In the machine tool manufacturing industry, the difference lies not only in mechanical precision, but also in the quality and reliability of electronic control systems. For manufacturers who aim to deliver high performance, operational safety, and continuous innovation, partnering with an expert in custom industrial automation electronics is a strategic choice.
Sertech Elettronica is that partner.
1. Custom electronic design for machine tools
Every machine tool has its own specifications, and every manufacturer has different requirements: number of axes, motion control logic, interface needs, communication protocols, space and power constraints. Sertech responds to this complexity by offering custom-designed and manufactured electronics.
We develop:
-
Control boards for managing linear axes, spindles, pumps, and actuators
-
Custom HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces) with displays, function keys, and industrial connectivity
-
Configurable digital and analog I/O modules
-
Safety signal management boards, compliant with ISO and CEI standards
Each project is developed in close collaboration with the customer’s technical team, ensuring mechatronic integration, cost optimization, and maximum operational reliability.
2. Performance, reliability, and compatibility with PLCs and CNCs
Our electronics integrate seamlessly with major industrial automation systems, including PLCs, CNCs, motion control systems, and SCADA platforms. Compatibility with industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP, CANopen, EtherCAT, and Profinet allows machine builders to offer modern, scalable solutions ready for Industry 4.0 integration.
Our experience with mixed-signal and power management enables us to create robust circuits protected against overvoltages, interference, and environmental noise – essential for the demanding conditions of machine tool applications.
3. Integrated safety and regulatory compliance
Machine tool builders must ensure compliance with strict European functional safety standards. Sertech designs electronics with emergency logic, integrated diagnostics, continuity checks, and fail-safe circuits, in full accordance with the latest directives and standards:
-
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
-
EU Regulation 2023/1230 (the new Machinery Regulation, effective from January 2027)
-
CEI EN 60204-1 for electrical safety in machinery
-
ISO 13849-1 / IEC 62061 for PL and SIL safety levels
We offer solutions with integrated safety modules for managing light curtains, emergency stops, mechanical interlocks, and position sensors. The result is a safe, certifiable machine ready for international markets.
4. Technical support and industrialization
Our service doesn’t stop at board design. We also support customers through prototyping, validation, and industrialization.
Thanks to a proven workflow, Sertech ensures:
-
Predictable development times
-
Scalable and on-time supply
-
Direct technical support
-
Full technical documentation for CE marking
We operate within a certified supply chain, working with local partners for sourcing and assembly, ensuring quality, traceability, and production flexibility.
5. A Partnership for innovation
Sertech is more than a supplier of electronic boards — we’re a technology partner that grows alongside our clients. Each project adds to our proprietary know-how, sector expertise, and competitive value.
