FANUC A61L-0001-0093 LCD upgrade module installed on FANUC CNC machine
FANUC is the world's largest CNC system manufacturer, and its A61L-0001 series CRT displays were used across millions of machines worldwide — from the Series 0 and 0i to the 16i/18i/21i controls. These CRTs are now fully discontinued, and in-service units are failing at an accelerating rate.

This guide covers every A61L-0001 model from 0072 through 0097, including the D9MM-11A variant. You'll find model-specific specifications, compatible CNC system lists, a complete cross-reference table, pricing, installation instructions, and links to dedicated product pages for each model.

⚠️ Quick Reference: All FANUC A61L-0001 CRT displays use the Honda MR-20M 20-pin connector and DC 24V power. Our LCD modules replace them directly — plug-and-play, no wiring modifications, no CNC parameter changes. Prices range from $155 to $480. All include 2-year warranty.
