FRANZ KROMEKE Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full FRANZ KROMEKE product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Kromeke DC Drive Systems
Thyristor-based DC drives for spindle motors, extruders, and pump applications. Common issues include armature winding insulation breakdown, field winding faults, and thyristor gate control circuit failures causing speed regulation loss.
Kromeke AC Frequency Converters
Three-phase AC inverters for induction motor speed control in pumps, fans, and conveyor systems. Typical faults involve capacitor degradation, IGBT module failure, and firmware corruption leading to fault code displays.
Kromeke Servo Drive Modules
Closed-loop servo amplifiers for positioning and synchronisation in textile looms and precision machinery. Repair demands include encoder interface faults, current loop instability, and commutation timing errors.
Kromeke Control Panels and Soft-Starters
Integrated control cabinets with soft-start modules for reduced inrush current and smooth motor acceleration. Common repairs involve contactor welding, control transformer short circuits, and soft-start capacitor failure.
Kromeke Regenerative Braking Modules
Energy recovery systems for hoists, elevators, and downward-running conveyor systems. Typical faults include diode bridge failures, braking resistor open circuits, and bus voltage regulation instability.

Common FRANZ KROMEKE Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in FRANZ KROMEKE equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓DC drive field winding open circuit — Continuous thermal stress from cooling fan blockage or ambient heat causes insulation cracking in Kromeke DC field coils. Poor ventilation in Indian humid climates accelerates this degradation.
- ✓AC inverter IGBT module thermal runaway — Electrolytic capacitor drying on the DC bus starves the IGBT gate drive circuit of sufficient voltage, causing switch-on delay and excessive power dissipation. Indian industrial ambient temperatures (35-45°C) accelerate capacitor aging in Kromeke units.
- ✓Servo encoder communication loss — Loose or corroded encoder connector pins, cable shield degradation, or internal encoder electronics failure prevents position feedback to the Kromeke servo amplifier, causing fault codes E-404 or E-406.
- ✓Soft-starter power contactor welding — Arc suppression capacitor failure or loose neutral connection causes sustained arc across the soft-starter contactor contacts during high-load transients, welding the movable arm to the fixed contact.
- ✓Drive over-temperature protection nuisance trips — Thermistor sensor contamination, loose RTD connection, or control board reference voltage drift causes premature thermal shutdown in Kromeke DC and AC drives even under normal load.
- ✓Regenerative braking resistor element open circuit — Mechanical vibration and thermal cycling in Kromeke KRB series braking resistor grids cause incremental wire fractures. Inadequate heat dissipation in blocked cabinet ventilation accelerates element failure.

Frequently Asked Questions — FRANZ KROMEKE Repairs
Do you repair Franz Kromeke equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes, Synchronics provides nationwide Franz Kromeke repair service. We accept equipment pickup from any city — Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and beyond. All repairs are performed in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility by engineers with certified expertise in Kromeke DC drives, AC inverters, servo systems, and soft-starters. Typical turnaround is 5-7 working days.
What should I do if my Franz Kromeke drive displays a fault code?+
Note the exact fault code and LED pattern on the drive display, then document recent operating conditions and any unusual sounds or overheating. Contact Synchronics with this information — we maintain a comprehensive Kromeke fault code database covering DC, AC, and servo models. Many codes (like E-401, E-404, E-501) can be diagnosed remotely and may indicate simple fixes such as encoder reconnection or capacitor replacement rather than full drive replacement.
Can Synchronics service Franz Kromeke equipment while we operate production?+
Absolutely. We maintain spare Kromeke DC drives, AC inverters, and servo modules in stock for immediate exchange. When you ship your faulty unit to us, we can despatch a refurbished equivalent unit within 24 hours, minimizing downtime. Once your original unit is repaired, we collect the loaned unit at no extra charge.
Do you repair Franz Kromeke soft-starters and regenerative braking modules?+
Yes. Kromeke soft-starters and KRB regenerative braking series are regularly serviced at Synchronics. These units require specialist component sourcing — particularly electrolytic capacitors, arc suppression capacitors, and braking resistor elements. We carry stock of these consumables and perform thermal cycling validation to ensure reliable operation under Indian ambient conditions.
What warranty do you provide on Franz Kromeke repairs?+
All repaired Franz Kromeke equipment carries a 12-month parts and labour warranty covering defects in our workmanship. For textile mills and high-duty applications, we offer extended 24-month warranty options with expedited replacement service. Every unit is tested under load before dispatch and arrives with a detailed repair report documenting root cause and components replaced.
How do I send my FRANZ KROMEKE 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 FRANZ KROMEKE 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 FRANZ KROMEKE 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 FRANZ KROMEKE 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.
