Motion amplification technology is changing the way industries identify equipment and structural issues.

By using advanced video processing to magnify tiny movements invisible to the human eye, it helps engineers and maintenance teams detect problems earlier, reduce downtime, and improve reliability.

Electric motors sit at the heart of many industrial processes, powering pumps, conveyors, compressors and production equipment. But if a motor fails on your watch expect unscheduled downtime, disrupted operation and costly emergency repairs.

Better maintenance = fewer motor fails so make sure you’re on top of your proactive maintenance game.

Most servo motors aren’t tested until a fault occurs, and by then, the damage can already be done.

That’s why we use OriginTM testing technology.

By monitoring motor condition and testing performance before failure happens, costly repairs, unexpected downtime, and even complete motor destruction can often be avoided.

We love getting a good review. Not just because it’s positive feedback, but because it shows we’re doing what matters most, delivering reliable work, supporting our customers, and helping keep their operations running.

Just one of the many things our highly skilled electronics department is working on at the moment.

This bus propulsion control system is currently in for diagnostic testing and repair, helping keep critical public transport equipment operational without the need for costly full replacement.

Modern transport systems rely heavily on complex electronics, and when faults occur, accurate diagnostics and specialist repair expertise make all the difference.

Using powerful diagnostic equipment like ABi BoardMaster and our in-depth electronic repair capability, our team can identify faults at component level and restore systems that may no longer be supported by manufacturers.

It’s another example of how specialist repair work can extend equipment life, reduce costs, and minimise downtime.

A project our Servo Motor Technician has been working on involved bringing this heavily damaged HPB servo motor back to life.

The motor came in with a broken terminal box, which had damaged both the thermistor and phase wires, a feedback connector in poor condition, and a seized drive end bearing.

With the right expertise, repair work, and attention to detail, the motor was fully restored and returned in a much healthier condition.

Precise realignment was also greatly supported using Octava Engineering technology, helping ensure smooth operation and reliable performance once back in service.

It’s another example of how specialist diagnostics and quality repair work can extend equipment life and avoid unnecessary replacement costs.

When a servo motor starts to fail, it’s easy to assume replacement is the only option.

This Rexroth MSK servo motor came in needing some serious TLC. Worn bearings and a damaged feedback connector meant performance and reliability were well below where they should have been.

Using advanced diagnostic technology from Octava and Origin, our servo motor technician was able to accurately assess the condition of the motor, identify the faults, and carry out the repair work needed to bring it back to life.

Now it’s running smoothly again and is ready to return to operation.

It’s a good reminder that not every servo motor failure means replacement. With the right testing equipment, expertise, and repair process, many motors can be restored to full performance while saving significant cost and downtime.

What happens when critical equipment fails… and the manufacturer no longer supports it?

For many businesses, that’s where costs rise, and options become limited.

That’s where our ABI system makes a real difference.

It allows us to detect faults in complex electronic systems and PCBs, giving you the ability to test and repair equipment that would otherwise be considered obsolete.

From inverters to propulsion systems and bus motor drives, we can help extend the life of your equipment and avoid unnecessary replacement costs.

If you’re dealing with unsupported systems, it’s worth knowing you still have options.
