We support your product. Throughout the entire lifecycle.

Quoting a fixed price without diagnosis would be unprofessional – the effort depends on the fault pattern, the assembly and the component situation. The more decisive question is: What does the downtime cost you? CME exclusively repairs high-value industrial electronics with replacement costs from several thousand to over 50,000 euros – frequency inverters, servo inverters, CNC controllers, PLC modules, robot controllers and power modules. In this segment, professional repair is almost always cheaper than new procurement – and above all faster: new devices currently have lead times of 12 to 36 months. A CME repair takes days to weeks.

For cheap mass-produced goods, repair is not worthwhile – and we don't repair those either. CME specializes in industrial electronics whose failure immediately leads to production standstill: frequency inverters, servo amplifiers, CNC controllers, robot controllers and IGBT power modules. An unplanned production outage costs between 5,000 and 50,000 euros per hour depending on the industry. Against this background, the question is not whether repair is worthwhile – but how quickly it is available.

In case of acute production standstill, we intervene with express prioritization. Fault analysis typically begins within 48 hours of receipt. How long the repair takes depends on the fault pattern and component situation – with available components often 2 to 5 working days. We inform you transparently about every step so you can plan your operations. No waiting for manufacturer hotlines, no ticket system – direct contact person from the start.

Yes – CME is manufacturer-independent and repairs devices from all common industrial brands: Siemens SINAMICS, SIMODRIVE and SINUMERIK, ABB ACS series, Danfoss, Lenze, SEW-Eurodrive, Bosch Rexroth, Fanuc, Mitsubishi Electric, KUKA, ABB Robotics, Heidenhain and more. We work at component level – that means real repair, not blanket replacement of entire assemblies at your expense.

Yes, and that is often our strongest argument. Discontinued systems like Siemens S5, older SINUMERIK or SIMODRIVE generations are no longer available new – but still in use millions of times. A complete replacement means reprogramming, conversion and certification effort – often ten times more expensive than repair. CME keeps these systems running as long as technically possible, and procures original components through specialized market channels and broker networks.

In most cases, yes. CME regularly works without documentation – through systematic measurement, reverse engineering and years of experience with circuit topologies from drive technology and power electronics. Where it makes sense, we create basic documentation as a foundation for future repairs – regardless of whether the original manufacturer still exists or provides documents.

That is precisely a CME core competency. Through our network of distributors, broker contacts and remaining stocks, we often still find original components that appear no longer available on the open market – IGBT modules, specialized driver ICs, control ASICs and similar. Where that is not possible, we qualify suitable replacement components electrically, thermally and mechanically. Authenticity testing to protect against counterfeit industrial components is standard.

Every repair is electrically tested before delivery and documented with a test protocol. Warranty conditions are discussed individually – depending on the device, fault pattern and operating conditions. For safety-relevant applications, you receive full traceability of all replaced components including batch documentation on request.

Wherever electronics are expensive, critical or hard to replace: mechanical engineering and special machine construction, automotive production, printing industry, food production, chemistry and process engineering, energy supply, wind power and renewable energies, railway technology and medical device technology. If the failure of your electronics stops a production line – CME is the right partner.
