ARDETEM Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ARDETEM product range. Below are the major product families we service.
ARDETEM Servo Amplifiers (SD-Series)
High-performance servo drive modules for closed-loop motor control in precision positioning applications. Common failures include capacitor degradation, encoder signal loss, and thermal runaway in the power stage. Repair requires specialist oscilloscope diagnostics and servo tuning expertise.
ARDETEM Stepper Motor Drivers (ST-Series)
Step/direction stepper controllers for open-loop positioning in textile, printing, and packaging machinery. Frequent faults include microstepping resolution errors, overcurrent shutdown, and phase winding shorts. These drivers demand precision repair and recalibration.
ARDETEM Motion Controllers (MC-Series)
Programmable logic-based motion sequencers for multi-axis machine control. Typical issues are firmware corruption, analog input offset drift, and relay coil failure. Synchronics restores controller functionality with complete firmware verification.
ARDETEM Encoder Interface Modules (ENC-Series)
Feedback signal conditioners for incremental and absolute rotary encoders. Common defects include biasing circuit failure, signal integrity loss, and connector pin corrosion. These modules require precision testing with reference encoders.
ARDETEM Spindle Drive Modules (SPD-Series)
Specialized high-frequency drives for machine tool spindle motors up to 10 kW. Failures stem from thermal cycling in spindle bearings, PWM coupling noise, and speed sensor intermittency. Repair includes spindle load testing and thermal profiling.

Common ARDETEM Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ARDETEM equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Servo amplifier output stage thermal shutdown — ARDETEM servo drives use high-power MOSFETs that fail when junction temperature exceeds 120°C. Thermal shutdown occurs due to inadequate heatsink contact, dried thermal compound, or excessive peak current during acceleration transients.
- ✓Encoder signal intermittency or loss of feedback — ARDETEM servo systems rely on encoder feedback for closed-loop stability. Intermittent encoder signals arise from corroded M23 connectors, shielded cable abrasion, or failing encoder output circuitry. Loss of signal triggers immediate servo fault and machine halt.
- ✓Stepper driver phase winding short or open circuit — ARDETEM stepper drivers deliver square-wave currents up to 20 A per phase. Winding shorts occur from insulation breakdown under thermal stress, transient overvoltage, or mechanical bearing jam causing excessive back-EMF. Open circuits result from fractured PCB traces or failed power transistor gates.
- ✓Motion controller firmware corruption or boot failure — ARDETEM MC-series controllers store sequencing logic in flash memory. Firmware corruption occurs from incomplete parameter uploads, power loss during reprogramming, or electrostatic discharge during maintenance. Failed boot sequences leave machines unable to execute motion profiles.
- ✓Capacitor bloat or electrolyte leakage in power supply stage — ARDETEM drives use electrolytic capacitors in bulk DC storage that degrade under thermal cycling and electrical stress. Bloat occurs when internal gas pressure exceeds housing rating — common in hot factory floors above 50°C ambient. Electrolyte leakage damages PCB traces and adjacent components.
- ✓Analog input channel offset drift causing incorrect positioning — ARDETEM motion controllers use precision 12-bit ADC channels that reference a thermal-sensitive analog circuit. Temperature drift in reference circuits and op-amp bias currents cause 0-10 V command signals to misinterpret, leading to cumulative position errors across shift cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions — ARDETEM Repairs
Do you repair ARDETEM equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full ARDETEM product range — servo drives, stepper drivers, motion controllers, encoder modules, and spindle drive systems. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all other cities. Complete repairs and testing happen in our Vadodara facility within 5-7 working days. We provide comprehensive service reports and return with warranty.
How do ARDETEM servo drives differ from ABB or Siemens in repair complexity?+
ARDETEM servo amplifiers use proprietary closed-loop control algorithms and encoder feedback architectures distinct from ABB or Siemens standards. Our engineers maintain dedicated test benches calibrated specifically for ARDETEM servo tuning, encoder validation, and phase-current profiling. We do not attempt cross-brand repairs — each ARDETEM drive is serviced on ARDETEM-specific equipment to ensure accuracy.
What is the typical cost and turnaround for ARDETEM servo drive repair?+
ARDETEM servo drive repair typically costs 30-50% of replacement cost depending on fault severity. Standard turnaround is 5-7 working days including full diagnostics, component replacement, and thermal validation. Urgent repairs with priority handling complete in 2-3 days. We provide transparent quotes before work begins and source OEM-equivalent replacement capacitors, MOSFETs, and connectors.
Do you stock spare parts for ARDETEM motion controllers and stepper drivers?+
Synchronics maintains inventory of high-demand ARDETEM replacement modules including servo amplifier power stages, stepper driver control cards, encoder interface boards, and bulk electrolytic capacitors rated for industrial temperature ranges. We also keep genuine M23 connector kits and shielded encoder cable stock. For specialized components, we source directly from ARDETEM distributors with 3-5 day lead time.
Can you repair ARDETEM encoder modules if the internal amplifier circuit is faulty?+
Yes. ARDETEM encoder interface modules use precision op-amp circuits and signal conditioning stages that we can fully restore. If the output amplifier fails or biasing circuits drift, we replace individual IC packages and recalibrate signal levels using reference encoders. We then perform full linearity testing across incremental and absolute encoder protocols to verify accuracy within specification.
How do I send my ARDETEM 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 ARDETEM 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 ARDETEM 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 ARDETEM 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.
