ATELIER FRANCOIS Equipment We Repair — By Category
ATELIER FRANCOIS Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ATELIER FRANCOIS product range. Below are the major product families we service.
AF-MC Series Motion Controllers
Compact modular motion controllers for multi-axis positioning and synchronisation. Common faults include encoder signal loss, axis synchronisation errors, and parameter corruption during firmware updates.
AF-SD Servo Drives
Single and multi-axis servo drives designed for textile machinery and web-handling applications. Prone to thermal overload, phase-loss detection issues, and commutation failures under high-speed reversals.
AF-HMI Touch Interface Modules
Industrial touchscreen terminals with integrated PLC functions. Repair scope includes display corruption, communication breakdowns, and backup battery replacement.
AF-IO Modular I/O Expansion Units
Digital and analog input/output modules for distributed control architectures. Commonly suffer relay chatter, analog signal conditioning losses, and communication timeouts.
AF-PSU Industrial Power Supply Modules
Regulated 24V and 48V power supplies with integrated surge protection. Typical failures: electrolytic capacitor degradation, thermal shutdown triggering, and connector corrosion in humid textile factory environments.
Why Choose Synchronics for ATELIER FRANCOIS Repairs?
PCB-Level Expertise

6-Month Warranty
Every repaired unit ships with a 6-month comprehensive warranty on parts and labour. Our repair success rate is over 94% across all brands.
All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common ATELIER FRANCOIS Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ATELIER FRANCOIS equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Servo drive over-temperature shutdown during production — Atelier Francois drives in textile mills experience thermal stress from continuous reversals and inadequate heat dissipation. Heatsink fouling from airborne lint and fibres is the primary cause in Indian spinning and weaving plants.
- ✓Encoder signal loss or commutation error — AF-SD drives depend on clean encoder feedback. Vibration, moisture ingress, and loose connector terminals cause intermittent signal dropout on high-speed spindle applications common in Indian garment and home textile factories.
- ✓Motion controller loses slave axis synchronisation — AF-MC series controllers synchronise multiple servo axes for warp-let and fabric-width control. Phase errors accumulate when encoder resolution mismatches or communication latency exceeds 10ms in networked setups.
- ✓HMI touchscreen display flickering or unresponsive — AF-HMI modules experience power supply ripple issues and memory corruption from abrupt shutdowns in mills with unstable grid voltage. Indian industrial power quality variations trigger capacitor aging.
- ✓I/O module relay chatter or digital input chattering — AF-IO relay cards suffer contact erosion from load inrush currents and high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) in spinning mills and dyeing units using variable frequency drives nearby.
- ✓Power supply module fails to provide regulated output voltage — AF-PSU modules degrade due to electrolytic capacitor dry-out in hot, humid textile factory climates. Moisture condensation on PCBs and connector corrosion from ammonia fumes in dye houses accelerate component failure.

Frequently Asked Questions — ATELIER FRANCOIS Repairs
Do you repair Atelier Francois equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Atelier Francois product range across India. We handle servo drives (AF-SD series), motion controllers (AF-MC), HMI touchscreens, I/O modules, and power supplies. We offer PAN-India pickup and courier from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all major cities. All repairs are completed in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility.
What is the typical turnaround time for Atelier Francois servo drive repair?+
AF-SD servo drive repairs typically take 5-7 working days from receipt. Urgent repairs can be expedited to 3 days if the fault is straightforward (e.g., connector re-crimping or firmware reload). Complex issues like encoder circuit rebuilds or mosfet failures require 7-10 days. We provide daily updates and offer express courier for urgent returns to keep your production running.
Can you repair Atelier Francois motion controllers with parameter lock or corrupted firmware?+
Yes. Synchronics has specialised tools to unlock AF-MC parameter memory and re-flash the controller with fresh firmware from Atelier Francois backups or extracted configurations. If your original parameter backup is lost, we work with your mill's technical team to re-engineer control logic from documentation. We test all parameter changes in our servo test lab before shipping.
Why do Atelier Francois HMI touchscreens fail in Indian textile mills?+
Atelier Francois HMI modules suffer high failure rates in Indian textile and dye house environments due to: (1) unstable AC grid voltage causing power supply capacitor wear, (2) ammonia and alkali fumes corroding connectors and PCB traces, (3) extreme heat and humidity accelerating electrolytic capacitor dry-out, and (4) dust and lint ingress blocking cooling vents. Synchronics repairs address root causes by installing external voltage stabilisers, applying protective conformal coatings, and upgrading to industrial-grade capacitors.
Do you stock Atelier Francois spare parts or only offer repair service?+
Synchronics primarily offers complete repair and refurbishment of Atelier Francois equipment. We source replacement components (capacitors, relays, connectors, thermal pads) as needed during repair. For common wear items like backup batteries, thermal paste, and shield cables, we maintain stock and can supply separately. For full module replacements (e.g., encoder modules or power stage cards), we recommend contacting Atelier Francois' Indian distributor or Synchronics sales for sourcing options.
How do I send my ATELIER FRANCOIS 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 ATELIER FRANCOIS 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 ATELIER FRANCOIS 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 ATELIER FRANCOIS 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.
