🖥️ Key Features
-
Display Size: 12.1-inch LCD — provides a mid-size screen for clear reading of CNC programs, machine status, alarms, and menu screens.
-
Soft Keys Included: Yes — the unit features physical soft key buttons that correspond to context-sensitive on-screen functions, aiding navigation and control.
-
Touchscreen: ❌ No — this variant does not support touchscreen input, so operators interact via soft keys and other external panel controls.
-
Complete Assembly: This is a full PANEL i display unit, including the LCD and internal electronics, designed to mount in the CNC machine’s control panel — not just a circuit board.
🛠️ Typical Application
This panel serves as the main operator interface for FANUC CNC controllers (such as Series 0i, 16i/18i/21i, etc.) where a 12.1″ display with soft key input is preferred and touchscreen interaction is not needed. Operators use the soft keys and other panel buttons to navigate menus and enter commands while viewing system information on the LCD screen.
