Abstract
A scan assembly comprises a monolithic metal frame having an outer wall defining an interior frame portion. The interior frame portion has a scan region to support and at least partially house a scan unit to be movable within and relative to the scan region and has a control region to support and at least partially house a control panel. The outer wall has a first face exposed to the interior frame portion and an opposite second face to be directly exposed to an external environment.
