Replacement Control Graphics for Obsolete Equipment

The machine still runs; the panel graphics are faded, cracked or gone. Send the old panel or a photo and we reproduce it, corrected if you want.

Applications › Interfaces & Control Graphics

Discontinued equipment outlives its printed panels. Legends wear off, overlays crack, and the OEM has no part number anymore. We rebuild the artwork from the old panel or a photo, match the construction (film overlay, rigid faceplate or printed metal), and deliver a replacement that fits the original cutouts. If you want a legend changed or a language added while we are at it, that is a note on the drawing, not a new project.

Typical examples

  • Faded controller overlays on packaging and process lines
  • Cracked keypad overlays on test equipment
  • Legend plates for retrofitted control cabinets
  • Faceplates for radios, gauges and consoles on vehicles and equipment
  • Panels for machines being rebuilt or resold
