Skutt Glass Master 700
Kiln Controller • GM 700
| Current
Sensing – No more hiring expensive
technicians to perform basic electrical tests. Every GlassMaster
Skutt Kiln is now equipped with a current sensor that allows
remote technicians to troubleshoot your kiln right over the
phone, The current sensor reads your voltage and amperage
with just a few easy keystrokes accessed from the completely
redesigned Menu function key. It can also check the board
temperature, LED readout and a host of other useful troubleshooting
data.
New
Safety Features – Ever worry about a student or employee
entering the wrong temperature and causing a meltdown in your
kiln? You can now enter a maximum programmable temperature
which makes it impossible. You can also program the kiln so
it requires 2 key presses to start the program. This prevents
accidental starts by curious passerbies.
New
Easier to Read Display – There is a new 14 Segment
LED display that allows for more descriptive prompts. No more
deciphering cryptic messages. |

Designed by Glass
Artists
The GlassMaster controller is the product of years of
research. We asked artists and glass manufactures all
over the country what features they would like to see
in a controller. The result is a controller that's extremely
easy to program and offers the flexibility of a wide
array of innovative features.
|
| Ease
of Programming
The key layout on the GlassMaster is designed to be
easy to understand and efficient. Multifunction keys
allow you to load and review saved programs with a minimum
amount of key strokes.
Adjustments can be made even during the firing without
interruption. Beginners and professionals alike will
appreciate the logical design of the layout.
|
The Glass Fire Mode allows
you to access factory installed programs designed for
general fusing, slumping, and tack fusing. While the type
of glass, the thickness, and the techniques may vary with
each project there are some general heating and annealing
principals that are common.
The Glass Fire Mode allows you to choose from 3 different
firing speeds and since you control the point at which
the kiln goes into the annealing phase this easy programming
mode can be used quite often. |
| All kilns
come with a manual that describes step by step how to
un-pack, setup, program and maintain the kiln. |
|
| The Ramp
Hold Mode allows you to design and store your
own programs for specialized projects. You can you use
up to 16 segments which consist of a temperature, a heating
or cooling rate, and a hold time if one is desired. You
can store up to 6 of your programs for easy recall. |
| The Add Time, Add
Temp, and Anneal
features allow you to control the final segment
of the heating phase so the kiln begins annealing when
you want it to. |
| The operating manual
has quick start instructions for the advanced user as
well as step by step, easy to understand instructions
for the beginner. |

Workshops
Every
couple of months we have a workshop on Electric Kilns that covers
the basic and not so basic aspects of firing and maintaining your
kiln. If you don't know the difference between 240 and 208 volts,
single and three phase, cone 6 and 06, crazing and dunting, the
$49 for the workshop can save you a bunch!
