Digitization in brilliant quality
A high-resolution linear CCD camera with laser-controlled autofocus precisely follows the curvature of books, scanning along the reading direction.
Even at 600 dpi with all image enhancements activated, scanning takes only 4 seconds, and the complete cycle time, including all glass plate movements, is under 8 seconds.
Advanced book cradle design
The self-leveling book cradle supports books up to 30 kg and offers a 20 cm lift, enabling flexible scanning in either flat mode or V-mode with a 140° opening angle. The cradle’s adjustable plates separate to accommodate spines up to 20 cm, and books up to 25 cm thick can be scanned without using the glass plate.
Enhanced with flexible fabric, it bridges gaps between plates, offering optimal support for damaged spines.
Motorized glass plate
The BookTEK 5 V1A features a motorized, height-adjustable, borderless glass plate that opens to any user-defined angle. Its automated movements streamline the scanning process, gently lowering onto the book to apply just the right amount of pressure for high-quality scans without damaging delicate pages.
Ergonomic control with dual monitor setup
With a spacious 27-inch 4K preview monitor in front of the operator for clear, detailed scanning feedback and a 21-inch Full HD multi-touchscreen for easy operation, this setup offers optimal control and visual clarity for smooth, efficient scanning.
Gentle automation
Before scanning, the lift motor gently lowers the glass plate onto the book, with pressure finely adjustable up to 10 kg (22 lbs) under operator control. Once the book’s thickness is programmed, the scanner opens and closes the glass plate at adjustable speed, allowing the user to flip pages.
Pressing the stop button on the right side of the keyboard halts all motors instantly. Operations can resume smoothly once any interruptions are resolved.
Versatility in a single device
The scanner’s book cradle offers exceptional versatility, supporting fully opened books at 180° with or without the glass plate, as well as partially opened books using its V-shaped cradle. This all-in-one design eliminates the need for multiple models, providing a comprehensive solution for various scanning scenarios.
This scanner exceeds all creteria set forth in the FADGI *** and ISO 19264-1 level B guidelines.
Powerful software
Achieve exceptional scanning results with advanced features like automatic crop and deskew, as well as virtual rescan. Depending on the device type, options like finger and thumb removal, automatic width detection, or 3D scanning for authentic digitization of textured surfaces are also available.
Our software further supports seamless copying and archiving, allowing you to send documents to various destinations, including SMB, FTP, printers, email, and cloud storage.
No compromises on security
All Image Access Scanners are based on a Linux operating system, which is extremely secure and virus-resistant. Nevertheless, the device is easy and intuitive to use and, when operated over the network, fits seamlessly into any Windows work environment.
