TAP Micro

Introducing TAP Micro – our most cost-accessible TAP Controller yet! By ditching the touchscreen and transferring complete control of the TAP Micro to the TAP Kiln Control Mobile App, we’re able to offer TAP Micro at a fraction of the cost of our mainline TAP Controllers.

TAP Micro is optionally available with a 2.4” capacitive touchscreen which provides the option to monitor the kiln directly and to abort firings.

Note: The TAP Micro is intended for new kiln and oven builds. Due to its dimensions and wiring, it is not intended as a drop-in replacement for existing automatic controllers.

Features & Benefits:

The TAP Micro is a minimalist controller that provides you the ability to:

• Operate your kiln with a precise, user-friendly user interface from your mobile device or tablet
• Manage temperature for single-zone kilns, ovens, or furnaces
• Create, edit, label, and save an unlimited number of firing schedules and steps – no support manual or firing codes needed
• Easily check the status of your kilns with easy-to-read indicators, simple graphs of your schedules and current firings, and push notifications
• Fully control and monitor your projects remotely, with the option for extra features via in-app purchases 
• Enjoy peace of mind with  automatic software updates, safety shutoff, and an industry leading 2-year extended warranty
