The maximum high forward reach for controls and operating mechanisms is 48-inches; maximum low forward
reach is 15-inches.
Controls and operating mechanisms must be operable with one hand and shall not require tight grasping, pinching,
or twisting of the wrist. The force required to activate controls shall be no more than 5 pounds.
If cooktops have knee spaces underneath, they shall be insulated or otherwise protected on the exposed surfaces
to prevent burns, abrasions, or electrical shock.
The location of controls for cooktops shall not require reaching across burners.

Types of induction tubes:
Ultra Flex has provided many manufacturers in the Tube and Pipe industry with induction heating solutions. Induc-
tion heating provides quick, concentrated heat on focused areas which increases productivity, repeatability, and
saves on operation time and cost.
Induction heating is successfully applied for common processes such as brazing, annealing, pre/post-heating.
Some processes require multi zone heat treatment. Our patented SmartPower modular induction heating system
allows customers to save on space, energy and helps optimize equipment costs by providing multiple, indepen-
dently controlled induction coils connected to a single power supply.
How Induction Heating is used in Tube & Pipe Industry:
Induction brazing and soldering of tube assemblies
Preheating of pipes before welding and before bending
Post heating and stress relieving of weldments
Curing of coating and coating repair for the oil pipelines
Induction bonding of plastic pipes with metal inserts
Induction forming of steel tubes and pipes
Hardening and tempering of tubes and pipe ends
Tube annealing and bright annealing
Different component of induction cooktop:

The main components of usual induction cookers are the glass plate, bottom cover, LED display, PCB, induction
coil, fan, power cord and plug, and power supply. All induction cooker parts contribute to an accurate and efficient
induction cooking, thus if one of them is broken it will not work properly, or worst will not turn on at all.
There are induction cooker fixings that are modular or can be accomplished by the user alone; however, there
are also issues that need to be repaired by experts. In essence, who to repair it depends on the problem and how
knowledgeable the repairer is.
Therefore, it is important to be familiar with the induction cookers components, for it will be useful when one of
them is not working. Any damaged part of it can be replaced by a new one. And, some manufacturers produce
only the parts of the induction cookers which are available on the market.
With this, we will provide you with a brief explanation of the basic components of an induction cooker.
