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 and a chassis. The imaging system includes a lens holder and at least one lens disposed within the lens holder. The lens holder includes a lens holder mounting portion. The chassis includes a chassis mounting portion adapted to couple with the lens holder mounting portion.

Imaging lens system and scan engine chassis

Methods and apparatus for aligning a lens holder in a small-height scan engine are disclosed herein. An example method for aligning a lens holder in a small-height scan engine includes: mounting an image sensor to a circuit board; optically aligning, using one or more alignment fixtures, a lens holder holding one or more lenses or optical elements with the image sensor based upon one or more images captured by the image sensor through the lens holder; and after the lens holder and image sensor are optically aligned, physically aligning, using the one or more alignment fixtures, the lens holder with the circuit board based upon a misalignment between a surface of the lens holder and an edge of the circuit board.
