HUNTERLAB INC Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full HUNTERLAB INC product range. Below are the major product families we service.
ColorFlex Series
Portable spectrophotometric colorimeters used for in-line and offline color measurement. Common issues include light source degradation, optical window contamination, and calibration drift affecting color Delta E accuracy.
UltraScan Series
High-precision laboratory spectrophotometers for surface and liquid color analysis. Frequently experience xenon lamp failure, integrating sphere misalignment, and detector sensitivity loss requiring recalibration.
LabScan Series
Benchtop spectroscopic instruments for research and QC applications. Common faults include software driver incompatibility with modern Windows systems, USB communication failures, and wavelength calibration errors.
Hunter Associates Laboratory Software Suite
Color management and data acquisition software for HunterLab instruments. Issues range from database corruption, network connectivity problems, to legacy Windows XP/7 compatibility requiring OS migration and software reconfiguration.
Optical Sensor Modules
Replacement and refurbished optical components including pulsed xenon flash tubes, tungsten halogen bulbs, silicon detectors, and filter wheels. Sensor degradation directly impacts color measurement accuracy and repeatability in production lines.

Common HUNTERLAB INC Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in HUNTERLAB INC equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Light source lamp failure or degradation — HunterLab pulsed xenon flash tubes and tungsten-halogen lamps have finite lifespans (typically 1000-5000 hours). In Indian textile mills and paint plants running 24/7 operations, lamps degrade faster, causing color measurement errors and instrument shutdown.
- ✓Optical window and integrating sphere contamination — Dust, moisture, and chemical vapor from dye houses, paint mixing facilities, and plastic extrusion plants settle on HunterLab optical surfaces. This degrades light transmission and causes systematic color measurement drift and reduced Delta E accuracy.
- ✓Colorimeter calibration drift and Delta E errors — Environmental temperature fluctuations in uncontrolled Indian manufacturing facilities, age-related detector sensitivity loss, and inadequate preventive maintenance cause HunterLab instruments to drift beyond tolerance limits, affecting color batch acceptance decisions.
- ✓USB communication and driver failure — HunterLab instruments using legacy USB 1.1/2.0 interfaces and Windows XP/7 drivers fail when connected to modern computers. Indian pharmaceutical and cosmetic plants migrating to new IT infrastructure often encounter communication timeouts and device recognition failures.
- ✓Software database corruption and data loss — Power failures, improper shutdowns, and network interruptions during color standard updates or batch uploads corrupt HunterLab software databases (ColorLogic, EasyMatch QC). Indian plants with inconsistent power supply face frequent data recovery emergencies.
- ✓Detector sensitivity loss and wavelength calibration shift — Silicon photodiode detectors in HunterLab instruments degrade over time due to UV exposure and temperature cycling. In Indian textile finishing units exposed to natural daylight labs, wavelength calibration can shift 2-5 nm, causing incorrect color profile matching.

Frequently Asked Questions — HUNTERLAB INC Repairs
Do you repair HunterLab Inc equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full HunterLab product range including ColorFlex, UltraScan, and LabScan spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and optical sensor modules. We offer PAN India door-to-door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and all other industrial cities. All repairs are performed in our certified facility in Vadodara, Gujarat with 180+ trained engineers.
How do you handle HunterLab light source lamp replacements?+
Our technicians source OEM HunterLab xenon flash tubes and tungsten-halogen lamps and perform complete optical path realignment post-installation. We validate light output intensity and spectral distribution using calibrated sensors and recalibrate the entire instrument to restore color measurement accuracy within manufacturer tolerances. This ensures your production lines maintain batch-to-batch color consistency.
Can Synchronics recalibrate my HunterLab ColorFlex for Delta E accuracy?+
Absolutely. We perform full spectrophotometric recalibration using NIST-traceable calibration standards and certified reference materials. Our recalibration process accounts for ambient temperature and humidity conditions typical in Indian manufacturing facilities and provides documentation of spectral accuracy before and after repair, with valid calibration certificates.
What should I do if my HunterLab instrument shows USB communication errors?+
Contact Synchronics immediately. Legacy HunterLab instruments often fail with modern computers due to outdated USB drivers and firmware. We upgrade your instrument's firmware, install compatible drivers, and provide USB-to-serial adapter solutions if needed. For instruments over 10 years old, we can migrate data to modern platforms while preserving your historical color standards.
How often should HunterLab spectrophotometers be calibrated?+
HunterLab recommends quarterly calibration verification for production quality control and annual full recalibration for laboratory instruments. Synchronics recommends more frequent calibration (monthly) in Indian textile and paint plants with variable ambient conditions. We provide preventive maintenance contracts tailored to your facility's operational tempo and can set up onsite calibration verification systems for critical color matching processes.
How do I send my HUNTERLAB INC 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 HUNTERLAB INC 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 HUNTERLAB INC 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 HUNTERLAB INC 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.
