What Mold Control Systems does

Mold Control Systems, Inc. is a privately held, Orlando, Florida–based manufacturer founded in 1988 that designs and produces hot runner temperature controllers for the injection molding industry. The company's product portfolio spans four controller families (SITC-15, GITC-15, QHRC-15, and Q-Star Titan) paired with mainframes ranging from 1 to 96 zones, plus power and thermocouple cables, terminal boxes, and floor stands. Underlying technology is a Fuzzy Logic + PID control architecture delivering ±0.5°F (1°C) accuracy, with phase and burst firing, soft-start, thermocouple slaving, and a modular design that allows hot-swap module replacement without system shutdown.

The Advanced Intelligence Series (GITC-15) and Q-Star Titan lines introduce proprietary communication features — Local Global Grouping, Even-Temperature Rise, Thermocouple Slaving, External Alarm Output, Remote Standby Input, and Live-Swap zone retrievable settings — but these features are restricted to MCS's own MFCP and QTMFHD mainframes, deliberately creating a closed ecosystem. The 2-year warranty and return-to-factory repair model indicate a hardware-centric, durability-focused product philosophy rather than a software- or subscription-oriented one.

Mold Control Systems generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of controllers, mainframes, and accessories; fee-based repair services for out-of-warranty units; and parts/cable sales. Go-to-market is sales-led via a dual channel of direct sales from the manufacturer and a distributor/agent network spanning the United States and several international markets. The company holds ISO 9000 certification and serves industrial manufacturers, OEM process engineers, designers, supervisors, and machine operators. Notable gaps: no public pricing, no named customers, no disclosed revenue or headcount figures, no funding history, no social media presence, and a functionally dated website (© 2010, Adobe Flash dependent).

Core offering

Mold Control Systems designs, manufactures, and sells hot runner temperature controllers and mainframes used in injection molding processes. Its product line includes the SITC-15, GITC-15, QHRC-15, and Q-Star Titan temperature controllers, supported by a range of mainframes (1 to 96 zones), power and thermocouple cables, terminal boxes, connectors, and floor stands. The company also offers repair services for its temperature controller units and operates under ISO 9000-aligned quality manufacturing.

Product overview

Mold Control Systems offers a modular hot runner temperature control system architecture consisting of temperature controllers and mainframes that work together. The controller product line includes the SITC-15 (basic controller with phase/burst control), GITC-15 (advanced controller with communication features and Live-Swap capability), QHRC-15 (fuzzy logic PID controller with global functions for 8-60 zones), and Q-Star Titan (high-capacity system supporting up to 96 zones). Mainframe options range from single-zone to 96-zone configurations, including stacked systems. The product portfolio also includes cables (power, thermocouple, and combination), terminal boxes, and floor stands. All components are designed to be modular and interchangeable, allowing modules to be replaced without system shutdown.
