 Product Overview
The FANUC A61L-0001-0092 (MDT947B) is a 9-inch color CRT display originally used in FANUC CNC systems. As these CRT displays age, they suffer from brightness loss, flickering, and eventual failure. Our LCD retrofit kit provides a cost-effective, reliable solution with modern LCD technology while maintaining 100% compatibility.
