Competencies

Hot & Cold Forming

After surface finishing (annealing, phosphatizing and rolling) processes are complete, raw materials are processed at Zimaş Cold and Hot Formin on different tracks to become bolts, nuts, pins, bushings, rollers, stud bolts and rivets.

During cold forming, the raw material can be used for various processes such as tip thinning, threading, rubbing, fiber punching.

Machining

In roller chains, pins and rollers are critical components in terms of load-bearing and functionality. Machining methods play a significant role in the production of these components. To manufacture parts that require high precision and meet customer demands, processes such as turning, drilling, grinding, threading, chamfering, and peeling are carried out within Zimaş.

Our machining equipment includes various CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, centerless grinders, CNC saws, finishing machines, and chamfering machines. These machines ensure the production of high-quality chain components that meet customer expectations through an efficient manufacturing process. Each machine, with its precision- and efficiency-oriented design, enhances product quality and meets customer requirements.

Heat Treatment

Our 1,350 m² heat treatment facility offers an extensive range of heat treatment capabilities. With an annual capacity exceeding 5,000 tons, the facility is equipped with 3 Ipsen Atmosphere-Controlled Furnaces, 5 Aichelin Rotary Furnaces, Aichelin Continuous Isothermal Annealing Furnaces, Nitrex Nitriding Furnaces, Steremat Induction Benches, and Ony Atmosphere-Controlled Continuous Hardening Furnaces. The processes conducted include Tempering, Case Hardening, Isothermal Annealing, Induction Hardening, Stress Relieving, Carbonitriding, Nitriding, and Nitrocarburization. In addition to providing heat treatments for a wide variety of chain components, our facility also performs heat treatments for Topçesan hot forging parts and nitriding proceses for hot forging molds.

In our facilities, which feature two in-house laboratories, conduct Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers hardness measurements, chemical analyses of steels, macro-microstructure examinations, and internal structure inspections of steel. The strength tests for chain and forging parts are conducted using vertical and horizontal tensile testing devices, with detailed reports provided to our customers in compliance with the IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. Additionally, the CQI-9 heat treatment process evaluation standard is rigorously inspected by our quality unit.

With half a century of experience in the sector, our company remains committed to innovation and strategic investments. Our comprehensive range of heat treatment furnaces enables us to respond swiftly to industry needs, and our experienced team provides exceptional service in our heat treatment facilities.

ENGINEERING AND R&D

ZCF provides direct, durable solutions to customers, leveraging over 50 years of expertise that has been standardized into our processes. This begins with the submission of samples or technical drawings accompanying the customer’s request for a quotation and continues with the validation of the proposed solution by our engineering team. During this phase, customer challenges are evaluated from a technical perspective, and chain designs are finalized after performing the necessary mechanical tests.

Our engineering team ensures that every solution presented to the customer incorporates both high-quality standards and efficient production methods. Once the customer approves the proposed project, all sub-components, process design, formulations, mold designs, and control equipment are developed by our highly qualified engineering staff, with a focus on ensuring superior quality and production efficiency.

With a product portfolio exceeding 4,000 varieties, the Zimaş Engineering team is dedicated to delivering durable solutions that drive high customer satisfaction.
