I had mine replaced by Heidelberg a few years ago for the "modest" sum of $1,300.

Good luck.

Looking for a company that fixes Polar EMC 115 monitors

Right now go to Ebay and look up Panasonic Video monitor. You will see a TR990-c monitor for $54.00. This is the same monitor that I have had on my Polar for 5 years and no problems. It sets on top of the knife and it doesn't make you feel like you are hitting your head on it. But otherwise if you are headstrong about wanting OEM on the machine then it ain't gonna feel good.

Best,

Thanks....I think we found a company in Virginia that fixxes them for around $800 - $900 ( Scope Systems )

 

[ondemandbindery]

Ouch.... Atleast you got what you want.

As far as I know some components are no more available for the old CRT’s.
Do not mount a normal TV onto the cutter!!!! A wooden board and four chains from the sealing extends the life time of the TV.

Very nice. I would agree with doing this.

What is being bypassed by this method, the vibrations? Were they harmful to the factory original monitor?

In a Nutshell yes. Harmonics really. I have a customer who uses the same Monitor I have for my Polar and they have not had a problem yet. On the other hand I can think of atleast 3 Monitors that have went out at various shops I have been in since 2007.

Machine design is calculation. The original Polar CRT's have shock absorber. Everything brakes one day and vibration kills everything.
It will work with a different screen.

What is wrong with the monitor? Ours was half dimmed out, all it was was a reflection shield that had moved.

 

[ondemandbindery]

I would hate to think what it would cost to replace a touch screen on a newer Polar. Ouch.....

 

[Al Ferrari]

Actually it may not be as bad today. Start by googling for "industrial touch screen replacement". The market is much bigger now.

Maybe start by disassembling the cutter panel to get at some brand information to search for.

Well after looking at the range of prices here:

Universal Mount Monitor Pricing and Configuration Guide

It may be wiser to first find out Polar's price for the one in your machine.

Exactly. This is why I tried to get the original OP to look at other options. I have the original monitor with my knife but would assume it does not work. For less than 100.00 you are fixed. No different than going through Update for Consumables the way I see it. Sometimes aftermarket is your friend.
