Controleo3 Reflow Oven Controller
Controleo3 Reflow Oven Controller
Have your own oven in need of a controller? This kit has what you’ll need to install Controleo3. It includes the controller, enclosure, thermocouple, SD card for profiles, and more.
Controleo3 will learn the characteristics of your unique oven and fine-tune its PID algorithm to reliably hit temperature targets. Engineers worldwide have used Controleo3 to control toaster ovens, autoclaves, kilns, and more.
Our exclusive profile language helps you write heating profiles for any curve your oven can handle, while the controller’s open-source software gives you flexibility to tune your oven’s behavior to your liking.

Customer Reviews
Installed it. It worked. Controleo3 works entirely perfectly as advertised out of the box. It does overshoot the 250C of the lead free profile rather, up to about 258C. I'd have thought the PID algorithm would get that a bit closer to 250C but maybe I'm expecting too much, and I expect I can hack the profile a bit to bring it down.
I didn't bother with the door opening, as this is a small efficient reflow oven I won't be using unattended, though I believe there would be no problem fitting a servo inside the oven behind the control column so it protrudes the door manhandling hook through the lining into the right hand edge of the door, if I decide I want to do this later.
This oven is lined with calcium silicate blocks inside with an aluminium lining, and ceramic fibre blanket outside, it has four 325W elements, two top and two bottom, run in pairs to two SSRs (they are 120V and this is a 240V oven). There is a PSU mounted along side the SSRs which I added extra aluminium ducting around to heat protect it a bit more, and give me options if it became too warm, I figured a 5v fan on that back vent would solve any possible issues if I had to go there, but actually that little area gets barely warm.
The original oven was 12L size and had two 325W elements (one top one bottom), I acquired two ovens for £30 each so I could rob the elements of both.
Controller works fine. Learning process done with the result of 91%. Didn’t used to reflow SMD yet.
The product works perfectly as described. The detailed build guide was such a great help during the building process. My controller came damaged after shipping to Europe. A replacement was shipped without many questions asked. 5/5 Stars!
We purchased the Controleo3 for a number of R&D like projects: it has been a versatile, easy to use, and basically indispensable piece of technology in temperature dependent applications. Aka - melting solder when silk screening and having an exceedingly low cost yet high feature packed controller.
Speaking to Mitchell has also been a pleasure. He's provided deeper insights into the hardware, been personable, and provided technical and customer support that is top notch.
11 out of 5 stars.
