Typical Applications
- FANUC CNC System Retrofit: Convert CGA/EGA signals from FANUC 0i/3/6/10/15 series CRT monitors to VGA, compatible with modern industrial LCD displays. Simple installation without replacing the main board.
- Mazak Mazatrol CNC Machine: Interface upgrade for Mazatrol M/T series legacy monitors. Original machine programs remain unchanged, plug-and-play, typically less than 30 minutes downtime.
- Mitsubishi CNC Display Retrofit: Compatible with Mitsubishi M64, E60, M500 and other series. Convert legacy RGB signals to standard VGA output.
- Industrial Camera & Monitoring Systems: Convert legacy industrial camera RGBS output to VGA signals for modern monitoring platforms, with less than 2ms latency.
- Automated Production Line Upgrade: Designed for 7x24 continuous operation, compatible with various brands of legacy PLCs and CNC equipment.
Key Advantages
- Wide Voltage & Temperature Industrial Design: Operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C, 12V/24V wide voltage input, suitable for harsh industrial environments. MTBF ≥ 150,000 hours.
- Automatic Input Format Detection: No manual settings required. Device automatically detects CGA/EGA/MDA/RGBS signal type and resolution — plug and play.
- Zero Software Modification: Pure hardware signal conversion. Original CNC system software and programs remain unchanged; the original operator interface is fully preserved.
- Low-Latency Real-Time Conversion: Signal processing latency ≤ 2ms, meeting real-time CNC machining display requirements without image tearing or delay.
- Fanless Silent Design: Passive cooling, no mechanical fans. Avoids dust accumulation and fan failures, ideal for cleanroom environments.
- Factory Technical Support: Kongto Technology provides full technical support from product selection to installation, ensuring a feasible retrofit solution.
Installation Guide
Step 1: Identify Signal Type — Open the CNC system control cabinet, locate the monitor interface (typically DB15), and confirm the signal type (CGA/EGA/RGB) according to the pinout.
Step 2: Connect the Converter — Using a standard VGA cable, connect the converter output to the VGA monitor or Kongto Technology's compatible LCD display.
Step 3: Power On and Test — After powering on, the converter automatically identifies the input signal. The LED indicator lights up to indicate normal operation, and the monitor automatically displays the image.
Step 4: Secure the Device — Use the included mounting brackets or cable ties to fix the converter in an appropriate location inside the control cabinet, avoiding vibration and high-temperature areas.
