Making an kiln oven controled by a PDI for hardening and tempering

- In this episode I'm going to show how I installed an PDI electronic controller to set and regulate the temperature in my kiln.
I intend to use this oven to harden and temper small steel parts.
The precisely controlled temperature oven will allow me to produce some repeatable quality parts.
Hope you get something out of this video, feel free to like, comment and subscribe.
Thanks for watching, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask...
Just picked up an old Paragon kiln at a yard sale. Found this on my quest to make it a tempering oven! Thank you!
Nice project Pierre, heat treat ovens are rarely found in home shops, having one of this size opens up many possibilities, especially in tooling. Well done! Marc
Fabulous little video! I’ve been thinking about a heat treat oven, and this is the info I needed. Many thanks!
This is awesome, I was literally looking to do the exact same thing with the exact same oven/kiln
Thanks that gives me some ideas on how to set up a heating element for a chemical tank project.
Enjoyed that Pierre - relieved to see someone else suffering old age glitches :) This is a very tempting project but as I heat treat so rarely, i guess I'll carry on with the old rather crude way! May well get tempted however! Love the compressor location! :)
Hi Pierre,
Nicely done Pierre! That should be a really handy tool.
Haha, the interruption by the compressor was hillarious ;)
Nicely done, simple and effective, a quick tip, look up the "auto tune" function in your manual, it will increase the accuracy and stability of your oven. Your PID's (proportional-integral-derivative) will set themselves at the current temp setting.
Ha ! Mr. Compressor makes an appearance ! Too funny.
thanks for the video! I am trying to hook a PID to and even heat kiln for knife making.
Merci Pierre d'avoir fait le vidéo. Sa explique très bien comment faire. Je commande un PID kit en fin de semaine et je m'en fait un :)
Good to see it working well, I did not see you test the oven temp with any other device to verify if your thermocouple values were correct or not. This is much quieter than the contact relay setup on my oven, which seems to work fine, but is certainly not as pretty as your digital display! :-) I am jealous of your personal Rockwell tester.
Nice one Pierre, Machinist and knowledgeable with electronic Gizmo's you your a pretty handy guy to have as a friend.
Can someone post his oder her values especially regarding P, I and D? I was running my Mypin yesterday and with 170 °C programmed the obershoot was 184. Set the PID to auto tune resulted in even worse results....some people suggest to switch of the D function. Your Help is appreciated
Can you tell me what controller you used?
Well done there Pierre. PID meaning proportional, integral, derivative. Do you have access to these settings for tuning the control? Thanks for the video.
Nicely done! How is the SSR holding up getting partial voltage? Is that actually dropping the output voltage? I always thought SSRs were a simple on/off, I didn't realize they had the ability to ramp based on input voltage...
Hello I would like to make a kiln element controller for my ceramic kiln to get slightly better results on some glazes that are little bit finicky the art of the system hold volume for certain temperature just like making high speed steel requires very precise temperatures with some poll times on the cooldown I believe. The way my kiln is set up it uses 240 volt but it splits it off into 110 volt for each element so there's a number of ways that I could do this. My question is could I run all of the elements off of 1 solid state relay simultaneously? That would be the best way to control the temperature for all the coils up and down the machine. I have it set on a 30 amp breaker.
