1.1.1 Introduction

General
The IRB 4400 is a 6-axis industrial robot, designed specifically for manufacturing
industries that use flexible robot-based automation. The robot has built-in process
ware, an open structure that is specially adapted for flexible use, and can
communicate extensively with external systems.
Different versions
The IRB 4400 comes in several different versions, with handling capacities of
up to 60 kg, a maximum reach of 2.5 m, floor or shelf-mounted manipulators as well
as manipulators for harsh environments.
Foundry robots
The robot version Foundry is suitable for operating in harsh environments and has
special surface treatment and paint for excellent corrosion protection. The connectors
are designed for severe environments, and bearings, gears and other sensitive parts
are highly protected. The robots have the FoundryPlus protection which means that
the whole manipulator is IP67 classified and steam washable.
Foundry Prime
The robot version Foundry Prime is designed for water jet cleaning of casts and
machined parts, and similar very harsh environments.
The manipulator can withstand surrounding solvent based detergent (max. pH 9.0
and must contain rust inhibitor). The detergent must be approved by ABB. In addi-
tion, the manipulator can withstand indirect spray from jet pressure (max. 600 bar)
and 100% humidity. The manipulator can work in an environment with a cleaning
bath temperature < 60
moderate speed.
The robot is protected by special sealings for gears and bearings, pressurized motors
and electronic compartment, special detergent resistant polyurethane painting system
in three layers. Non painted surfaces has a special rust preventive coating, and motors
are sealed with a sealing compound.
As the robot is designed for very harsh environments, an extended service and main-
tenance program is required. For detailed information of the maintenance program,
see chapter Maintenance in the Product Manual.
The protection, Foundry Prime is only available for robot version IRB 4400/60.
See chapter Specification of Variants and Options for options not selectable together
with Foundry Prime.
