Mazak Mazatrol Machines with the Monitech CD1472D1M LCD Upgrade Kit

Common Issues with Machine Displays

If you’ve worked in the industrial or manufacturing sector long enough, you’ve likely encountered machines with display issues. One of the most frustrating problems is when an older machine’s display, especially CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), starts to fade, flicker, or worse—go completely black. I know, I’ve been there, and it’s a huge headache when you’re working with critical systems like the Mazak, Mazatrol, or Mitsubishi controllers (like M Plus, M1, M2, M32, QT, T Plus, T2, T3, or T32 Mazatrol Control Systems).

The Hitachi CD1472-D1M CRT displays, commonly used in these systems, are notorious for wearing out over time. Displays on machines like the Mazak Mazatrol M32 controller or the Mazak v-414/32 start acting up after years of use. You may also notice similar problems in the Mazak Mazatrol T32 Controller. If you’re dealing with these faded or non-functioning displays, it’s a clear sign that you’re due for an upgrade.


How to Solve the Display Issue

Luckily, you don’t need to overhaul the entire machine or invest in a costly replacement system. A simple and effective solution is upgrading your display from the outdated CRT to a modern LCD. This is where Monitech’s CD1472D1M LCD Upgrade Kit comes into play.

This kit is a perfect fit for machines running the following controllers:

  • Mazak Mazatrol M Plus, M1, M2, M32, QT, T Plus, T2, T3, and T32 Control Systems

  • Mazak Mazatrol M32 and T32 Controllers

Case Study: A Simple Upgrade That Saved Downtime

A manufacturing plant was facing serious downtime issues because their Mazak Mazatrol M32 controller’s display had begun flickering. They couldn’t afford long delays in production, but the fading display made it difficult for the operators to read critical data, causing workflow disruptions.

Instead of replacing the entire controller or machine, they opted for the Monitech CD1472D1M LCD Upgrade Kit. The installation took less than an hour, and once completed, the new LCD provided a clearer display, allowing operators to work without interruptions. The company avoided a costly new machine purchase, and the upgrade extended the life of their equipment by several years.
