ACU-RITE Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ACU-RITE product range. Below are the major product families we service.
DRO Plus Digital Readout Systems
Acu-Rite's flagship DRO display units for manual mills, lathes, and grinders. Common failures include LCD/LED display burnout, encoder signal loss, and zero-point calibration drift. These systems are critical for holding tolerances in job shops and tool rooms.
Glass and Magnetic Linear Scales
High-resolution encoder scales used as feedback transducers in retrofit DRO kits and CNC conversions. Typical failures include contamination-induced signal noise, connector corrosion, and cable breaks near moving parts.
MillPWR and LatheePWR Control Systems
Integrated CNC retrofit controllers for manual machine tool conversion. Common repair issues include firmware corruption, stepper motor driver failure, and communication protocol errors with legacy machine interfaces.
Fixture Offset and Tool Offset Management Modules
Memory and storage units for tool length and fixture offset data. Failures stem from EEPROM degradation, battery backup exhaustion, and RS-232/USB interface failures in integration with older control systems.
Height Gauge and Rotary Position Indicators
Precision measurement accessories with digital display for setup and inspection work. Common faults include potentiometer wear, display segment failure, and transducer non-linearity after heavy industrial use.

Common ACU-RITE Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ACU-RITE equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓DRO display shows no readout or garbled characters — LCD/LED segment failure due to moisture ingress in machine shop environment, or internal display driver IC failure. Power supply stress from unshielded motors nearby can also degrade the display controller.
- ✓Encoder scale output signal intermittent or lost completely — Contamination (coolant, swarf, dust) on glass or magnetic scale surface breaks optical/magnetic coupling. Connector corrosion at scale-to-display cable junction is common in humid shop floors. Cable flexing near moving spindle breaks internal conductors.
- ✓DRO unit loses zero reference after power cycle or manual axis movement — EEPROM or non-volatile memory corruption storing calibration data. Battery-backed RAM exhaustion in older Acu-Rite units means stored offsets are lost. Firmware bug in position counter logic after extended machine tool use.
- ✓MillPWR stepper motor controller produces no output or stalls randomly — Stepper driver IC (often L297/L298 or modern equivalent) fails due to thermal stress or voltage spike. Limit switch debounce logic malfunction causes false stops. Microcontroller firmware crash from EMI interference near high-current machine spindles.
- ✓Height gauge or rotary indicator displays unstable readings or drifts off zero — Internal potentiometer contact wear from repeated measurement cycles in high-volume inspection work. Transducer linearity drift after thermal cycling or mechanical shock. Display amplifier IC offset calibration degradation.
- ✓USB or RS-232 communication fails between DRO and computer for data logging — Serial interface IC corruption (FTDI or similar USB-to-serial converter). Cable shielding degradation causes data packet errors. Windows driver incompatibility after OS updates on customer's PC.

Frequently Asked Questions — ACU-RITE Repairs
Do you repair Acu-Rite equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics Electronics repairs the full Acu-Rite product range — DRO systems, linear scales, MillPWR controllers, and measurement accessories. We offer PAN India door pickup and delivery from all major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Kolkata. Repairs are done in our Vadodara facility and typically completed within 7-10 working days.
My Acu-Rite DRO display shows no power light. What could be wrong?+
The issue is usually a failed power supply module inside the DRO unit, or a blown fuse/circuit breaker on the internal board. Synchronics tests the external power adapter first, then opens the DRO enclosure to inspect voltage regulators and capacitors. If the power board is faulty, we replace it and re-test before returning the unit. Many repairs are completed within 2-3 days.
Can Synchronics retrofit my old manual lathe with an Acu-Rite DRO system?+
Synchronics does not perform full installation of new DRO kits, but we do repair and troubleshoot existing Acu-Rite retrofit systems. If your lathe already has an Acu-Rite DRO installed, we can service the scales, display, and control electronics. We recommend contacting Acu-Rite directly or an authorized dealer for new kit installation and initial setup.
What is the typical cost and turnaround time for Acu-Rite DRO repair at Synchronics?+
Repair costs range from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 15,000 depending on the fault and component replacement needs. Display module failures typically cost Rs. 5,000-8,000; encoder scale cleaning and recalibration costs Rs. 2,000-3,500; controller board replacement costs Rs. 8,000-12,000. Turnaround is usually 7-10 working days. Urgent repairs can be expedited for a rush fee. We provide a detailed quote after inspection.
Are Acu-Rite repair parts available in India, or do we need to import them?+
Most common Acu-Rite replacement parts — display modules, encoder scales, connectors, batteries, and stepper drivers — are sourced through authorized Indian distributors or imported directly. Synchronics maintains relationships with Acu-Rite dealers and can source OEM parts quickly. For obsolete Acu-Rite models, we may use compatible third-party components or rebuild assemblies using quality parts.
How do I send my ACU-RITE 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 ACU-RITE 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 ACU-RITE 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 ACU-RITE 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.
