They are also much more energy efficient. Relying on a semiconductor instead of the electromechanical relays means no clicking sound when running.
- Elements are encased in Quartz Tubes: No need to worry about elements flaking into your projects.
- Programmable Alarm: Each unit comes standard with an integrated alarm that can be set to alert the user when a desired point or temperature is reached in the program.
Imagine what you could make with this kiln! Runs on standard 240v household current. 6-30P Plug type. 18 month manufacturer warranty.
Get to Know the TAP Controller
Get started the easy way with the user-friendly touch screen that is capable of holding virtually unlimited programs. TAP, by SDS Industries, is the first commercially available consumer kiln controller that utilizes an intuitive graphical user interface to enable the glass artist to immediately start programming and operating their kiln. Scott Shannon identified a significant disconnect between current technology and the consumer options available in the kiln control domain. The TAP Controller with its smart-phone like interface provides access to logging capabilities, unlimited number of schedule segments, on-the-fly schedule modifications, and even software updates.

It's simple to full fuse, slump, tack fuse and fire polish with pre-set firing programs. Whether you are fusing with 90 or 96 COE glass, the TAP controller makes it easy! Kiln includes 8 pre-set programs for each type of glass.
