FANUC A61L-0001 Series CRT to LCD Upgrade Guide
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.
