Working ranges
The working range of axis 2 can be restricted according to the table below. The table applies
to all robot versions except IRB 4400/FS.
Note! Initial position for the IRB 4450S is +48°
• Each damper is fitted with: 2 attachment screws and 2 hexagon nuts.
• Each spacer is fitted with: 1 attachment screw and 1 hexagon nut.
Fitting, mechancial stop axis 2
The procedure below details how to fit the additional mechanical stop to the lower arm and
