PROJECT 01
MC-1 Rate Switch
Customer · Condor Pacific
H&B machined housings and components for the MC-1 Rate Switch, a compact rate-sensing instrument. Each part was turned and milled to the customer’s print and inspected before delivery.
Projects
Hardware that has flown, fired and measured
H&B Engineering is a Canoga Park machine shop whose machined components have supported space program hardware and precision aerospace instrumentation for decades. The work below is a sample of what customers have trusted us to build to print.
Heritage
Space program heritage
Over the years, H&B has machined components supporting hardware for the Mercury program, Apollo-era docking systems and Space Shuttle filter systems. The parts were built to customer prints, inspected at every operation and delivered with traceable records.

Instrumentation
Precision instrumentation
Rate-sensing instruments only work when the housing holds its tolerances. H&B has machined housings and components for Condor Pacific’s rate switch and rate transmitter product lines.
PROJECT 02
TRU-2A/A Rate Transmitter
Customer · Condor Pacific
H&B machined housings and components for the TRU-2A/A Rate Transmitter, a cylindrical rate-sensing unit. Close-tolerance turning on our Hitachi Seiki centers kept the fit consistent across production runs.
Scope of work
What we are asked to make
The same shop that supported space program hardware now machines parts for aerospace, defense, medical, automotive and heavy equipment customers across Southern California.
01
Prototype & R&D hardware
One-off and short-run prototype machining for research and development projects. We have served R&D customers in aerospace and electronics since adding CNC equipment in 1980.
02
Close-tolerance production runs
Repeat production of precision machined parts for defense, medical, aerospace, automotive and heavy equipment customers. Every operation is inspected to the print and the records are kept.
03
Tooling & fixtures
Manufacturing of tooling and precision machine parts for customers’ own production lines. Milled and turned on CNC centers, finished on manual machines where it makes sense.
