GALLUS Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full GALLUS product range. Below are the major product families we service.
EPC3 Control Unit
Electronic press controller managing multi-color register, tension, and print quality on Gallus rotogravure and flexo presses. Common faults: encoder signal loss, register calibration drift, servo loop instability, and touch panel communication timeout affecting production speeds up to 400 m/min.
EPC4 Control Platform
Next-generation press automation controller with integrated color management, closed-loop tension control, and real-time production analytics. Repairs address firmware corruption, PLC module failure, analog input signal degradation, and Ethernet gateway connectivity issues on high-speed narrow-web presses.
Servo Drive Modules
Dedicated servo amplifiers controlling register motors, impression cylinder, and unwinding tension on Gallus presses. Common repairs include power stage failure, feedback encoder disconnection, over-current shutdown, and PID tuning reset after mechanical adjustments.
HMI Touch Panel Terminals
Color touchscreen operator interfaces for press settings, production reporting, and real-time diagnostics on Gallus equipment. Repairs cover capacitive screen malfunction, display degradation, flash memory corruption, and communication protocol timeout between panel and EPC controller.
Encoder Systems
High-resolution absolute and incremental encoders monitoring web position, register, and print repeat distance on rotogravure and flexo presses. Repair focus: connector corrosion in humid printing environments, signal cable intermittency, firmware calibration loss, and multi-turn absolute encoder data retention.
Pneumatic Control & Gripper Units
Solenoid valve arrays and electro-pneumatic logic controllers managing impression release, gripper actuation, and waste removal on Gallus presses. Common issues: solenoid coil burnout, pressure switch calibration loss, logic relay aging, and response time delay affecting registration accuracy.

Common GALLUS Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GALLUS equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓EPC3 encoder signal loss during production run — Loose or corroded encoder connector at press spindle. Gallus encoder cables are exposed to ink mist and moisture in narrow-web environment, causing intermittent signal dropout every 15-20 minutes of operation.
- ✓Register drift exceeding 0.5 mm between color units — PID loop tuning degradation or servo motor encoder feedback calibration error in EPC controller. Common after mechanical maintenance or when proportional gain values are manually adjusted without proper baseline reference.
- ✓HMI touchscreen becomes unresponsive or freezes — Capacitive touch sensor failure due to salt spray or ink solvent exposure near the print station. Flash memory corruption from unexpected power loss also degrades panel responsiveness in Gallus installations without proper UPS backup.
- ✓Impression cylinder solenoid valve fails to release — Solenoid coil overheating from continuous energization or debris lodging in valve spool. Gallus pneumatic controllers operating 18+ hours daily experience coil insulation breakdown, preventing proper deactivation signal transmission.
- ✓Servo drive overload fault with inability to re-enable print — Mechanical binding in gripper drive or worn roller bearings creating sustained motor current draw. Gallus servo modules protect against sustained overload by disabling motor output, requiring technician reset after mechanical issue is resolved.
- ✓Multi-color register cannot achieve sync after plate change — Absolute encoder data loss or multi-turn encoder counter reset on secondary color stations. Occurs when power loss happens during encoder initialization or after EPC3 firmware update without proper encoder position backup.

Frequently Asked Questions — GALLUS Repairs
Do you repair Gallus equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete Gallus product range—EPC3 and EPC4 controllers, servo drives, HMI panels, encoder systems, and pneumatic units. We offer door-to-door pickup across India from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all other industrial cities. All repairs are performed at our 10,000 sq ft facility in Vadodara, Gujarat with 14-day turnaround standard. Call +91 265 2359999 for emergency press support.
What is the typical turnaround time for Gallus EPC3 or EPC4 controller repair?+
Standard turnaround is 10-14 days from receipt at Synchronics facility. However, Gallus controller repairs often complete in 5-7 days because we maintain pre-tested spare circuit board modules, genuine firmware images, and full diagnostic test rigs calibrated to EPC specifications. Emergency expedited service (2-3 days) is available for active production lines—contact our technical team for same-day logistics arrangement.
Can Synchronics repair Gallus encoder systems with data loss or multi-turn counter failure?+
Yes. Synchronics specializes in Gallus encoder restoration including multi-turn absolute encoder data recovery, incremental encoder signal conditioning, and calibration of position reference on rotogravure and flexo press spindles. We use precision laser measurement tools and EPC software utilities to re-establish encoder home positions without disrupting mechanical alignment. If the encoder module itself is damaged, we source genuine Gallus encoder replacements with full commissioning support.
My Gallus press is showing register drift exceeding tolerance after routine maintenance. What should I do?+
Register drift post-maintenance typically indicates either servo motor encoder reference loss or PID loop tuning value corruption in your EPC controller. Contact Synchronics technical support—our engineers will perform remote diagnostics via pressure sensor and register measurement data you provide. We often resolve this with firmware parameter reset and encoder recalibration done on-site. If onsite visit is needed, Synchronics maintains engineer network across Indian manufacturing hubs with same-day response to critical press failures.
Does Synchronics offer preventive maintenance contracts for Gallus printing press electronics?+
Yes. Synchronics offers annual and tri-annual preventive maintenance contracts for Gallus installations covering EPC controller firmware updates, encoder calibration verification, servo drive performance baseline testing, HMI panel diagnostics, and pneumatic solenoid function check. Contracts include spare parts discount (15-20%), priority emergency support, and detailed maintenance reports. This is ideal for Indian converters running multi-shift operations where unexpected press downtime directly impacts delivery commitments. Request a customized maintenance proposal from our sales team.
How do I send my GALLUS unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a GALLUS drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on GALLUS repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your GALLUS unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
