In short

When to repair an Allen-Bradley drive, controller or HMI β€” and when to replace.

Repair makes sense when

  • Part is discontinued and no equivalent exists.
  • Equivalent lead time > repair turn.
  • Repair cost < 60% of new/equivalent.
  • Failure is localized (fan, contactor, cap) β€” not catastrophic IGBT.

Replace when

  • OEM is shipping an equivalent available to quote.
  • Repair cost > 60% or has been repaired before.
  • Platform is end-of-life and migration is overdue.

We quote bench-test repair, refurbished swap, or new equivalent in one request.
