LECO Equipment We Repair — By Category
LECO Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full LECO product range. Below are the major product families we service.
LECO Combustion Analysers (CS/O/N Range)
High-temperature combustion systems for carbon, sulphur, oxygen, and nitrogen determination in metals and alloys. Common failures: furnace element burnout, thermocouple degradation, sample changer jamming, and gas flow sensor drift affecting measurement accuracy.
LECO Metallurgical Microscope Systems (DM Series)
Automated imaging and analysis systems for grain structure, hardness mapping, and defect detection in steel and cast iron. Typical repairs: optical alignment, image sensor malfunction, motorised stage failure, and software licensing issues.
LECO Inert Gas Fusion Analysers (IGF900/950)
Precision instruments for oxygen and nitrogen content analysis in refractory metals, ceramics, and high-purity materials. Frequent issues: inert gas flow regulator failure, platinum crucible degradation, detector noise, and temperature controller malfunction.
LECO Sulfur Analysers (SS Series)
Dedicated sulphur determination instruments for steel, iron ore, and non-ferrous alloys. Repair needs: IR detector contamination, combustion chamber carbon buildup, calibration drift, and pneumatic valve sticking.
LECO Furnace Control Electronics (FCS/Temperature Controllers)
Precision furnace control units managing temperature ramps, dwelling, and cooling cycles in analytical equipment. Common faults: thermocouple offset errors, PID loop instability, relay wear causing temperature overshoots, and calibration loss.

All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common LECO Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in LECO equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Furnace temperature reads erratically or drifts — Thermocouple contamination, platinum-rhodium alloy degradation at 1000-1350°C, or loose ceramic sheath causing intermittent contact. LECO analysers operate at extreme temperatures; thermal cycling corrodes thermocouple junctions.
- ✓Combustion analyser shows 'No Peak Detected' or baseline drift — IR or thermal conductivity detector contamination from combustion products, optical window fouling, or electronics board capacitor aging. LECO CS/O/N analysers are sensitive to trace gases and water vapour.
- ✓Sample changer or autoloader jams or operates erratically — Stepper motor encoder failure, mechanical binding from sample residue, or optical sensor misalignment in LECO automated sample feeders. Wear accelerates in high-throughput labs running 50+ samples/day.
- ✓Gas flow meter reads zero or incorrect gas dilution ratios — Mass flow controller clogging, regulator diaphragm rupture, or electronics board solenoid driver failure in LECO purge/carrier gas systems. Moisture and particle ingress from compressed air lines damage membrane regs.
- ✓Metallurgical microscope image is blurry, dark, or sensor shows 'No Signal' — CCD/CMOS sensor degradation, optical path misalignment after transport, objective lens fungus, or motorised stage position loss in LECO DM4000M systems. Mechanical vibration from mill floors loosens lens cells.
- ✓Inert Gas Fusion analyser shows low detector signal or noisy readings — Platinum crucible contamination with residual sample material, detector amplifier offset drift, or pulsed heating circuit capacitor failure in LECO IGF900 models used for refractory analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions — LECO Repairs
Do you repair LECO equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full LECO product range across India — combustion analysers, metallurgical microscopes, inert gas fusion systems, and furnace controls. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Surat, and tier-2 industrial towns. All repair work happens in our ISO-certified facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with turnaround typically 5-7 working days.
My LECO CS444 shows 'Calibration Error' on startup. Can you fix it without replacing the board?+
Usually yes. This error commonly stems from thermocouple offset loss, detector calibration data corruption, or a failed EEPROM on the control board. Synchronics first performs a clean factory calibration using LECO standard reference materials (iron powder, tungsten, or tin). If EEPROM is corrupted, we reprogram it from manufacturer backup files. Full recalibration and verification typically resolve the issue without board replacement, saving you cost.
What is the typical cost and timeline for LECO analyser repair?+
Cost depends on the fault. Simple calibration or sensor cleaning: Rs. 3,000-8,000, 2-3 days. Thermocouple or detector replacement: Rs. 8,000-15,000, 3-5 days. PCB repair or furnace element replacement: Rs. 15,000-40,000, 5-7 days. Synchronics provides free diagnostics and written quotation before any work begins. We also offer a 90-day warranty on all repairs and spare parts.
Do you stock LECO spare parts like thermocouples, detectors, and crucibles?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains inventory of common LECO consumables and modules: platinum thermocouples, IR/thermal conductivity detectors, combustion tubes, platinum crucibles, gas flow controllers, and heating elements. Lead time for parts is typically 1-2 weeks via USA or Europe distributors if we do not have stock. We always use genuine LECO-certified spares to maintain measurement accuracy and warranty compliance in your lab.
Can you recalibrate my LECO microscope system to IS or ISO standards?+
Yes. Our engineers are trained in LECO DM series calibration using certified reference standards. We verify magnification, optical resolution, image sensor linearity, and stage position repeatability against national lab standards. Synchronics issues a signed calibration certificate valid for 12 months, accepted by quality auditors in automotive, aerospace, and foundry sectors. This is essential for ISO/TS16949 and AS9100 compliance in India.
How do I send my LECO 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 LECO 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 LECO 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 LECO 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.
