Why Upgrade Your Siemens SINUMERIK 810/820 CRT to LCD?

CRT displays on Siemens SINUMERIK 810/820 controls fail progressively: dimming screen, flickering, image retention, and eventual blank output. An LCD replacement module removes every CRT-specific failure point — no flyback transformer, no high-voltage tube, no deflection board. Expect 800x600 resolution, 350+ cd/m² brightness, and 50,000+ hour lifespan versus ~15,000 hours for a CRT.

Installation Is Plug-and-Play

Each module uses the same connector as the original CRT (20-pin Honda MR-20M on most models). Power off the machine, unplug the old CRT, plug in the LCD, power on. Typical install: 10-15 minutes. Every module ships with a 2-year warranty and lifetime technical support.
