CNC machines are the backbone of precision manufacturing. Whether you’re in metalworking, industrial machining, or aerospace production, keeping your CNC equipment in top shape is crucial for efficiency and accuracy.
One essential component that often gets overlooked? The display screen.
The FAGOR 800T CNC system is a reliable control unit used in parallel lathe operations. But if you’re still using its old-school 9-inch CRT display, you’re probably dealing with screen flickering, burn-in, or complete failure.
The good news? You don’t need to replace your entire CNC system! With Monitech’s 8-inch LCD Upgrade Kit, you can swap out your outdated CRT for a high-resolution LCD, bringing your machine back to life.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about why you should upgrade, how to do it, and where to get the best replacement.
FAGOR 800T CNC Machine: What You Need to Know
The FAGOR 800T is a CNC control system built specifically for lathe operations. It’s well-known for its user-friendly interface and reliable motion control. Unlike more complex CNC controllers, the FAGOR 800T is designed to let operators run the machine without advanced programming knowledge.
Key Features:
✅ Designed for lathes – Optimized for precision turning.
✅ C-Axis Compatibility – Allows for more complex machining tasks.
✅ Intuitive Controls – Operators can navigate settings easily.
✅ Reliable Motion Control System – Ensures high-precision operations.
Where It’s Used:
- Metalworking shops
- Industrial manufacturing plants
- Precision machining facilities
While the FAGOR 800T is built to last, the CRT monitor that comes with it is not. And that’s where the upgrade comes in.
Understanding the VTM CRT# G23-125 L1 Display
If your FAGOR 800T still has the original CRT display, it’s likely the VTM CRT# G23-125 L1—a 9-inch monochrome screen that has been running for decades.
Problems with the Old CRT Display:
❌ Screen burn-in – Ghost images make it hard to read.
❌ Dim and flickering display – Hard to see critical machine data.
❌ High power consumption – Wastes energy.
❌ Expensive and hard to replace – CRTs are becoming obsolete.
If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s time for a modern, energy-efficient solution: an LCD upgrade.
Why Upgrade to an LCD?
Upgrading your FAGOR 800T’s CRT to an LCD comes with huge advantages:
Better Visibility – LCDs provide a brighter, clearer image.
Energy Efficient – Uses way less power than a CRT.
Longer Lifespan – LCDs last years longer than CRTs.
Low Maintenance – CRTs fail more often, while LCDs are built to last.
Easy Installation – No need to modify your machine.
And the best part? You don’t need to hunt for a generic LCD and hope it works. Monitech has designed a plug-and-play LCD upgrade made just for the FAGOR 800T.
