Upgrade Your Legacy CNC and PLC Machines with Monitech’s LCD Display Replacements

Common Issues with CRT Displays on Legacy Machines

Legacy CNC and PLC machines, such as those from Allen-Bradley, ProtoTrak, Mazak, Okuma, Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc, and Fagor, often come equipped with CRT displays. These CRT displays, while revolutionary at the time, have several issues:

• Dim or Flickering Screens: Over time, CRT displays can lose brightness and begin to flicker, making it difficult to read data accurately.
• Burn-In Problems: Static images displayed for long periods can cause permanent burn-in, affecting the display quality.
• High Power Consumption: CRT displays consume significantly more power compared to modern LCD displays, leading to higher operational costs.
• Bulky and Heavy: CRT monitors are large and heavy, taking up valuable space and making maintenance cumbersome.

Solving CRT Display Issues

Replacing the CRT display with an LCD display is the most effective solution. LCD displays are brighter, more energy-efficient, and free from burn-in issues. They also offer a more compact and lightweight alternative, enhancing the overall usability of the machine.
