The Dienes Heated Knife Manual Control System is a stand alone system for controlling the temperature of individual heating elements, providing smooth, consistent slit edges while maximizing element blade life.

Operation:
The operator sets the desired temperature with a pot (A) which merges with the signal from the trim pot (B), which is then sent to the "SCR" module (located in the control enclosure) which in turn controls the voltage to the operator selected heaters (C). The readout (D) displays the temperature of the heater selected by knob (E).
