AKAB Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full AKAB product range. Below are the major product families we service.
AKAB Frequency Drives
Three-phase variable frequency drives for AC motor speed control in industrial processes. Common issues include capacitor bank degradation, IGBT module failure under thermal stress, and firmware crashes in harsh factory environments.
AKAB Programmable Logic Controllers
Compact and modular PLCs designed for textile, sugar, and chemical industries. Typical faults include input-output card burnout, data memory corruption, and communication module failures due to voltage surges.
AKAB Soft Starters
Electronic motor starting devices that reduce mechanical and electrical stress on large induction motors. Common problems include thyristor gate circuit failure, control signal loss, and thermal sensor malfunction in high-ambient-temperature mills.
AKAB HMI Touch Panels
Industrial human-machine interface panels for real-time process monitoring and operator control. Repair needs include LCD display degradation, touchscreen sensor failure, communication gateway faults, and SD card data recovery.
AKAB Servo Motion Controllers
Precision motion control electronics for high-speed textile machinery and automated assembly lines. Failures stem from encoder interface faults, feedback loop instability, and resolver signal loss in vibration-heavy environments.

Common AKAB Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in AKAB equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Electrolytic capacitor bulging and leakage — AKAB frequency drive DC link capacitors degrade rapidly in high-ambient-temperature Indian textile mills and sugar factories. Long summers combined with inadequate ventilation cause premature aging and eventual electrolyte leakage, leading to power supply instability and drive shutdown.
- ✓IGBT module short-circuit and gate driver failure — AKAB FSV-series drives operating in dusty chemical and sugar plant environments suffer IGBT junction failure when moisture and particulate matter contaminate the module. Gate driver circuits particularly fail under voltage transient conditions common in Indian industrial power distribution networks.
- ✓PLC data memory corruption and boot failure — AKAB CP-series PLCs lose configuration data during power interruptions (common in Indian power grids) or after voltage spikes from unprotected switchgear. Corrupted EEPROM prevents the controller from initializing, halting production lines.
- ✓Soft starter thyristor gate circuit failure — AKAB SS-series soft starters lose gate pulse control due to optocoupler degradation or microcontroller corruption in high-humidity textile mills. This causes uncontrolled motor inrush currents and mechanical shock on spindle bearings and gearboxes.
- ✓HMI touch panel display degradation and unresponsive input — AKAB TP-series panels used in sugar mill control rooms experience LCD backlight failure after 3-5 years of continuous operation. Touchscreen sensors also drift or fail due to water ingress from steam and humidity in boiler areas.
- ✓Servo motion controller encoder signal loss and axis shutdown — AKAB MC-series motion controllers lose resolver or optical encoder signals in high-vibration textile weaving and twisting machinery. Vibration loosens connectors or damages feedback cable shielding, breaking the servo loop and halting automated positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions — AKAB Repairs
Do you repair AKAB equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics Electronics repairs the complete AKAB product range — frequency drives, PLCs, soft starters, HMI panels, and motion controllers. We offer pan-India door pickup and return logistics from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all other major cities. All repairs are performed in our central facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with 48-72 hour turnaround for most common faults.
What is the typical repair cost for an AKAB FSV frequency drive in India?+
AKAB FSV drive repair costs range from Rs 8,000-25,000 depending on fault severity. Capacitor replacement and power supply rebuilds cost Rs 8,000-12,000. IGBT module replacement with full load testing costs Rs 15,000-25,000. Synchronics provides upfront quotations after component-level diagnosis. Most repairs are more cost-effective than replacement in Indian manufacturing where equipment lead times exceed 8-12 weeks.
Can Synchronics recover data from a failed AKAB PLC or HMI panel?+
Yes. Our engineers extract firmware and configuration data from failed AKAB CP-series PLCs and TP-series HMI panels using specialized EEPROM readers and backup recovery protocols. We rebuild corrupted memory sectors and restore production-critical application logic. This is invaluable for Indian manufacturers who lack documented backups and ensures minimal production downtime.
Why do AKAB soft starters fail in Indian sugar mills?+
AKAB SS-series soft starters in sugar mills fail due to three factors: (1) high ambient humidity and steam exposure causing optocoupler degradation, (2) voltage transients in unprotected Indian power grids damaging gate driver circuits, and (3) calcium dust contamination on PCB traces creating leakage paths. Synchronics replaces susceptible components, applies conformal coating, and recommends surge protection installation.
How long is the warranty on AKAB repairs from Synchronics?+
All AKAB repairs from Synchronics come with a 12-month comprehensive warranty covering components and workmanship. We provide 6-month warranty on replaced consumables like capacitors and cooling fans. For critical production equipment, we offer extended 24-month warranties on request. Field repairs and on-site commissioning support are available for large Indian manufacturing plants.
How do I send my AKAB 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 AKAB 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 AKAB 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 AKAB 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.
