Condor Pacific Ltd. - More than 35 Years in the Inertial Business
How we Started
Condor Pacific Ltd., was started in 1983. In those days, the Company assembled rate gyros from kits for our sister company, Condor Pacific Industries Inc.., in California. Many of those first employees from the early 80’s are still with us today. The Company is a private company with all shares held by Sid Meltzner.
Multiple Production Lines
The first mechanical gyros were designed in the early 90’s and 2000’s; these included a family of single axis floated rate gyros – R5 and a family of very small PZT two axes gyros – TAG. Condor Pacific also developed a number of electronic packages to operate these gyros. Tens of thousands of mechanical gyros have been manufactured over the years.
Array of High-Quality Reliable Products
In parallel, the infrastructure for the design, manufacturing, and calibration were established. This included cleaning rooms, a large number of single and two axes rate tables with and without temperature chambers, shakers, and stand-alone temperature chambers.
Looking to the Future
In the last 10 years, CPL has been involved in the design and manufacture of MEMS based subsystems such as IMUs – CLIP and multi-axes rate packages – MTAG, and CMS.
