Patent attributes
An aimer pattern projector assembly (200, 300) includes an LED light source (212, 312), an LED aperture plate (204, 304), and a projector lens (206, 306) disposed in front of and coaxial with the LED aperture plate (204, 304) and the LED light source (212, 312). The LED light source (212, 312), aperture plate (204, 304), and projector lens (206, 306) each have a central opening configured to accommodate and coaxially align with a line of sight of an imaging lens. The LED light source (212, 312) can include two or more LEDs operably coupled to a PCB. A coaxial aimer imager assembly (100) can include an imaging lens-sensor module (102) and the aimer pattern projector assembly. A method for scanning includes generating a combined aimer pattern coaxially aligned with a line of sight of an image of the object.
