Abstract
A scan engine for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV) is provided that includes an imaging system and a chassis. The imaging system includes a lens holder and at least one lens disposed within the lens holder. The lens holder includes a lens holder mounting portion. The chassis includes a chassis mounting portion adapted to couple with the lens holder mounting portion.
Claims23
A scan engine for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV), comprising:
- an imaging system including a lens holder and at least one lens disposed within the lens holder, the lens holder including a lens holder mounting portion;
- a chassis including a body defining at least one cavity, the chassis including a chassis mounting portion adapted to couple with the lens holder mounting portion;
- and
- an aiming system and an illumination system, each of the aiming system and the illumination system being at least partially disposed in the at least one cavity of the chassis,
- wherein the lens holder mounting portion is arranged on an outer periphery of the lens holder and the chassis mounting portion is arranged on an outer periphery of the body of the chassis.
An assembly for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV), the assembly comprising:
- a circuit board;
- an imaging system operably coupled with the circuit board including a lens holder and at least one lens disposed within the lens holder, the lens holder including a lens holder mounting portion;
- a chassis including a body defining at least one cavity, the chassis including a chassis mounting portion adapted to operably couple with the lens holder mounting portion;
- an aiming system at least partially disposed within the at least one cavity;
- and
- an illumination system at least partially disposed within the at least one cavity;
- wherein the imaging system, the aiming system, and the illumination system are communicatively coupled with the circuit board, and
- wherein the lens holder mounting portion is arranged on an outer periphery of the lens holder and the chassis mounting portion is arranged on an outer periphery of the body of the chassis.
A method of assembling a scan engine for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV), the method comprising:
- operably coupling an imaging system including a lens holder adapted to retain at least one lens therein with a circuit board, the lens holder including a lens holder mounting portion;
- positioning a chassis in a raised position relative to the circuit board, the chassis including a body defining at least one cavity, the chassis including a chassis mounting portion;
- and
- rotating the chassis to a lowered position whereby the chassis mounting portion couples with the lens holder mounting portion.
