End effector flange
The end effector flange is used to attach an end effector to the system.
The end effector flange is mounted on the last module of the kinematic structure of the robot. At the module coupler, the end effector flange is mechanically connected to the module using connecting terminals.
The power supply and robot communication are transmitted to the end effector flange through interface contacts.
End effector variants with I/O support are available. The following pin assignments for the M8 connectors are provided here.
