Clearance distance
The four supplied clearance distances are 400, 800, 1200 and 1500 mm. Use the nearest possible object position, including robot motion, gripper dimensions, guarding and process tolerances.

Selection question
A 3D camera must see the required part surfaces throughout the complete depth of the process. Start with the available mounting distance, the nearest and farthest object position, and the field width at both limits. A larger range also changes the field of view and documented measurement performance.
The four supplied clearance distances are 400, 800, 1200 and 1500 mm. Use the nearest possible object position, including robot motion, gripper dimensions, guarding and process tolerances.
The supplied depth ranges are 400, 1000 and 2000 mm. Clearance distance and measurement range are fixed per SKU. Confirm that the complete part stack or working depth remains within that interval.
Base covers the S, M and L configurations. Pro is supplied here only as XL. Treat the series as part of the fixed SKU configuration and compare the documented resolution, field of view, repeatability and output delay for that SKU.
The selector contains four supplied combinations. Resolution, laser wavelength, field of view, accuracy, repeatability, dimensions, certification and power consumption remain SKU specifications below the selector.
Datasheet geometry is the starting point. Acceptance requires measurements with the intended camera position, robot, gripper, lighting conditions and part presentation.
Use measured production data. The required inputs depend on whether the camera supports robot guidance, inspection or both.

Clearance distance is the distance from the camera to the near limit of the measurement volume. Measurement range is the usable depth from that limit. Both values are fixed per MV-RS SKU.
No. The family contains four supplied combinations: Base-S 400/400 mm, Base-M 800/400 mm, Base-L 1200/1000 mm and Pro-XL 1500/2000 mm.
No. Base-S has RGB 3200 × 1944 and depth 1632 × 1080. Base-M and Base-L have RGB 3200 × 1944 and depth 1632 × 1264. Pro-XL has RGB 3968 × 3000 and depth 1920 × 1536.
Use the documented Class 2 rating in the machine risk assessment. Check access to the beam, reflections, warning labels, operating procedures and maintenance access for the actual installation.
No. The specifications cover camera acquisition and image-output timing under documented conditions. Point-cloud processing, communication, robot movement and recovery handling must be measured in the complete application.
Use the near, typical and far field dimensions for the selected SKU. Then test actual parts at all required heights and positions, including surfaces that other parts or the gripper may hide from the camera.
