About Control King
Who Control King isControl King Inc. is a United States manufacturer of hot-runner temperature-control systems for injection molding. The company is known for economical hot-runner control cabinets and the MTCS-1 control switch, which provides four different temperature setpoints for each zone. Systems are built with four to 72 zones, so a single cabinet can handle anything from a small mold to a large multi-drop tool.
What they makeControl King's core product is the hot-runner temperature controller — the cabinet that powers and regulates the heater zones in a hot-runner manifold. Control modules are offered in 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-amp versions and can be mixed in the same control cabinet according to the mold-heater requirements. Each PID module accepts five different setpoints: process temperature, high/low alarms, manual power, and acceptable ground-fault (GFI) limits. When ground faults are detected, the system takes appropriate action automatically, such as a forced bake. When thermocouple breaks occur, the system automatically switches to manual operation at a predetermined rate of power. Boost (100%), bake and standby heat are standard, and an optional KIM Module hand-held programming device is available.
Model series buyers search forUsed Control King equipment that comes up most often includes multi-zone hot-runner units — commonly 12-zone cabinets — as well as the Model 2010 series control cards and the 2010G hot-runner control card, which is a 15-amp card. Because Control King built systems in many zone counts, buyers should confirm the exact zone count and amp rating of the cabinet or card they are considering rather than assuming a model number tells the whole story.
What to check when buying usedStart with the zone count and the amp rating of the installed modules, and confirm they match the heater load of your mold. Ask for the control card part numbers and check that spares are available, since cards like the 2010 and 2010G are the parts most likely to need replacement. Inspect the cabinet for heat damage, burnt terminals and fan condition, and verify that the PID modules hold setpoint and that alarms, ground-fault detection and thermocouple-break behavior work as described. If the unit includes a hand-held programming device, confirm it is present and functional.
Service and parts supportControl King systems are modular, which helps with used purchases: individual control cards and modules can be replaced rather than scrapping a whole cabinet. Before buying, ask the seller for any available manuals, wiring diagrams and a list of known issues, and budget for a spare card or two. Because these are older, widely used controls, condition and documentation matter more than cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many zones do Control King hot runner controllers come in?
Control King systems were built with four to 72 zones, and control modules in 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-amp versions can be mixed in the same cabinet. When buying used, confirm the actual zone count and amp rating rather than relying on the model name alone.
What should I check on a used Control King control card?
Check the card part number and amp rating, look for heat damage or burnt terminals, and confirm it holds setpoint and responds correctly to alarms and thermocouple breaks. Cards such as the 2010 and 2010G are the parts most likely to need replacement, so having a spare is useful.
What is the MTCS-1 control switch?
The MTCS-1 is Control King's control switch that provides four different temperature setpoints for each zone. It is part of the company's economical hot-runner temperature-control systems.
Does a Control King controller handle ground faults and thermocouple breaks?
Yes. Each PID module accepts an acceptable ground-fault (GFI) limit, and when ground faults are detected the system takes appropriate action automatically, such as a forced bake. When thermocouple breaks occur, the system switches automatically to manual operation at a predetermined rate of power.
Are parts and manuals available for used Control King equipment?
The systems are modular, so individual control cards and modules can be replaced instead of scrapping the whole cabinet. Ask the seller for any manuals, wiring diagrams and known issues, and budget for spare cards.
