What do we fix?

David Bourke

In today’s electronically and machine fuelled world, having reliable electronic equipment is crucial for the day-to-day workflow for your business.

While your business may manage with lesser used machines and equipment, major issues with crucial electronic equipment can potentially be detrimental, due to unplanned downtime and a loss of productivity. As specialists in industrial electronic repair, our business understands these systems at a deep level. We have repaired over 15,000 pieces of electronic equipment from large scale CNC machines to dash clusters and control boards. No matter the type of equipment you have, chances are that there are similarities in how it operates. This ensures we can get in and repair your electronics, fast.

Here are a few examples of what we can repair:

1.      CNC Machines:

CNC machines are the backbone of many production lines in machine shops and factories. CNC control modules (or Computer Numerical Control) often fail due to electronic connectivity or faulty parts. These machines ensure that production lines and processes can run smoothly and efficiently with no downtime. Due to the nature of this, it can often bring an entire operation to a stand still. We specialise in the electronic repair for many types of CNC machines including Caterpillar, Fendt, Sandvik, Haas, MagnumForce, Volvo and more. Our service is essential to maintain productivity.

2.      Programmable Logic Controllers:

A Programmable Logic Controller (or PLC) is an industrialsized computer than is created to maintain control and efficiency ofmanufacturing processes. When a PLC fails, this can therefore bring a halt to productionprocesses. We’ve repaired PLC modules, systems that have lost their memory, batteryerrors and many more. These faults can often be fixed on the spot, or we’llhave to locate the appropriate parts to make it like-new again.

3.      Servo Motors and Drives:

Servo Motors and Drives ensure that machinery can operate with precision. They are set to a specific angle, position, velocity and acceleration to ensure this precision. They often fail due to electronic faults such as encoder issues and drive failures which can hinder the production lines. We’ve repaired servo motor assembly’s, AC servo drivers, control drives and more. Our specialist team will repair your servo motors and drives to that they are functioning at an optimum level.

These are just a few examples of what we repair, however, our electronic repair capabilities don’t stop there. Our deep understanding in how electronics function and operate means we can repair (almost) any piece of electronic equipment you may have. We’ve got a workshop on Ferry Road in Christchurch you can bring your electronic equipment to for us to diagnose. However, if your piece of machinery or equipment is too big, we can bring our mobile services van out to you.
