Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to devices, systems, and methods associated with optical data capture. In some embodiments, the present invention is a barcode reader that includes a first linear imaging assembly, a second linear imaging assembly, and an aiming assembly configured to emit a linear aiming light pattern, where the aiming light pattern is planarly aligned with the fields of view of the first and second imaging assemblies.
Claims20
A barcode reader comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity;
- a first imaging assembly positioned within the cavity, the first imaging assembly having a first linear imaging sensor and a first lens assembly, the first imaging assembly having a first linear field of view (FOV);
- a second imaging assembly positioned within the cavity, the second imaging assembly having a second linear imaging sensor and a second lens assembly, the second imaging assembly being separate from the first imaging assembly, the second imaging assembly having a second linear FOV;
- and
- an aiming assembly positioned within the cavity, the aiming assembly having an aiming illumination source and an aiming beam shaper, the aiming assembly being configured to emit a linear aiming light pattern,
- wherein the first linear FOV, the second linear FOV, and the linear aiming light pattern are coplanar.

A method of manufacturing a barcode reader, the method comprising:
- providing a housing having a cavity;
- positioning a first imaging assembly within the cavity, the first imaging assembly having a first linear imaging sensor and a first lens assembly, the first imaging assembly being positioned such that it has a first linear field of view (FOV);
- positioning a second imaging assembly within the cavity, the second imaging assembly having a second linear imaging sensor and a second lens assembly, the second imaging assembly being separate from the first imaging assembly, the second imaging assembly being positioned such that it has a second linear FOV;
- and
- positioning an aiming assembly within the cavity, the aiming assembly having an aiming illumination source and an aiming beam shaper, the aiming assembly being configured to emit a linear aiming light pattern,
- wherein the first linear FOV, the second linear FOV, and the linear aiming light pattern extend over the same plane.
