AKA Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full AKA product range. Below are the major product families we service.
AKA Frequency Converters
Three-phase AC inverters with integrated EMC filters and braking units. Common issues include capacitor failure under high ambient temperatures, cooling fan malfunction in dusty mill environments, and IGBT module delamination from thermal stress.
AKA Soft Starters
Electronic motor starters reducing inrush current for large induction motors. Typical faults include thyristor gate-drive circuit failure, current transformer saturation in cement grinding applications, and power terminal corrosion in humid coastal installations.
AKA Control Modules
Programmable logic controllers and automation interface units for process control. Repair focus includes microprocessor faults, EEPROM data corruption, I/O module short circuits, and communication bus failures in networked mill environments.
AKA Servo Drives
Closed-loop servo amplifiers for precision motion control in textile machinery and packaging lines. Common defects include encoder interface circuit failure, current feedback loop instability, and firmware corruption requiring specialized re-programming.
AKA Regenerative Braking Units
DC bus stabilization and energy recovery modules for high-power conveyor and crane applications. Failure modes include discharge resistor burnout, DC link capacitor swelling, and control logic malfunction during emergency stop sequences.

Common AKA Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in AKA equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓AKA FK series capacitor bank failure — Electrolytic capacitors in the DC link are subject to rapid aging in Indian textile mills where ambient temperatures exceed 45C and humidity promotes corrosion of aluminum casing. Vibration from heavy machinery accelerates internal foil degradation.
- ✓AKA soft starter phase loss and single-phase fault — In Indian cement and aggregate plants, inadequate power distribution maintenance allows phase imbalance and intermittent neutral loss. AKA AS series thyristor gate circuits are sensitive to supply voltage distortion above 15% THD.
- ✓AKA servo drive encoder communication loss — In textile spinning mills, high EMI from motor starters and long encoder cables without shielding cause intermittent SSI/CANopen signal degradation. Connector corrosion is common near dyeing vats with salt spray exposure.
- ✓AKA frequency converter IGBT module delamination — Rapid thermal cycling in air-cooled FK series units mounted near hot steel mills causes solder fatigue at the baseplate interface. Poor thermal interface material application during manufacturing is a contributing factor.
- ✓AKA control module EEPROM data corruption — Power interruptions during firmware upload or extended operation in EMI-heavy environments (induction furnaces, welding shops) corrupt the non-volatile memory. Voltage sag below 10.8V during write cycles is the primary trigger.
- ✓AKA regenerative braking unit discharge resistor overheat — Undersized braking resistor for continuous duty in high-frequency lifting operations (especially in Indian automotive foundries) causes thermal runaway. Control logic failures prevent proper duty cycle limiting.

Frequently Asked Questions — AKA Repairs
Do you repair AKA drives and converters at your Vadodara facility?+
Yes, absolutely. Synchronics has repaired AKA frequency converters, soft starters, servo drives, and control modules for over 15 years. Our Vadodara facility houses specialized test benches for AKA three-phase inverters and closed-loop servo systems. We also offer free PAN-India pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and all metros.
How do I identify if my AKA converter has a genuine IGBT failure vs. gate driver fault?+
AKA IGBT failures typically show phase-to-phase short with continuous 'over-current' fault codes, while gate driver faults often display intermittent three-phase current imbalance or single-phase shutdown. Synchronics uses curve tracer and high-voltage diode testers to confirm IGBT junction integrity before committing to replacement. We test both in-circuit and out-of-circuit to rule out snubber circuit issues.
What is the typical turnaround time for AKA drive repair at Synchronics?+
Standard AKA repair (capacitor replacement, connector refurbishment, firmware reload) takes 5-7 working days. Complex IGBT module or servo encoder repairs may require 10-14 days due to extended thermal cycling tests. We offer express turnaround (3-5 days) for critical mill shutdowns; contact our Vadodara office for availability and priority service rates.
Can Synchronics repair AKA soft starters that have thyristor gate circuit damage from power surges?+
Yes. AKA AS series soft starters commonly fail at the gate drive transformer and optocoupler stage due to lightning or capacitor bank switching transients. Synchronics stocks gate driver ICs and isolation transformers compatible with AKA architectures. We also retrofit surge suppression modules and recommend site-level varistor banks to prevent recurrence in vulnerable installations.
Do you provide spare parts for AKA equipment, or only repair services?+
Synchronics primarily provides repair and restoration services. However, we maintain a stock of common AKA spare components (capacitors, thermal modules, connectors, cooling fans) for repairs performed in-house. For OEM spare parts and new AKA equipment, we recommend contacting AKA's authorized Indian distributors. We can advise on parts compatibility if you are sourcing independently.
How do I send my AKA 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 AKA 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 AKA 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 AKA 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.
