We have a new electrical safety inspector and he's asking us to show the CSA sticker for our SCARA robot controllers. We have never been asked this before so it caught us by surprise. We have been using the same robots for over ten years and nobody has asked us this.
We didn't think it would be an issue since the robots are sold all over the world and are readily available in North America. We also use the same robots down in a plant in the U.S. and they have never had issues with local electrical inspection.
My question is how is this supposed to work? When we asked our robot supplier, they told us that they don't have a CSA sticker. They tell us that the robot is typically certified as a system with the main panel.
I also looked up other robot manufacturers and I can't find any documentation saying CSA, CE, or UL certifications.
How is this problem usually handled? I am not sure how this needs to be handled. Go back and argue with the inspector?
