FADAL Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full FADAL product range. Below are the major product families we service.
FADAL VMC (Vertical Machining Centre) Control Systems
Proprietary FADAL control boards and servo drive modules for VMC spindle operation, axis positioning, and tool changers. Common failures include servo amplifier thermal shutdown, spindle overcurrent faults, and control board ROM/EPROM corruption leading to machine lockout.
FADAL Servo Drive and Amplifier Modules
AC servo drives and stepper motor amplifiers powering X, Y, Z axis motors and spindle motors. Repair targets include burnt power transistors, failed capacitors, encoder communication loss, and gain adjustment errors causing axis drift or jerky motion.
FADAL CNC Control Interface and Communication
RS-232 serial interface cards, parallel port modules, and proprietary control software ROM chips. Failures manifest as no machine response to control input, communication timeouts, program load errors, or axis non-response.
FADAL Spindle Motor and Bearing Assembly
High-speed spindle motors (up to 12,000 RPM) with ceramic or ball bearings. Electronic failures include cooling fan motor burnout, temperature sensor faults, and bearing overload shutdown triggered by misalignment or lubrication failure.
FADAL Electrical Cabinet Power Supply Units
Industrial switching power supplies (24 VDC, 48 VDC, 300 VDC rail supplies) feeding control logic and servo modules. Common issues: output voltage drift, no load output, electrolytic capacitor drying, transformer short-circuit.

Common FADAL Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in FADAL equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Spindle servo overcurrent and thermal shutdown — FADAL spindle servo amplifiers fail due to bearing friction increase, spindle belt slippage, or worn motor commutators causing excess current draw. Thermal overload relay trips, stopping spindle rotation mid-cycle and locking the machine.
- ✓Axis servo position lag and creeping motion — FADAL servo encoder communication loss or gain calibration drift causes servo loop instability. Motor oscillates or drifts during positioning, leading to positional accuracy loss and tool breakage. Capacitors in servo feedback circuit degrade causing encoder signal loss.
- ✓Control board ROM corruption and machine lockout — Power supply brown-out during ROM download, or repeated power cycling, corrupts FADAL proprietary control ROM. Machine powers on but displays no boot screen, axis lights remain dark, and no control input registers on the panel.
- ✓RS-232 communication failure and control unresponsiveness — FADAL interface module suffers electrostatic damage, corrosion on serial connectors, or failed line driver IC preventing handshake between CNC computer and machine control. Machine goes offline or refuses remote DNC program transfer.
- ✓Power supply output voltage collapse and intermittent machine shutdown — FADAL cabinet power supply units experience capacitor dry-out (especially 48 VDC logic supply), diode bridge failure, or transformer layer short-circuit. Output voltage sags under load, causing intermittent servo faults, display flicker, and random axis stall.
- ✓Tool changer mechanical and electrical jamming — FADAL automatic tool changer control relay sticks or solenoid coil opens, preventing tool carousel rotation. Motor may hum but carousel does not index. Worn mechanical linkages or sensor misalignment trigger changer fault code.

Frequently Asked Questions — FADAL Repairs
Do you repair FADAL equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete FADAL control electronics and drive range — servo amplifiers, spindle drives, control boards, power supplies, and interface modules. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all other industrial cities. Equipment is serviced at our fully equipped 18,000 sq ft facility in Vadodara, Gujarat with fast turnaround (typically 5-7 working days).
What is the typical repair cost for FADAL servo amplifier failure?+
FADAL servo amplifier repair typically ranges from INR 8,000 to 18,000 depending on whether the fault is a blown power transistor (lower cost) or a multi-layer PCB copper trace burn or IC chip failure (higher cost). Synchronics provides free fault diagnosis and quotation within 24 hours of receipt. We also offer outright board replacement at competitive prices if board repair is not economical.
Can Synchronics repair FADAL spindle motor overcurrent faults without replacing the entire motor?+
Yes, in most cases. We troubleshoot spindle servo amplifier power stage, test motor commutator resistance, inspect spindle bearing preload, and clean cooling fan blockages. Typical spindle overcurrent is amplifier thermal protection — we replace burnt MOSFETs and recalibrate current limiting to restore spindle operation. Full motor replacement is needed only if motor winding is shorted (rare). Our repair success rate for FADAL spindle faults exceeds 85% without motor swap.
How do I know if my FADAL machine has a control board ROM failure?+
Classic ROM failure signs: machine powers on but no boot message appears on control display; axis direction lights do not illuminate; machine does not respond to jog or manual commands; or display shows garbled text. FADAL ROM corruption typically follows power loss during control board download or repeated brown-outs. Contact Synchronics immediately with your machine model and serial number — we can extract your ROM, backup the corrupted contents, and program replacement ROM from our stored FADAL image library.
Does Synchronics offer FADAL spindle motor rewinding in-house?+
Synchronics does not perform spindle motor rewinding in-house; however, we maintain relationships with certified spindle motor shops in Vadodara and Mumbai for armature rewinding when needed. Most FADAL spindle faults are servo amplifier or bearing-related (not winding-related). We diagnose motor winding integrity using megohm resistance testing before recommending rewinding. For minor motor issues, we repair servo electronics instead — saving you 40-50% on repair cost versus motor replacement.
How do I send my FADAL 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 FADAL 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 FADAL 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 FADAL 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.
