GRECON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full GRECON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
GRECON Optiscan
High-speed optical scanning and thickness measurement systems for real-time log and board profiling. Common issues include optical sensor contamination, calibration drift, communication protocol errors with main PLC, and LED light source degradation affecting measurement accuracy.
GRECON ThicknessControl
Precision thickness measurement and feed control modules integrated with sawmill automation. Typical faults include sensor head misalignment, analog signal conditioning failures, setpoint drift, and firmware corruption affecting thickness tolerance maintenance.
GRECON Control Modules
Industrial-grade embedded controllers and gateway modules managing sensor networks and mill automation logic. Common repair needs: Ethernet port failures, power supply issues, EEPROM data corruption, sensor input multiplexer failures, and relay output card burnout.
GRECON SortingAssist
Automated grading and sorting system controllers for optimization of timber quality classification and lumber segregation. Frequent issues: classification algorithm memory errors, sensor integration faults, output relay chattering, and loss of sorting parameter persistence.
GRECON Sensor Interfaces
Signal conditioning and interface modules for connecting multiple measurement heads to central control systems. Common faults: isolated power supply failures, analog-to-digital conversion errors, CAN/Profibus communication layer corruption, and surge damage from lightning or power transients.

Common GRECON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GRECON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Optical sensor head degradation and measurement drift — GRECON Optiscan sensors accumulate wood dust, resin, and moisture inside optical cavities over 3-5 years of sawmill operation. This reduces LED light intensity and causes threshold comparison errors, resulting in thickness readings drifting 2-5mm above true value. Indian humid and dusty mill environments accelerate this wear.
- ✓GRECON ControlMaster firmware corruption and boot loop — Power surges during thunderstorms or unstable generator operation in Indian mills cause EEPROM flash memory corruption in ControlMaster modules. Affected units enter infinite boot loop, display corrupted parameter values, or fail to load sorting/thickness profiles, halting mill operation entirely.
- ✓Ethernet and Profibus communication timeouts — GRECON sensor interfaces and control gateways suffer CAN/Profibus layer failures due to inadequate cable shielding in Indian mill floor installations with high EMI from motors and induction furnaces. Repeated communication errors cascade into measurement packet loss and system resets.
- ✓Analog sensor input multiplexer and ADC failures — GRECON ThicknessControl and sensor hub modules accumulate electrostatic damage and overvoltage spikes on multiplexer switch arrays and ADC inputs when multiple measurement heads operate in parallel. This causes sensor channels to go intermittent or report locked maximum values.
- ✓Relay output chattering and intermittent lumber sorter failures — GRECON SortingAssist control modules use electromechanical relays for lumber divert solenoid actuation. Coil inductance spikes and contact arcing degrade relay mechanical action within 2-3 years in high-frequency sorting environments typical of Indian plywood mills, causing erratic lumber routing.
- ✓Power supply module failure and voltage regulation collapse — GRECON embedded control modules use compact isolated DC-DC converters susceptible to capacitor degradation and thermal stress in high-ambient mill environments (40-50C in summer). Ripple voltage increases and regulation fails, causing microprocessor brownouts and data corruption.

Frequently Asked Questions — GRECON Repairs
Do you repair GRECON equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full GRECON product range — Optiscan measurement systems, ThicknessControl modules, ControlMaster gateways, SortingAssist controllers, and sensor interface hubs. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, and all other cities. Central repair facility in Vadodara, Gujarat with 180+ technicians ensures fast turnaround and expert diagnostics.
What causes GRECON Optiscan measurement accuracy to drift in Indian sawmills?+
GRECON optical sensors degrade rapidly in dusty, humid mill environments typical across India. Sawdust and wood resin accumulation inside the optical cavity reduces LED intensity by 20-30% within 3-5 years, causing thickness readings to drift 2-5mm high. Synchronics performs professional ultrasonic sensor cleaning, LED calibration, and full tolerance verification to restore GRECON measurement accuracy to factory specs of +/- 0.5mm.
My GRECON ControlMaster module shows corrupted parameters and won't boot. Can it be fixed?+
Yes. Power surges from monsoon lightning or unstable generators corrupt GRECON ControlMaster EEPROM flash memory, causing boot loops and lost sorting/thickness profiles. Synchronics uses specialized JTAG firmware recovery tools to restore original factory code and reprogram your stored parameter sets. We perform stability testing under load before return, with 100% success rate on firmware recovery.
Why does my GRECON sensor interface lose communication with the main PLC?+
High motor EMI and induction furnace interference in Indian mill floors damage GRECON Profibus/CAN interface isolation circuits. Poor cable shielding allows noise spikes to corrupt protocol packets. Synchronics tests and repairs opto-isolation stages, replaces failed interface ICs, and provides proper industrial shielded cable recommendations to prevent recurrence and restore reliable sensor data flow.
How long does GRECON equipment repair typically take at Synchronics?+
Most GRECON repairs complete within 5-7 working days including parts replacement, testing, and full validation. Critical failure cases (firmware corruption, sensor head refurbishment) may require 10-14 days. Synchronics offers express 48-hour turnaround for emergency mill shutdowns involving GRECON measurement or control system failures. Call our hotline for priority scheduling.
How do I send my GRECON 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 GRECON 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 GRECON 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 GRECON 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.
