Oh, The Pain..The Misery…Your Drive Just Alarmed Out! Can It Be Saved?

Oh, the pain..the misery…the teeth gnashing and, oh yeah, the cursing!  Your drive just alarmed out, your equipment has stopped, production has ceased, and you are wasting time and money.  Can the drive be saved?  The good news is…probably

Before it comes to that scenario, consider this:  We all know HEAT is the root of all evil when it comes to electronic equipment.   Add some MOISTURE and DIRT and you have the electronic axis of evil and disaster!

So, practice prevention first by:

-  keeping your electrical cabinets CLOSED

-  keeping your FANS  in good REPAIR

-  making sure those cabinent FILTERS are always CLEAN


Reliability In Industrial Electronics Is King – Find Out What Else Ranks High With Plant Managers

Not surprisingly, reliability ranked the most important criteria in purchasing industrial electronics according to a recent survey by Plant Engineering & Maintenance. 

Reliability was followed, in descending order, by quality, safety, maintenance, service, price, throughput, technology, noise, speed, and “green”.

Maintenance ranked 4th out of 11 so we know it’s pretty high on your list.  Nobody wants equipment that is difficult or excessively expensive to maintain.  Downtime is lost time and lost time is lost money.  

Save money in the long run by purchasing quality industrial electronic equipment with a good warranty.  And when that warranty runs out, or the OEM does not provide responsive service, send your repairs to a reliable expert. 


ACS Industrial Services To The Rescue….Providing Expert, Fast Baldor Servo Drive Repair

During the last week of April 2006 ACS Industrial Services received a call from a desperate store room management firm. They had been trying to get Baldor Servo Drives repaired with little success. Their customer was down to the last spare drive board and was starting to sweat. It seems that they had been sending these Baldor drive boards to several different electronic repair firms for repair. The trouble was that the drive boards were being returned repaired but did not work when installed. ACS performed a RUSH repair and returned the boards in two days.
