One finishing operation is already putting powder on a million plastic parts per month. motors 22 New technology platform provides the ability for a single IC to control two-motors in a single appliance, simplifying motor control design. 26 Advanced motor-control techniques have become more accessible to a wider array of appliances, helping to improve efficiency and reduce noise. 26 electronics 30 Adding USB host capability to appliances permits in-field programming and acquisition of test data. 33 ZigBee modules make it easier to design wireless connectivity into applications. prototyping COVER New materials and processes are helping to overcome the challenges involved with powder coating plastic parts. These door bezels for laundry appliances were powder coated by Alliance Surface Finishing in Canada and show how powder coating opens up a new realm of aesthetic possibilities for plastic parts. For more information, see story on page 16. 30 36 New concepts such as rapid tooling and rapid injection molding provide stepping stones between prototyping and full scale production. 42 A number of factors and new developments affect the decision on whether to build prototypes in-house or outsource to a service bureau.
