Our Company:
MagneShock Div. of Arre Ind. Inc is a spin-off from Carrera
Shocks, the leader in auto Racing Shocks for nearly 40
years. We have lived & breathed QUALITY over all these years
– where failure “was NOT an option” – and, FAST RESPONSE to
market demands is imperative.
| We measure our
response times in hours or days, not months or years. |
Frank Buchholz (Pres) |
| Our people have enormous experience in Lean Six Sigma,
One-piece Flow, Just-In-Time & Highest Quality Manufacturing
with CNC machinery. |
Our engineers are extremely well qualified and don’t live in
Ivory Towers. You WILL be able to communicate with them.
Philosophy:
MagneShock is dedicated to being your One-Stop Source: From
Concept to Prototypes to Manufacturing.
Dick Anderson (CEO)
We offer complete turnkey systems, integrated into YOUR
vehicle, to YOUR specs.
Our main feature is Plug & Play operation.
Our sensors are integrated INTO the shocks. You won’t have
figure how & where to mount them & then string dozens of
cables.
MagneShocks are
bolt-on.
They will FIT on your EXISTING vehicle in the EXISTING
mounts. You won’t have to re-design your vehicle around
MagneShocks – we’ll design them to fit YOUR vehicle.

Engineering:
We design, simulate & test all our components: mechanical,
electrical & magnetic. Normally, we simulate your vehicle
and do preliminary development of the MagneShock System on a
computer.
|
MagneShock’s AMRDS systems are completely tested on our
hydraulic test stand, which can simulate road & off-road conditions, produce up to 50,000 lb of force & reach
velocities up to 150 in/sec. |
Jim Larsen
(Sr. Research Scientist) |
Then we do final “fine-tuning” of the system on the vehicle.
We still need people – human sensors are still “The Ultimate
Determinates.”
|
We can do “on chassis”
simulations, stress & life testing of the shocks and
related mechanical components - even
environmental (from –60 deg. F to +500 F) & vibration table
testing. |
Brandon Choplin
(Mechanical
Engineer) |
|
Our DAQ system is proprietary, developed to accurately measure
all motions of the chassis & suspension system as well as
other factors such as temperatures, lateral & fore-aft
accelerations (it records 64 channels at 1 KHz). |
Nobu Negishi(Mechanical
Engineer) |
Data is analyzed for many things, including absorbed power,
accelerations, velocities, & suspension travel.
