BURFORD Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full BURFORD product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Burford Stepper Motor Drives (SM Series)
Dedicated microstepping drivers for 2-phase and 3-phase stepper motors in textile looms, food packaging, and precision assembly lines. Common repairs: phase winding faults, microstepping resolution loss, encoder synchronisation failures, and capacitor bank degradation under thermal stress.
Burford Thyristor Power Packs (TPP Series)
High-current DC power supplies and phase-control thyristor units for wire drawing, electroplating, and heat treatment furnaces in Indian steel and metal processing. Repairs address thyristor gate drive faults, transformer winding shorts, rectifier bridge failures, and cooling system leaks.
Burford DC Motor Controllers (DMC Series)
Regenerative and non-regenerative DC motor control units for paper winding, printing machinery, and textile dyeing systems across Indian mills. Common issues: armature winding insulation breakdown, field contactor welding, speed feedback circuit failures, and thermal relay nuisance trips.
Burford Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC Range)
Compact and modular PLCs for process control in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. Frequent repairs: input/output module burnout, battery-backed memory corruption, Ethernet module dropout, and real-time clock failures.
Burford AC Variable Frequency Drives (AFD Series)
Sensorless and sensor-equipped AC drives for pump, fan, and compressor control in HVAC, water treatment, and process cooling applications. Typical faults: IGBT module failure, brake resistor open-circuit, encoder signal loss, and firmware corruption.
Burford Servo Amplifiers (SA Series)
Closed-loop servo control amplifiers for precision machine tools, injection moulding machines, and CNC lathes in Indian automotive and plastics sectors. Repair focus: Hall-effect sensor faults, proportional valve driver failures, position feedback drift, and thermal shutdown issues.

Common BURFORD Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in BURFORD equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Burford stepper drive phase output loss or stuttering — Microstepping power transistor array degradation, gate drive optocoupler failure, or PCB track fracture from thermal cycling. Stepper drives in high-vibration textile looms often suffer repeated thermal stress.
- ✓Thyristor gate trigger loss or erratic firing in TPP units — Gate drive transformer winding turn ratio drift, trigger optocoupler LED aging, or firing circuit capacitor leakage causing phase angle creep in zero-crossing detection circuits.
- ✓DC motor controller armature winding insulation short or open circuit — Prolonged thermal overload, mechanical brush dust contamination causing arcing on commutator bars, or moisture ingress in humid mill environments leading to insulation creepage failure.
- ✓Burford PLC battery-backed RAM memory corruption or data loss — Nickel-cadmium or lithium backup battery voltage droop below 2.5V, capacitor leakage near memory module, or firmware checksum corruption from power transients during industrial switchgear operation.
- ✓AFD variable frequency drive IGBT module thermal shutdown or output phase failure — Heat sink corrosion or dust accumulation reducing thermal conductivity, gate driver circuit supply collapse, or internal module copper track oxidation under tropical humidity in Indian manufacturing plants.
- ✓Servo amplifier Hall-effect sensor signal dropout or commutation fault error — Hall sensor magnet weakening or demagnetization in high-temperature injection mould cavities, loose connector on encoder feedback cable, or commutation decoder IC failure misreading rotor position.

Frequently Asked Questions — BURFORD Repairs
Do you repair Burford equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes, Synchronics repairs the full Burford product range—stepper motor drives, thyristor power packs, DC motor controllers, PLCs, servo amplifiers, and AC variable frequency drives. We offer door-to-door pickup and return across India from Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all industrial hubs. Repair work happens in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility. Same-day diagnostics available on arrival.
My Burford stepper motor drive is showing 'phase short' or 'open phase' errors. What causes this?+
Stepper drives detect phase faults by measuring output impedance. Root causes include burnt microstepping transistor arrays (most common), broken gate drive optocouplers, or PCB track fractures near power transistor bases. Textile mills in hot climates see repeated thermal cycling failures. Synchronics identifies the exact failed component via in-circuit testing, replaces it with compatible parts, and runs full stepper sequence verification before return.
How long does Burford equipment repair typically take at Synchronics?+
Stepper drives and servo amplifiers: 3-5 working days. AC and DC motor controllers: 4-7 working days. Thyristor power packs: 5-10 working days (longer due to transformer and cooling system checks). PLC repairs: 2-4 days. Urgent turnaround available for critical production lines; emergency 24-hour diagnostic report provided on request. All repairs include full functional test and burn-in validation.
Can you source genuine Burford spare parts if my equipment needs component replacement?+
Yes. Synchronics holds stock of commonly needed Burford components—optocouplers, gate drive transformers, power transistors, servo encoder connectors, and backup batteries. For obsolete or hard-to-find Burford parts, we coordinate with UK and European distributors and typically source within 7-10 working days. We also use tested equivalent industrial-grade components where Burford originals are no longer available.
What if my Burford PLC has a fault code I do not recognise?+
Email the fault code to Synchronics with your equipment model. Our engineering team cross-references Burford error codes against original documentation and provides troubleshooting steps. Common codes (e.g., 'watchdog timeout', 'battery low', 'IO module offline') are resolved within 24 hours. If hardware repair is needed, we diagnose and advise on repair timeline and cost before proceeding.
How do I send my BURFORD 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 BURFORD 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 BURFORD 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 BURFORD 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.
