Due to necessary situations created by client's needs, ZRD has expanded a service to our product line - Custom Design and Millwork. We were already doing this in order to meet our customer's needs for their pulleys, but now it has expanded to meet most of their needs. Our expertise covers many areas.

A need arises with some vendor's equipment that is not designed to be changed or upgraded. Tight tolerances require custom fabrication to ensure a new part will fit or work. An example is shown below. It is on a Volvo engine that had their alternator replaced. The original alternator was considerably smaller and the Volvo supplied adjustment arm was not reusable with the new replacement upgraded alternator. It could not be cut, rewelded, modified, .... It could not be replaced with an off the shelf universal adjustment arm. ZRD's expertise took the installed engine and replacement alternator's measurements, original arm, typical universal adjustment arm, onsite measurements and worked with an AutoCAD software system and many hours of design and manufacture to produce the results shown. It is a total custom One-Off adjustment arm to fit a Volvo TMD22P. The curved slot produced is the same as on the original straight slot. This allows reuse (will not loose) of the original specialized nut from the original alternator that is kept as an emergency backup.

The pricing for this service is custom tailored (time, materials, CAD and machine time) and will be agreed to by ZRD and the customer prior to any expenditure of effort or expense by either party. Sometimes this service may be costly, but required and warranted. Eliminate the learning curve of mistakes and omissions. You will learn without the necessity of actual doing. This service will ensure that your buying experience will be a winning and enjoyable one. We are always glad to be of assistance.
