Flexiv Gains World's First CE and ETL Certification for a Force-Controlled Robot
Flexiv, the world leader in general-purpose robotics, has received CE and ETL approval for their Rizon 4 robot, making it the first-ever seven-axis force-controlled adaptive robot to achieve both certifications at the same time. "The CE and ETL certification is an essential regulatory milestone on Flexiv's road to commercialization" Demonstrating the intrinsic safety of the Rizon 4 robot, the CE and ETL approval was awarded by the world's foremost testing, inspection, certification and assurance provider, Intertek. Accepted in the EU and Northern America, the approval enables Flexiv to distribute the Rizon 4 in the European Union, Canada, and the USA. Meeting or exceeding the strict CE and ETL requirements, the Rizon 4 was subjected to hundreds of individual testing, evaluations, and assessments focused on machinery safety, electrical safety, functional safety, environmental reliability, electromagnetic compatibility, and collision detection. During the testing the Rizon 4 was also exposed to temperatures ranging from 0-45 C, dust particulates, and water jets from any direction.
