Skutt Touch-Screen Controller

About the Skutt Touch Screen Kiln controller for Glass Kilns (GMT) and Pottery Kilns (KMT)

Skutt KMT Kilns for ceramics and GMT kilns for glass have the new state-of-the-art Touch Screen Controller.
The KMT line of kilns is designed for ceramics. Note that all of the kilns in this line fire to cone 10 (except 1227 where you only have 208-volt single-phase electrical service).
The GMT is the Glass Fusing Kiln controller.
The GlassMaster Touchscreen Option is available on all Production Series, KilnMaster, and GlassMaster models that use a full-size touch-pad.
The only difference between a KilnMaster Touch Screen Controller and a GlassMaster Touch Screen Controller is that the GMT Controller ships with the Ceramic programs turned off to protect you from over-firing your kiln.

It has the Same Functions you have come to know and love from the standard KilnMaster Controller Plus More!

ConeFire Mode – Allows you to easily program the kiln based on the cone value and whether it is a bisque or glaze firing. Now it is faster than ever. An easy to edit screen lets you quickly change parameters from the last firing and start the program. You can also view the actual segments in the program and display a graph of the firing.
Ramp/Hold Programming Mode – Allows you to easily input your own firing programs. Now you can Name Your Programs and store them in My Programs for easy access. You can even Copy Programs you like, but want to change slightly to speed up the programming process.
There are exciting New Functions that are on this controller as well.

Guided Start– This programming Mode is meant for beginners. It guides you through every step of the programming process with Helpful Messages to make things crystal clear and give you the confidence you have done everything correctly before you press Start.
Program Library– We have added a program library with helpful programs for unique processes like Slow Sculpture, Steven Hill Single Fire, and Cone 5 Crystal Glaze.
Help Screens – Nearly every page has a Help Button that will give you detailed information about the screen you are currently viewing. It is like having the manual right on the controller!
More Detailed Diagnostics – We put in place more detailed diagnostic tools which make it faster to figure out what may be going on with your kiln. And, because your kiln is connected to the internet our technicians can view the data right from their desk.
Graphing – When you press Start the controller will display a Graph of the firing so you can follow it along as the kiln goes through the program.
Logging – The controller actually stores the information from your last 10 firings which can be downloaded to an Excel Spreadsheet.
Upgrading to KilnLink – Adding KilnLink to your kiln just got easier and more affordable. The built-in WiFi eliminates the need for expensive hardware so now all you need to do is pay a minimal monthly data storage and development fee.
