Common Prodevco Control System Errors: Top 14 Issues Seen in the Field

As Service & Parts Lead at Mac-Tech, I work directly with fabricators to keep their equipment running smoothly, minimizing costly downtime and ensuring machines perform at their best. Every day, my team and I help customers troubleshoot issues, source the right parts, and implement preventative maintenance strategies that extend equipment life. Our goal is to be a trusted partner, providing the expertise and responsive support you need to stay productive.

Understanding Prodevco Control System Errors

Prodevco control systems are engineered for reliability, but like any advanced technology, they can encounter errors that disrupt production. These issues often stem from a combination of electrical, hydraulic, and software-related factors. As machines age or workloads increase, even minor issues can snowball into larger problems if not addressed promptly. Recognizing early warning signs, such as erratic operation or warning codes, is essential for timely intervention and minimizing impact.

Experience has shown that many errors are preventable with regular maintenance and attention to system updates. Proper hydraulic fluid management, CNC control calibration, and monitoring of wear components all play a role in keeping machines online. When errors do occur, fast access to technical support and replacement parts is critical for a quick recovery.

Top 14 Field Issues: What Fabricators Encounter Most

Through years of field service, I’ve seen a consistent pattern of control system errors that affect productivity. Here are the top 14 issues fabricators most frequently report:

  1. Communication faults between CNC controller and servo drives
  2. Hydraulic pressure fluctuations causing inconsistent motion
  3. Sensor misalignment or failure
  4. Loss of program data due to power interruptions
  5. Overheating of control cabinets or hydraulic units
  6. Faulty limit switches or proximity sensors
  7. Software version mismatches after updates
  8. Disconnected or damaged wiring harnesses
  9. Improper grounding leading to electrical interference
  10. Encoder feedback errors
  11. Corroded or loose terminal connections
  12. Unexpected E-stop activations
  13. Hydraulic leaks affecting pressure regulation
  14. Delayed part availability for critical components

Each of these issues can bring production to a halt if not resolved quickly. Our field technicians are trained to diagnose and address these problems efficiently, often restoring full operation within hours.
