An imaging system includes a first imager, a second imager, and an aiming assembly. The aiming assembly is configured to selectively output light having at least one of a first pattern or a second pattern, where the light having the first pattern intersects a first imaging axis of the first imager and the light having the second pattern intersects a second imaging axis of the second imager. The aiming assembly defines a first light pathway that is common to the light for the first pattern and the second pattern and defines second and third light pathways. The light travels from the first light pathway along the second light pathway to selectively output the first pattern and travels from the first light pathway along the third light pathway to selectively output the second pattern.

Imaging system with aiming assembly configured to emit multiple light patterns

Concepts described in the present disclosure relate to imaging engines used in indicia readers, such as barcode readers. The imaging engine includes a printed circuit board, an imaging sensor, and imaging optics. Also, it includes an aiming assembly with an aiming illumination source and an aiming optics assembly. The assembly has an optic element holder and a first optical lens arrangement, where the optical holder includes at least one feature for active alignment in the XYZ direction. These arrangements produce different aim light patterns when projected on a surface.

Imaging engines for use with indicia readers and components thereof

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, illumination system, aiming system, and a first and second chassis. The imaging system includes a lens holder and at least one lens disposed within the lens holder and both a far imaging system and a near imaging system for capturing images across multiple fields of view at different distances. The illumination system and aiming system are physically positioned to provide illumination of a target in the near and/or far fields of view, and provide an aiming pattern to the near and/or far fields of view.
