INFICON Equipment We Repair — By Category
INFICON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full INFICON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Leak Detectors (Portable & Benchtop)
INFICON helium and halogenated refrigerant leak detectors used in HVAC service, industrial refrigeration, and semiconductor process control. Common faults include sensor degradation, pump failure, and calibration drift affecting detection sensitivity.
Vacuum Gauges & Manometers
Capacitive and resistive vacuum measurement instruments for process monitoring in pharmaceutical vials, medical device packaging, and semiconductor wafer processing. Faults include sensing element failure, display malfunction, and output signal loss.
Residual Gas Analysers (RGA)
Benchtop and inline mass spectrometry instruments for process gas analysis in semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical drying, and vacuum chamber characterization. Common failures include filament burnout, ion source degradation, and detector signal noise.
Process Control & Software Modules
PLC interfaces, analogue transmitters, and software controllers integrating INFICON sensors into manufacturing automation systems. Issues include communication protocol failures, output scaling errors, and calibration data loss.

Common INFICON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in INFICON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Leak detector pump motor failure — INFICON leak detectors use brushed DC or AC pump motors that degrade from continuous operation or humidity ingress. Motor windings short or carbon brushes wear, reducing airflow and detection sensitivity below specification.
- ✓Vacuum gauge sensing element degradation — INFICON capacitive manometers expose sensing diaphragms to corrosive or particulate process gases. Over months, sensor capacitance drifts, zero offset increases, or span becomes non-linear, causing measurement errors across the 1-1000 mbar range.
- ✓RGA filament burnout and no signal — Residual gas analysers in INFICON quadrupole instruments operate tungsten or thoriated iridium filaments at high temperature. Filament breakage occurs from voltage spikes, filament fatigue, or contamination, resulting in zero ion current and inability to detect any gases.
- ✓Display malfunction or reading freeze — INFICON vacuum instruments use LCD or LED displays with embedded microcontrollers and 4-20mA analogue input circuits. Display driver IC failure, memory corruption, or analogue-to-digital converter faults cause frozen readings, blank screens, or erratic display updates.
- ✓Calibration data loss or output scaling error — INFICON instruments store calibration curves and scaling data in EEPROM memory. Data corruption from power surges, ESD, or firmware crashes causes 4-20mA outputs to read wildly out of scale or calibration curves to reset to factory defaults.
- ✓Sensor cable connector corrosion or signal loss — INFICON process gauges and analysers use multi-pin connectors exposed to humid plant environments or chemical vapours. Connector pins oxidize, causing intermittent signal loss, communication dropouts, or complete sensor read failure in critical manufacturing lines.

Frequently Asked Questions — INFICON Repairs
Do you repair INFICON equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete INFICON product range — leak detectors, vacuum gauges, residual gas analysers, and process control modules. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, and all metro and tier-2 cities. All instruments are serviced at our ISO 9001-certified facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with express turnaround available for critical production lines.
Can you recalibrate INFICON vacuum gauges to NIST or international standards?+
Absolutely. Synchronics performs full calibration of INFICON manometers, leak detectors, and analysers against NIST-traceable reference standards using our own metrological laboratory. We issue ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration certificates with uncertainty statements. Recalibration ensures your instruments meet pharmaceutical GMP, semiconductor process control, and aerospace inspection compliance requirements.
What is the typical turnaround for INFICON leak detector repair?+
Standard repair turnaround for INFICON D-TEK and Tracer series leak detectors is 5-7 working days, including pump motor diagnosis, cleaning, sensitivity testing, and recalibration. Urgent cases can be prioritized for 48-hour turnaround if components are in stock. We offer loaner units and emergency on-site repair for critical production shutdowns at pharmaceutical and semiconductor facilities.
How much does it cost to repair an INFICON RGA (residual gas analyser)?+
INFICON RGA repair costs depend on fault severity: filament replacement + tuning runs INR 12,000-18,000; ion source rebuild INR 18,000-28,000; full electronics replacement INR 25,000-40,000. We provide detailed quotations after bench diagnostics. Many pharmaceutical and semiconductor customers find Synchronics repair 40-60% cheaper than factory service while maintaining OEM compatibility and calibration traceability.
Do you stock INFICON spare parts and sensor cartridges?+
Yes, Synchronics maintains inventory of common INFICON consumables including filament cartridges, sensor elements, pump motors, display panels, and cable assemblies. Lead times for hard-to-stock items are 10-14 days via our authorized distributors. We prioritize fast parts availability to minimize your production downtime, especially for pharmaceutical packaging and semiconductor process lines.
How do I send my INFICON 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 INFICON 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 INFICON 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 INFICON 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.
