Can you provide custom LCDs for other KME models?

Yes. We can engineer custom solutions for any KME display model. Send us your CRT model number and we will develop a matching LCD replacement.

How long does a custom KME replacement last?

All our LCD modules use industrial-grade LED backlights rated for 50,000+ hours — over 3 times the lifespan of the original CRT.

KME CNC Display CRT to LCD Custom Replacement — Case Study

KME industrial displays are found on various CNC equipment and specialized machinery. When these CRTs fail, finding exact replacements is challenging due to discontinued production and non-standard interfaces. This case study covers successful custom LCD replacements for multiple KME display models, including the 17DM14AF03 and 26S10M004.

The Challenge

Two different KME displays needed replacement: a 17DM14AF03 with a dim/failing backlight, and a 26S10M004 (9-inch) that had completely lost display output. Both used non-standard signal connectors that couldn't be directly driven by off-the-shelf LCD monitors. The equipment was critical to production, and extended downtime was not acceptable.

The Solution

For each KME model, we reverse-engineered the signal interface and developed a custom LCD module with matching pinout. The 9-inch 26S10M004 was replaced with a drop-in 9-inch TFT LCD using the existing connector. For the 17DM14AF03, a custom adapter harness was created to bridge the non-standard connector to the LCD. Both solutions preserved the original mounting and required zero equipment modifications.

Results

Both KME displays restored to full operation within one week
Zero modifications to the host equipment
Brightness improved 2x over the original CRT
LED backlight rated for 50,000+ hours
Both solutions fully reversible
