Improve Your CNC Machine with a CRT to LCD Retrofit

If you have a CNC machine with a CRT monitor, you are most likely already experiencing the many defects and disadvantages these monitors present after years of use. You may also already know CRT monitors are extremely difficult and in most cases impossible to replace.

If you can find a replacement CRT monitor, which is unlikely, it will cost you a pretty penny to replace. The end result, you have an outdated monitor which will present the same issues you are suffering from now in just a few years. Repairing a CRT monitor is also a very expensive solution, if not impossible, with the same results. Don’t waste your money or risk large amounts of down time with your CNC machine, have Tri Star upgrade your CRT monitor today with an LCD retrofit.

Disadvantages of CRT Monitors:

CRT monitors are extremely heavy
CRT monitors occupy and consume large volumes of electricity
Over time CRT monitors present several defects

CRT Monitor Defects:

In different sectors of the display, color spots can start to appear and hinder visibility
When your monitor displays an image for long periods of time, an ageing affect called raster burn can disfigure your monitor and reduce the monitor’s brightness significantly
Pattern burn can occur as well, this occurs when the tube is imprinted with the image the monitor is displaying
You may also experience scan burn, this results in a line with reduced visibility across your CRT monitor

The defects CRT monitors experience overtime can seriously hinder the operator’s ability to read the screen. When correctly identifying patterns or writing on the CRT screen plays a large role in the operation of your CNC machine and business, this can cause large amounts of down time. Not only do these defects affect the operation of your CNC machine, they also cause your CNC machine users to strain their eyes in an attempt to read what the monitor is displaying. Essentially making your workers, and in turn your CNC machine, less efficient.
