Product Specification IRB 4400 M98A/BaseWare OS 3.2 9
Using a key switch, the robot can be locked in two or three different operating modes 
depending on chosen mode selector:
•  Automatic mode: Running production 
•  Manual mode at reduced speed: Programming and setup
Max. speed: 250 mm/s (600 inches/min.)
•  Manual mode at full speed (option): Testing at full program speed
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.)
