Industrial Electronic Repair
Printed circuit boards are found in the smallest of electronic devices all the way to heavy industrial machinery. Attempting industrial electronic repair is rarely a cost effective job as there are multiple circuit boards that need to be dealt with which are often working together.
What To Look For When Hiring A Repair Company
• They should be well-known and credited but should offer feasible repair packages so that you can become a regular customer. If they have been in the market for several years they will already understand the importance of offering competitive rates.
• In industrial electronic repairs there is often flooding and short circuiting on a larger scale that causes damage. This means that it is not a few traces that need to be replaced but sometimes the entire board needs to be taken out.
• A professional is going to give you components and parts for your circuitry from established vendors and they will also bear in mind that the items should be the right type and preferably from the same manufacturer as your circuit boards.
• Testing equipment is another thing that a repair company can offer you. They carry out various electronic tests to check the viability of your system and to predict problems like loose wire connections which haven’t happened yet but will soon if they are not taken care of.
• You can expect a full-fledged warranty on replaced components and boards which you may or may not have gotten when you made your initial purchase.
Services You Can Expect
• If your control boards crack due overheating you will need to solder or weld them back into place rather than going for a costly overall replacement.
• Wiring replacement with copper components is also an important part of maintaining your industrial electrical system so that it lasts longer as wires do tend to oxidize and tarnish after some time.
• Both analog and digital circuit boards can be serviced.
• Temperature control is imperative for a fully functioning machine and a professional can offer certain solutions to keep your motherboard and other printed circuit boards from getting heated up constantly and shutting down.
• Physically damaged boards through flooding or other kinds of damage can also be repaired to restore the boards back to working order.
Causes Of Industrial Circuit Board Damage
• The first aspect you need to consider are natural factors such as lightning, storms and flooding which can cause major fluctuation and power surges which can damage virtually all types of equipment and industrial boards are definitely not immune to that.
• The other most common cause is defective manufacturing. Just because electrical components belong to a good or well known brand that does not mean they are free from human or manufacturing errors. These errors often cause short circuiting and electrical hazards and this is fairly common in industrial machinery since it is made up of so many components amassing a lot of space and functions.
