Fine-profile measurement at short range
A 6.8 mm Z range at a 21.4 mm working distance makes MV-DP2020 a short-range profiler for small height changes. Its X field expands only from 14 mm near to 14.6 mm far, while 3200 points describe each profile. Z resolution runs from 0.71 to 0.78 µm, repeatability is 0.22 µm, and the high-frame-rate range reaches 1.7 to 23.9 kHz.
The narrow X field and submicron Z sampling suit fine steps, edges, grooves and deposited features that fit inside the 14 to 14.6 mm measurement width. Profile traffic uses Gigabit Ethernet, with Fast Ethernet compatibility where the lower link rate is acceptable. A 12-pin M12 connection combines 24 VDC power with isolated inputs and differential timing channels for machine integration.
MV-DP2020 is the close-working, narrow-field choice beside MV-DP2050 and MV-DP2062. MV-DP2050 moves the reference distance to 47 mm and the field to 31.5 mm, while MV-DP2062 provides an 11 mm Z range around a 19 mm reference field at 61.5 mm. Keep MV-DP2020 for the 0.22 µm repeatability and 21.4 mm geometry; move to either neighbour when standoff or width governs selection.
Overview
A DP2000 series laser profiler — the base class: the sensor projects a laser line across the part and measures height at every point of the section, up to 3200 points per profile.
Working distance 21.4 mm, measurement range 6.8 mm.
Used where a profile is needed rather than a picture: weld bead control, adhesive bead height, gap and flush, warpage, parcel volume. Data goes to VM3D or 3DMVS, and to third-party software over a standard protocol.

Selection and applications
Micrometre-scale step and edge measurement over a 14 mm field. Short-range contour capture within a 6.8 mm Z envelope. High-rate 3200-point profiling up to 23.9 kHz.
Minimum kit: MV-DP2020, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, a 12-pin M12 power and I/O cable, a 24 VDC supply, and a host running 3DMVS form the minimum acquisition kit.
Nearby in the range: MV-DP2050 — Prefer it when a 31.5 mm reference field and 47 mm working distance are required.; MV-DP2062 — Prefer it for an 11 mm Z range, 19 mm reference field and 0.30 µm repeatability..

FAQ
What feature scale is matched to the MV-DP2020 measurement geometry?
The sensor covers 6.8 mm along Z and 14 to 14.6 mm across X, with 3200 points per profile. Its 0.71 to 0.78 µm Z resolution and 0.22 µm repeatability make it suited to comparing fine heights, edges and narrow surface features inside that compact field.
How much installation clearance does the MV-DP2020 require above the target?
The stated working distance is 21.4 mm, and the available height range is 6.8 mm. The X field changes from 14 mm at the near side to 14.6 mm at the far side, so fixture clearance and part travel should be checked against the whole measurement envelope.
What profile rate and network interface are available from MV-DP2020?
High-frame-rate operation spans 1.7 to 23.9 kHz. Profile transfer uses Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbit/s, letting the network link be chosen with the required scan rate and output load in view.
How are power and timing signals connected to this laser profiler?
A 12-pin M12 interface carries the 24 VDC supply and I/O. It provides two opto-isolated inputs, two differential inputs and one differential output. Typical consumption is 15.2 W at 24 VDC, so both the power source and I/O cable should be sized for that connection.
Which environmental limits apply when mounting MV-DP2020 on a line?
The housing is rated IP67. Operation is specified from 0 to 45 °C, storage from -30 to 80 °C, and humidity from 20 to 85% RH without condensation. The unit measures 139.5 × 111.5 × 60.5 mm and weighs approximately 1075 g.
Which application software is named for acquiring MV-DP2020 profiles?
3DMVS is the software named for this model. The sensor outputs its 3200-point profiles over Gigabit Ethernet, so the acquisition host and network should be selected around the chosen rate within the 1.7 to 23.9 kHz high-frame-rate range.
