Abstract: A line scan camera comprises a printed circuit board upon which a charge-coupled device (CCD) is mounted. A lens component is fixed within a lens mount, and the base of the lens mount is adjustably mounted upon an optical bench. Calibration devices adjustably interconnect the lens mount to the printed circuit board and to the optical bench so as to calibrate the positional location of the lens component relative to the charge-coupled device (CCD) and to an object plane past which objects to be scanned and photographed are conveyed. In this manner, the focus distance defined between the lens component and the charge-coupled device (CCD) as well as the focal distance defined between the lens component and the object plane are fixed and do not need any further calibration. The object plane is defined upon the front surface of a sealed housing enclosure and all of the components are disposed within the housing enclosure so as to prevent dust and contaminants from collecting upon the optical components. LED arrays are disposed within the front of the housing so as to illuminate and properly expose the objects conveyed past the object plane. A positive pressure differential is also created within the sealed housing enclosure so as to prevent the ingress of dust and contaminants into the housing enclosure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved lens focusing and holding arrangement for an imaging system of the type which may include a photosensor array. The lens may be in contact with a reference surface or surfaces formed within the imaging system housing and may be translatable along the surface in directions toward and away from the photosensor array in order to adjust the focus of the imaging system. A lens retention clip may be provided to secure the lens within the imaging system housing and to cause translational movement of the lens along the imaging system reference surface. When focusing the imaging system, the lens retention clip may be in a first operating condition in which the lens retention clip applies a relatively small force tending to hold the lens in contact with the housing reference surface. After the desired focus has been set, the lens retention clip may be placed in a second operating condition in which the lens retention clip applies a relatively high force tending to hold the lens in contact with the housing reference surface, thus locking the lens in place.
