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.

Kiln measures 29-1/2" x 28" x 32" with stand. Firing chamber measures 17" x 17" x 6-1/2". 240V, 18 amp. All kilns phase 1. Maximum temperature of 1650° F. This kiln uses a NEMA 6-20 plug/receptacle configuration.

This kiln is equipped with a solid state relay. Solid state relays have a much longer life span than traditional manual/mechanical relays. They are also much more energy efficient. Relying on a semiconductor instead of the electromechanical relays means no clicking sound when running.
