PanelView 600 Bezel Kit with Touchscreen and Overlay (MC600T-PGO) This one comes with a bezel, touchscreen, and overlay, but no LCD screen. It’s best if your screen still works fine, but the touch part is broken. Why Use a Replacement Kit? Saves money – You don’t have to buy a whole new HMI machine. Saves time – Easy to install and get your machine working again. Makes your machine look new – A new front panel can make old equipment look fresh. Longer machine life – Fixing small parts helps your machine last longer. What’s the Difference Between the Two? Before You Install Here are some simple safety steps before replacing your bezel or touchscreen: Turn off the machine power. Wear a wrist strap to stop static electricity. Label your cables before removing them. Check your PanelView model (should be 2711-T6xx). Make sure your power is 24V DC. After installing, test the touchscreen to make sure it works. Pros and Cons Pros: Saves money compared to buying new. Works with existing machines. Easy to install. Available even if OEM parts are gone. Cons: Not from the original maker (aftermarket). Must double-check fit and size. May take time if shipping from another country.   These T2 Industrial kits are a smart way to fix your Allen Bradley PanelView 600 HMI: Pick MC600T-PGO if your screen still works fine.

The Fagor 8025 CNC is a control system (not a machine itself) that was very popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many shops around the world still use it today. Think of it as the “brain” of the machine—it tells the machine what to do. One of the most common problems with older Fagor 8025 units is the CRT screen wearing out. The good news is you don’t need to replace the whole CNC system. You can simply use an LCD monitor replacement to give your control a clear, modern display and keep your machine running. Variants of the Fagor 8025 CNC The Fagor 8025 came in different versions, each made for different types of machines. Here are the main groups: Fagor 8025 GP (General Purpose) Used for many machine types like grinders and lasers. Came with an 8-inch monochrome screen and full keyboard. Fagor 8025 M / MG / MS (Milling Machines) 8025 M / MG: Supports up to 4 axes. 8025 MS: Supports up to 5 axes with extra features like 2D/3D simulation, probing, and canned cycles. Fagor 8025 T / TG / TS (Lathes) 8025 T / TG: Standard 4-axis control for lathes. 8025 TS: Adds a C-axis for advanced turning and tool compensation. In short, the Fagor 8025 series has three big families: GP (General Purpose) M / MG / MS (Milling / Machining) T / TG / TS (Turning / Lathe) Machines That Used the Fagor 8025 The Fagor 8025 was installed in many machines, such as: Milling machines – common with 8025M and 8025MG models. Lathes – run by the 8025T and 8025TG. CNC routers – popular because of its multi-axis control. Grinders – used for precise grinding work. Machine Builders That Used Fagor 8025: Lagun – MC 9040 machining center. Hardinge – DV-59 CNC Accuslide lathe. Motionmaster – Large-format CNC routers. DMS (Diversified Machine Systems) – CNC routers. Freedom Machine Tool – CNC routers. Quintax – 5-axis routers. Ganesh – Lathes and machining centers. Standard CNC – Milling machines and routers in the 1990s–2000s. Why Upgrade to an LCD Monitor Replacement? Most original Fagor 8025 units came with CRT screens, which have problems like: Dim or fading display Burn-in marks Higher power use Hard-to-find parts By upgrading to an LCD monitor replacement for your Fagor 8025 HMI: The screen is clearer and brighter. It uses less energy. Installation is easy with direct-fit kits. Your CNC machine gets a longer life without a full system change. The Fagor 8025 CNC HMI is still trusted in many shops because it’s reliable and simple to use. If your screen is failing, you don’t need to spend big money on a brand-new control. An LCD monitor replacement is a smart, cost-saving way to keep your CNC machine working smoothly. By upgrading the display, you extend the life of your control system and make the operator’s job easier. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.

Installation Process The installation process is divided into four key stages: removal, installation, setup, and troubleshooting. Part 1 – Removing the Old CRT Over time, keypad overlays on industrial machines can wear out due to: Power Down Turn off the main machine and power breaker. Unscrew the HMI from the front panel. Take a reference photo of all connections. Unplug all communication and power cables. Access Internal Components Remove thumb screws and detach the I/O card. Unscrew the four nuts holding the CRT monitor. Open the back cover and disconnect the CRT power cable. Detach Front Panel Remove the front panel by unscrewing the hinge. Unplug user control and video cables. Detach the video board and remove the CRT screen. Part 2 – Installing the LCD Upgrade Attach New Front Panel Components Mount the PCB and selector switch onto the new panel. Plug in the keypad overlay cable. Secure the hinge bracket using existing studs and nuts. Reconnect Cables Plug in the user control cable. Reconnect the video cable and attach the ground wire to C13, JP5, or JP6. Connect Power Choose a power option: MAP307: Crimp and connect red wires, attach ground. MAP302: Plug into existing outlet or extension cord. Part 3 – LCD Setup and Configuration Turn On and Access Menu If there is no video signal, the screen will turn blue. Use the 3 control buttons on the back of the LCD: MENU to open settings LEFT/RIGHT to navigate and adjust Settings save automatically or after 20 seconds of inactivity Fine-Tune Video Settings WIDTH: Adjust screen width and fix vertical lines HEIGHT: Adjust screen height H_POSITION / V_POSITION: Align the screen properly PHASE: Eliminate visual flicker STYLE: Set to RGB(A); switch to YUV for grayscale video SYNC: Auto-detect; adjust if needed RESISTANCE: Use 75Ω if colors are overly saturated RESOLUTION: Default is 800×600; change to 640×480 if needed Part 4 – Troubleshooting Tips No Video Signal? Check video cable connection Confirm “Info” screen isn’t showing 00.00 (means no signal detected) Saturated or Blooming Text? Change resistance from 750Ω to 75Ω Image Tearing (Top Left)? Slightly adjust HS potentiometer (clockwise or counterclockwise Blurry or Doubled Image? Adjust the VS potentiometer Resetting Video Pots (if needed): Horizontal: Turn clockwise until it clicks, then turn counterclockwise 3 full turns Vertical: Turn clockwise until it clicks, then turn counterclockwise 16.5 turns Upgrading from CRT to LCD is one of the smartest ways to modernize your FAGOR 8025 controller without a full replacement.
