Two top executives at CalComp left the Anaheim-based computer components company Tuesday just as the Lockheed Corp. subsidiary relinquished control of a division.

William P. Conlin, president, and Larry Sanders, senior vice president of field operations, left CalComp “to pursue other interests,” a spokesman said.

At the same time, a CalComp subsidiary, Access Graphics Inc. in Boulder, Colo., was separated into a distinct unit. The company distributes computer-aided design peripherals and workstation equipment.

Daniel M. Tellep, Lockheed’s chairman and chief executive officer, said the decisions reflect a careful review of CalComp and Access Graphics’ business performance and potential.

“Separating out Access Graphics permits us to provide the focus necessary for this rapidly growing and profitable business to realize its substantial potential,” Tellep said in a prepared statement.

CalComp develops and makes computer graphics peripherals such as printers and plotters, which transfer drawings to paper. It employs 1,800 people worldwide, about 1,000 of them at its Anaheim factory.

CalComp purchased Access Graphics, which employs 130 people, in May, 1991.

Access Graphics will become a stand-alone subsidiary, said spokesman Paul Haney, one of six companies in Lockheed’s electronics systems group. CalComp is another of the six.

Val P. Peline, Lockheed group president of electronic systems, was appointed interim CalComp president, replacing Conlin. Peline will be based at CalComp’s Anaheim headquarters until a permanent CalComp president is selected.

John B. Ramsey will continue as president of Access Graphics. Both Ramsey and the new CalComp president will report to Peline.

Conlin and Sanders were with CalComp in August, 1986, when Lockheed purchased its parent company, Sanders Associates of Nashua, N.H., according to Haney.
