Installation - ABB IRB 4400 Manual

Using a key switch, the robot can be locked in two or three different operating modes
depending on chosen mode selector:
• Automatic mode:
• Manual mode at reduced speed:
• Manual mode at full speed (option):
100%
Equipped with this mode, the robot is
not approved according to ANSI/UL
Both the operator's panel and the teach pendant can be mounted externally, i.e. outside
the cabinet. The robot can then be controlled from there.
The robot can be remotely controlled from a computer, PLC or from a customer's
panel, using serial communication or digital system signals.
For more information on how to operate the robot, see the User's Guide.

2.4 Installation

The robot has a standard configuration and can be operated immediately after
installation. Its configuration is displayed in plain language and can easily be changed
using the teach pendant. The configuration can be stored on a diskette and/or
transferred to other robots that have the same characteristics.
All the versions of IRB 4400 are designed for floor mounting except one version for
shelf-mounting. Depending on robot version an end effector of max. weight 30 to
60 kg, including payload, can be mounted on the mounting flange (axis 6). Load
diagram, see chapter 3.4.
Extra loads can be mounted on the upper arm and on the base. Holes for extra
equipment are described in chapter 3.4.
The working range of axes 1-2 can be limited by mechanical stops and axis 3 by limit
switches. Position switches can be supplied on axis 1 for position indicator of
manipulator. (See chapter 4.)
