Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Can you repair controller boards from older machines?
Often, yes. Older boards are a common reason for repair, because replacements may no longer be available.
Is repair certified for safety applications?
No. Repair does not include functional-safety certification; safety-rated equipment must go through the owner's own re-certification process.
Is a Failed Controller Stopping a Machine?
Describe the equipment and the fault. Sinsal will confirm whether it is a fit for diagnostics and repair before any work begins.
