LCD flat panel displays were first introduced in the 1968 with great success. Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 21:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC) The LCD flat panels are an ideal replacement choice for the outdated and old technology [|CRT screens]. Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 20:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC) there are many older automation machinery still in production today, however, they are not all without display issues. The biggest problem with a CRT monitor is burn-in. What this means is that the same image displayed on the screen will eventually be permanently burned-in to the thin layer of phosphor on the inside of the CRT monitor. Other issues range from the Cathode Ray Tube and the Electron Gun no longer working, or the video card has stopped functioning.Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 21:22, 4 February 2021 (UTC) The many companies that supplied the CRT units for the automation machinery have either gone out of business or stopped supporting these out dated repair parts, solely to sell newer and high-priced machines.Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 21:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC) While there are many companies that sell aftermarket repair parts, one must take great caution on what part is ordered and from what location. Not all repair service companies are created equal. Companies with a long history and reputation, who own and operate a brick and mortar building are often more trustworthy than an online auction site style sellers who are looking to make a fast buck, with little to none existent technical support in place and sketchy return policy in place, these low price service sites are not to be trusted. Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 20:59, 5 March 2021 (UTC) Some of the more popular automation machinery would be the Panelview line, Okuma, Fanuc, Prototrak and many more.Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 20:18, 10 March 2021 (UTC) There is also the Controller Keypad, and controller display touchscreen that will require repair. Again, dealing with a reputable company is the key to satisfaction here.Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 19:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC) I started Monitech Industrial as a means for small machine shops who cannot afford to purchase a new [|CNC Machine] simply because the display is no longer functional. The Original Equipment Manufacturer who built the CNC machine used the [|CRT] technology that was available at the time. However, as stated above, these older display systems are not without fault. The new flat panel LCD screens are much more durable and affordable, with a short downtime period required to swap out the displays only.Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 19:41, 1 April 2021 (UTC) As of the 1980's the Machinery manufacturers started to use [|Touchscreens]. This proved to be both good and bad. The operators no longer needed a computer to punch in the program and parameters, but the wear and tear proved costly as there is a new part now that needed to be replaced. Touchscreen replacements were not all built the same and support after the purchase was very hard to come by, as companies did not have the experience, staff, and resources to offer much useful support. Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2021 (UTC) The issue of a discontinued support for an obsolete repair part is widespread. Automation Machinery are not immune from this disease. Often times an older CNC or Milling machine need controller monitor repair parts, however, the Original Equipment Manufacturer has long shutdown or gone out of business. You can search for used parts, but you will suffer the same fate in a few years. The solution is to move to a new technology LCD unit which is widely available, but the connections do not match. This is where you can request assistance from a trusted source who is an expert in this field. The name Monitech is the industry leader in such information.

Chris at Monitech Industrial (talk) 18:57, 10 September 2021 (UTC) Monitech Industrial is innovating and engineering new parts constantly. The [|electronics] field is a very vast desert with conflicting information from unreliable sources. Looking at the experience level and the product development cycles of a company is essential in receiving good comprehensible answers. We urge you to contact us with your [|CNC], [|Mill]< press, Injection molding display issues for honest solutions that work.
