Abstract
Scanning assemblies are disclosed herein. An example scanning assembly includes a slot scanner and a mounting system. The slot scanner includes an imaging assembly configured to capture an image frame appearing in a field of view (FOV) and a housing having a cavity configured to accommodate the imaging assembly. The mounting system includes a flange member at least partially surrounding an opening formed within the mounting system, and at least two support arms extending from the flange. The at least two support arms engage a portion of the housing of the slot scanner to retain the slot scanner within the opening formed by the flange.
Claims30
A scanning assembly, comprising:
- a slot scanner including:
- an imaging assembly configured to capture an image frame appearing in a field of view (FOV);
- a housing having a cavity configured to accommodate the imaging assembly;
- a mounting system including:
- a flange member at least partially surrounding an opening formed within the mounting system, and
- at least two support arms extending from the flange, the at least two support arms adapted to engage a portion of the housing of the slot scanner to retain the slot scanner within the opening formed by the flange member.
A mounting system for a scanning device comprising:
- a flange member at least partially surrounding an opening formed within the mounting system, and
- at least two support arms extending from the flange, the at least two support arms adapted to engage a portion of a slot scanner to retain the slot scanner within the opening formed by the flange.
A method of manufacturing a mounting system formed from a single sheet of metallic material, the method comprising:
- providing a flat metallic sheet;
- removing an interior portion from the flat metallic sheet to define a flange member and at least two support arms extending from the flange member;
- performing a progressive bending process, the progressive bending process causing each of the at least two support arms to be bent at an angle between approximately 60° and approximately 120° relative to a plane defined by the flange member.
