliability in industrial automation
With Gerbin Control as your partner, you benefit from several specific advantages. We strive for reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and offer electrical components that meet the highest standards. In addition, we combine flexibility with competitive pricing, increase the efficiency of your systems and machines, and have an international network and UL/CSA certification.
Automation in the graphic production environment
The printing industry requires extremely precise and stable processes. Whether offset printing, flexo, digital printing or rotary presses – the slightest deviation in speed, tension or register can affect the quality of the final product.
Our control cabinets control the entire process, from paper feeding to controlling UV lamps, drying systems, stackers and cutting units. In the process, parameters such as speed, temperature, pressure and register position are constantly monitored and regulated. This creates a controlled and reproducible production environment.
Years of experience in the field of industrial automation
Custom engineering and manufacturing
Every printing line and production setup is different – depending on the type of printing, the technology used and the level of automation. Gerbin Control therefore provides fully customized design, software and component selection.
Our control cabinets are designed in EPLAN, built with industrial components and fully tested before delivery. We provide logical panel layout, clear cabling, and connection to existing infrastructure. In doing so, we take into account EMC sensitivity, heat generation, and the required communication protocols within the line.
Stable operation under production pressure
In the printing industry, downtime is costly. That’s why we build systems that can handle long-term load without any problems. Real-time monitoring, error detection and alarms keep processes under control – even at high speeds or complex print jobs.
Our panels ensure reliable signal processing and stable communication with motors, servo controllers, PLCs and sensors – keeping every part of the printing line functioning perfectly.
Interface with line control and software
We ensure seamless integration of the control cabinet within the overall machine concept. Whether interfacing with a central line PLC, operation via HMI or data connection to higher-level systems – we tailor everything to your production environment.
Features such as job change, batch tracking or production data logging can also be integrated so that the system moves with your workflow.
Ease of maintenance and service-friendly design
In an environment with short production runs and high output, speed in maintenance and breakdowns is essential. This is why we build our cabinets in an orderly and service-oriented way.
Clear labeling, smart arrangement of components and easily accessible cabling ensure that faults can be quickly located and resolved. This reduces downtime and increases the availability of your printing line.

Frequently asked questions about control cabinets printing industry
What is the function of a control cabinet in a pressure line?
A control cabinet is the heart of control in a pressure line. It controls all electrical components, such as motors, sensors, actuators, controllers and ventilation units. In the printing industry, the system controls the paper feed, ink supply, drying, temperature control and register position, among other things – all with the goal of a stable and reproducible printing process.
What types of printing processes are these control cabinets suitable for?
Gerbin Control provides solutions for various printing technologies, including offset printing, flexography, gravure, digital printing and rotogravure printing. Our systems are used in both high-speed industrial printing and specialized finishing lines. We design each system tailored to the specific technology, output and level of automation required.
Can existing printing lines be modernized with new control cabinets?
Yes, definitely. We offer retrofit solutions that replace outdated controls with modern systems with up-to-date components, better energy efficiency and higher reliability. In doing so, we ensure minimal downtime and compatibility with the existing plant. Reusing existing motors or peripherals is also often possible.
How is fault detection and process monitoring arranged?
Our control systems are equipped with real-time monitoring, error reports and comprehensive status diagnostics via HMI or SCADA. Operators receive immediate insight into cause, location and possible solution in the event of a malfunction. This makes it possible to act quickly and minimize downtime. We also log errors and events for later analysis.
Can the control cabinets be interfaced with existing software or ERP systems?
Yes. We can realize interfaces with higher-level systems for order processing, production planning or data logging. Integration with existing line PLCs, machine controllers or MES systems is also possible. This ensures better information exchange and more control over production, from order entry to final reporting.
What is the lifespan of a control cabinet and how is maintenance performed?
A well-built control cabinet will last for years, if properly maintained. Our cabinets are designed with high-quality components and logical layout, which facilitates maintenance. Periodic inspection, cleaning ventilation and checking for wear and tear are usually sufficient. We provide clear electrical diagrams and can also provide on-site service or inspections if required.
