What VDU for Bridgeport Interact Series1 ?

[awemawson]

What monitors are compatible with my Bridgeport Interact Series 1. Without pulling it all out I cannot read the plate on mine. I can only find reference in the Books to BE111 and BE211. I'm being offered a BE135 which looks identical but will it be compatible ???

hmm, I think the control manuals list the displays somewhere. I dunno if a newer one would fit.

This is something we are all eventually going to have to deal with, as they are all past their lifetime

My manuals (Heidenhain TNC151b) quote the BE111 ( 9 inch) and BE211 (12 inch) and I have not been able to find any reference anywhere to the BE135 offered. There was a BE411 for the TNC155 which has graphics capability.

Why not call Heidenhain?

According to the seller it is from a TNC145, so I think that amkes it a small screen (9 inch diagonal)o no use to me
