CHROMALOCK Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CHROMALOCK product range. Below are the major product families we service.
CHROMALOCK Spectrophotometers
Precision laboratory and inline spectrophotometric instruments for color measurement, formulation, and quality control. Common issues: optical path contamination, photodiode array degradation, wavelength calibration drift, and LED light source aging affecting measurement accuracy.
CHROMALOCK Color Matching Systems
Integrated software and hardware platforms for textile, paint, and ink color recipe development and batch matching. Failures include database corruption, communication protocol errors, sensor synchronization loss, and control algorithm instability.
CHROMALOCK Inline Quality Monitors
Real-time fiber optic and reflectance-based color monitoring probes for production line integration. Typical faults: fiber optic coupling loss, photodetector degradation, signal conditioning circuit failures, and process interface communication breakdown.
CHROMALOCK Control Electronics
Dedicated control boards, PLC modules, and interface cards for CHROMALOCK sensor integration into production automation systems. Common failures: capacitor aging, relay contact oxidation, firmware corruption, and analog signal conditioning instability.
CHROMALOCK Optical Sensors and Probes
Replacement optical heads, photodiode arrays, LED modules, and calibration references. Repair involves sensor element testing, recalibration verification, and spectral response restoration.

Common CHROMALOCK Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CHROMALOCK equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Wavelength calibration drift beyond tolerance — CHROMALOCK spectrophotometers rely on precise optical grating and photodiode alignment. Thermal cycling, mechanical vibration in textile mills and printing facilities, and age-related optical coating degradation cause the measured wavelength peaks to shift. Dust contamination on optical surfaces accelerates this drift.
- ✓No measurement reading or sensor timeout error — CHROMALOCK color sensors fail to communicate or report null values due to photodiode open-circuit failure, broken fiber optic connections in inline probes, corroded connector pins, or damaged LED excitation modules. Communication protocol errors between the sensor head and control electronics can also trigger timeout states.
- ✓Color match database corruption or recipe loss — CHROMALOCK CMS software databases become corrupted due to unexpected power loss, controller firmware crashes, failed storage media, or incompatible software updates. Batch formula data and historical color standards may be lost, halting the ability to recall and reproduce critical color recipes in textile mills and printing plants.
- ✓Measurement instability or fluctuating color values — CHROMALOCK readings drift due to aging LED light sources losing output intensity, photodiode sensitivity degradation, loose fiber optic probe couplings, environmental thermal drift affecting optical refractive indices, or analog signal conditioning circuit component aging. In mill environments, humidity and temperature fluctuations are common culprits.
- ✓Control electronics reset or intermittent power loss — CHROMALOCK CCU (Color Control Unit) boards experience failures in electrolytic capacitors, power supply regulation circuits, relay contact oxidation, or firmware watchdog timer triggers. Electrical noise in textile mill power lines and inadequate surge protection exacerbate these issues.
- ✓Serial or Ethernet communication failure between sensor and PLC — CHROMALOCK sensor-to-controller communication failures arise from corroded RS-232/RS-485 connectors, damaged Ethernet cables in inline probe installations, firmware protocol mismatches after updates, or faulty signal isolation optocouplers on the control interface board. Electrically noisy mill environments degrade signal integrity.

All repairs are completed in our Vadodara facility with same-day diagnostics and typical 5-7 day turnaround.
How do you verify CHROMALOCK measurement accuracy after repair?+
Synchronics uses certified CHROMALOCK reference standards and calibration plates (D50, D65, A standard sources) to verify full spectral accuracy post-repair. We perform linearity testing across 380-700nm, check photodiode response uniformity, and deliver ISO-traceable calibration certificates documenting measurement accuracy within CHROMALOCK factory specifications. Your QA team can review certificates before accepting repairs.
What is the typical cost and timeline for CHROMALOCK sensor replacement?+
CHROMALOCK sensor module replacement costs range from 12,000 to 45,000 INR depending on probe type and configuration. Turnaround is typically 3-5 days including testing and calibration. Synchronics sources genuine CHROMALOCK modules and provides 12-month warranty on replaced components. We offer upfront quotations after diagnostics, with no hidden charges.
Can Synchronics recover lost color recipes from my CHROMALOCK CMS database?+
Yes. If your CHROMALOCK CMS system has lost color recipe data due to database corruption or hardware failure, Synchronics can attempt recovery using data recovery techniques. We can also help rebuild formulations from backup files if you retain them. For future protection, we recommend regular automated backups and redundant storage. Contact our technical team with details of your CMS model.
Do you offer preventive maintenance contracts for CHROMALOCK systems in Indian mills?+
Yes. Synchronics offers annual preventive maintenance contracts for CHROMALOCK systems in high-use textile, printing, and packaging environments.

What is the cost of repairing a CHROMALOCK 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 CHROMALOCK 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 CHROMALOCK 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.
