Hello Guys,
This is off topic for sure, but knew of no better place to ask with all
the electronics knowledge floating around here.
On our big vertical lathe, it has an old 9" CRT that is starting to give
us troubles, and I would like to convert it to an LCD, the only problem
is, that I am hav

Hello Rick.
Sounds like it has the same signals as our Mazak. Probably the working
frequencies are the same as the CGA old monitors. In our case we replaced
the old CRT with an old CGA monitor and connected the video signal to one
of the colors.
But in your case I guess the best would be to get a
Also note that VGA works with analog voltages for the RGB and the CRT on
your lathe sure has TTL for the video signal so it wouldn't work without
and adapter board.

Hopefully Vsync is 54Hz ... needs to be substantially less than HSync.

Hi,
I am looking for a computer which works with the Mesa cards (5i25 in
particular). This is for professional use. If a higher priced one saves me
time, I am all for it. Size is not a big issue. I can use mini ATX or mini
ITX. I also may buy more than one. Future availability would save

If you would like a 'personal" usage machine you can try what ever Solution
should work.
But if you are searching For a reliable industrial grade Solution you have to
spend some Money. This is my experience on that specific argument. Sometimes
cheap is not good. ;-)

It is either throw out the door or retrofit it to run a couple of more

I might even rip it in pieces and use some of the parts to make a smaller

ClassicLadder is just as good as a PLC for this kind of machine...

The controls on some of those smaller injection moulders was pretty
sophisticated even back in the day.
The shot control was the critical thing, assuming it has a proportional
hydraulic control valve on the ram. It was and still is very common to
run a pressure vs position curve on the ram as
