Date: To be implemented in production at the 1st of September
Product(s) Affected: All e-Series

Overview
We have improved the M8 connector at the flange to move towards a more robust connector solution.

When: The first Cobot with M8 female will not ship before September. Detailed information about the date and technical details will be announced during Q3 2024.

Detailed info: The current M8 connector will be changed from a male version to a female version. The connector will be inside the tool cap as illustrated in the pictures below.
We will provide an adaptor (15 cm adaptor cable, Male – Male M8) to soften the transition and enable tools with the current connector type.
