Vehicle vision system

A vision sensor comprising:

• a housing defining an internal cavity and an orifice providing access to the internal cavity;
• a lens disposed within the orifice, secured to the housing such that a position of the lens is affixed relative to the housing, and defining a focal plane within the internal cavity;
• a circuit board disposed within the internal cavity and secured to the housing such that a position of the circuit board is affixed relative to the housing and relative to the lens;
• an image sensor disposed within the internal cavity and connected to the circuit board;
• and
• an actuator disposed on the circuit board and configured to adjust a position of the image sensor relative to the circuit board without repositioning the circuit board to align the image sensor with the focal plane.

A method of manufacturing a vision sensor, the vision sensor having a lens, a circuit board, and an image sensor comprising:

• affixing a position of the lens onto a base structure of the vision sensor;
• affixing a position of the circuit board onto the base structure and relative to the lens;
• attaching the image sensor to the circuit board via at least one actuator;
• and
• adjusting a position of the image sensor relative to the circuit board via the at least one actuator after the circuit board has been affixed relative to the lens to algin the image sensor with a focal plane that is defined by the lens.
