Flange I/O
The end flange cover of the robot has two M8 spec 8-pin connectors, and refer to the figure below for the location and shape.
The connector supplies power and control signals necessary to operate the gripper or sensors embedded within specific robot tools. The following are sample industrial cables (equivalent cables can be used):
- Phoenix contact 1404178, male (Straight)
- Phoenix contact 1404182, male (Right Angle)
The pin map of each connector is as follows:

Digital input | - | 6 | - | EA |
Warning
- Set up the tool and gripper so that they do not cause any hazards when power is cut off.
(e.g., workpiece falling from the tool) - The No. 5 terminal of each connector outputs 24V at all times while power is supplied to the robot, so make sure to cut the power supply to the robot when setting up the tool and gripper.
