Manufactured by Bartlett Instruments, Paragon Kilns is excited to offer a new touch screen digital controller called the Sentinel Smart Touch. Sentinel Smart Touch Controllers are in stock and are available from Heat Treat Now on any Paragon kiln that comes with the Sentry 3.0 Controller.

The Sentinel Smart Touch has a modern and intuitive user platform with touch-screen technology for an effortless user interface. It can store up to 12 custom user programs with up to 32 segments per program and has the ability to make an adjustment during firing such as add segments, add temperature, and skip segments.
