Packaging & Bottling Servo Drive Repair

Independent third-party component-level repair of servo drives on packaging and bottling equipment: filling machines, labeling lines, cartoning, palletizers, and form-fill-seal hardware. Allen-Bradley Kinetix, Siemens SINAMICS, Fanuc, and Yaskawa drives.

N100 Where these valves sit

Four packaging-line application contexts

Below are the four common packaging-line contexts where servo drives end up at the bench.

N110

Filling & bottling

Volumetric filler, dosing pump, and capping-head servo drives across food, beverage, and pharma lines.

N120

Labeling & cartoning

Web-fed labeler servo drives, glue applicator, and cartoning-machine flap and erection servos.

N130

Palletizing & case packing

Servo drives on case packers, robotic palletizers, and end-of-line wrap and stretch hardware.

N140

Form-fill-seal

VFFS / HFFS film advance, seal-jaw closing, and cutting-knife servo drives across continuous-motion lines.

N200 What NC Servo does

Component-level repair on packaging drives

Each unit is opened, inspected, and rebuilt at the component level. Failed parts come from inventory or off donor units. Bench verification before ship.

N210

Power stage rebuild

IGBT modules, gate drivers, and DC bus capacitors replaced on Kinetix, SINAMICS, Sigma, and Fanuc amplifier hardware.

N220

Control board work

Component-level board repair, firmware checks, and communication-module verification on packaging-grade drives.

N230

Cooling & power supply

Cooling-fan replacement, power-supply rebuild, and thermal-path checks on cabinet-mounted hardware.

N240

Bench testing

Electronic test setup with dummy load and feedback emulation. Performance check before ship.

N250

Donor parts service

19,000+ unit in-house pool. Aftermarket parts and donor units for legacy packaging-line hardware.

N260

Repair scope

Hardware repair only. PLC programming, machine commissioning, and line-tuning stay with the customer or integrator.

N400 Common faults

What usually shows up on packaging drives

Packaging-line servo drives run continuous duty in tight cabinet environments. Failures fall into four categories. Recognize one? A part number is enough to start.

Fault log — typical intake
Power stageFailed IGBT modules, blown DC bus capacitors, and gate-driver damage. Often follows a power surge or cooling failure on the cabinet.
Cooling & thermalCooling-fan failure, heatsink contamination, and thermal-stress damage on the power module.
Control electronicsCommunication-module failure, encoder-interface damage, and capacitor aging on the control board.
Cabling and connectorsDamaged feedback cables, encoder connector wear, and corrosion on encoder pins after cleaning-cycle exposure.

N500 Workflow

From part number to ship-back

Same four-step path through the shop whether the drive came off a Krones bottling line or a Bosch packaging cell.

N510

Get in touch

Call or email with the part number, equipment context, and a photo of the nameplate if it helps.

N520

Bench review

Tech inspects the drive, runs it on the test bench, and confirms what failed.

N530

Cost & approval

We call back with the cost and a rough turnaround. Nothing is started without your sign-off.

N540

Repair, test, ship

Failed components replaced from inventory or off donors, drive verified on the bench, and shipped back.

N600 Common questions

Common questions about packaging drive repair

Application-specific questions. For brand-specific FAQs, see the dedicated brand page above.

What types of packaging-line servo drives do you repair?
Servo drives and amplifiers from Allen-Bradley (Kinetix), Siemens (SINAMICS), Fanuc, Yaskawa, Kollmorgen, Baldor, Indramat, and similar industrial drive families. Coverage spans filling, labeling, cartoning, palletizing, and form-fill-seal lines.
What machine builders come through the bench?
Drives come through from Krones, Bosch Packaging, Sidel, Tetra Pak, KHS, IMA, Marchesini, ProMach, R.A. Jones, and other packaging-equipment builders.
Do you provide PLC programming or line-tuning?
No. Hardware repair only. PLC programming, machine commissioning, and line-tuning stay with the customer or integrator. Parameters stored externally must be reloaded after hardware repair.
Can you repair legacy drives no longer supported by the OEM?
Yes. Discontinued Indramat DDS / EcoDrive, older Allen-Bradley Ultra series, and legacy Yaskawa Sigma drives come through routinely. The 19,000+ unit donor pool covers a lot of out-of-support hardware.
Do you provide on-site service?
No. Bench repair is the standard service: ship the drive to Westland, MI for rebuild and testing.
How long does a repair usually take?
Lead time varies job to job, partly because parts are often pulled from donor boards. Give us a call with the part number and the situation.
What is the warranty?
One year on parts and workmanship for repairs and rebuilt units. Standard exclusions apply for power surges, contamination, improper installation, and out-of-spec operation.

Packaging line down? Send a part number

Give us a call or send a part number with the equipment context and the symptom. We'll check the donor pool, suggest a rebuilt match if we have one, and walk through repair or cross-brand options if we don't.
