SMA proudly presents the Contactless Scanner EPIC 4870. It is the latest design in the market to digitize originals face up without the intervention of a glass plate so contactless scanning is possible. Moreover the Contactless Scanner EPIC 4870 comes with V3D technology, a new scanning technology which allows users to scan many different types of originals. It offers the capability of digitizing structured surfaces such as wood, rubber, plastic, fabrics, carpet, marble, glass and many more types of material. Finally, light reflecting items such as coins, seals and metal prints can be captured at the highest quality. The V3D technology presents new opportunities as it can be applied to materials outside the normal archive and library world.
V3D stands for VISUAL 3D. It is a newly designed scanning technology that produces results that look like 3D. The process is based on different lighting scenarios where the same area is being captured with several different lighting intensities on the fly. The software then combines the separate images into one image. As a result V3D images offer perfect reproductions of nearly any structured surface. In addition it increases the depth of field significantly. This approch is unique and raises the outstanding image quality of SMA scanners to another level. The V3D function can be disabled and regular 2D scanning can be performed.
SMA is the only company in the world that offers a full line of large format flatbed scanners varying from A1+ to double A0+ as well as a line of manual and robotic book scanners. With the addition of a contactless scanner SMA widens their product range further. All flatbed scanners are suitable for scanning large and fragile originals that do not require a book cradle or cannot be handled by a feeder. The book scanners are designed to handle large and thick bound originals utilizing a pressure sensor controlling the book cradle. The new SMA EPIC 4870 was created to digitize structured surfaces contact free. All SMA scanners offer the highest possible optical resolution in the market – in particular in large sizes such as A0 and above.
Operating the Contactless Scanner EPIC 4870 is easy and straight forward. The object table can be removed and rolled around freely. This comes in handy in particular when the original to be scanned is large and/or heavy. Simply roll the table to the object, placed it on the table, roll the table back to the scanner and plug it in. Now you can hit the scan button and the rest of the process is fully automatic. The optical scanning unit moves downwards until the optimal position is reached. A laser grid system constantly monitors the surface of the original and stops the camers once it has reached its scanning position. All SMA scanners are equipped with a special LED light illuminator that does not produce any ultraviolet or infrared radiation. Harmless and uniform illumination is guaranteed. The illuminator of all SMA scanners is located inside the scan head and is simply moved across the original. As a result all SMA scanners can be operated independent from ambient light and do not irritate the operator‘s eyes.
SMA scanners were designed for applications where speed is an issue. The utilized scanning and interface technology guarantees the highest possible productivity. Further, the capability of scanning bidirectionally cuts the mechanical impact in half and increases the productivity further. It doesn’t get any faster than that!
Our line of scanners is equipped with an unique scan engine Made in Germany. It provides high quality images based on state of the art technology. Bitonal, grey scale or color images can be produced with a resolution of up to 1200 ppi. All our scanners achieve a very high geometrical accuracy.

WideTEK® 24F is the newest addition to the Image Access family of large format flatbed scanners. Incorporating the latest camera technology and illumination techniques, it is not only extremely fast but also scans highly accurately at resolutions up to 1200 dpi but is still an affordable solution.
By far the fastest CIS flatbed scanner on the market, WideTEK 24F completes a full 600dpi color scan of the entire area in less than 4 seconds. During those few seconds, the image is compressed and sent over the network, all while the competitor´s product is still working on its 200dpi scan. The 1200dpi resolution provides details of the scanned document not even visible to the human eye.
WideTEK 24F features a solid glass plate protecting the scanner from being exposed to dirt and dust, wet ink or paint, or any other objects. Because the glass top extends from edge to edge, it allows scanning of oversized objects and supports thicker objects with the adjustable height of the lid. You can pull up the lid and readjust the stops to a higher position. This way you can scan a canvas or any other thicker object of up to five cm or two inches. The lid can easily be removed completely. The scanning portion of the glass is practically invisible due to its anti-reflection coating. Cleaning is a snap and special treatment for high scratch resistance ensures a long lifetime of the scanning glass.
The color space of the WideTEK 24F is much wider than SRGB and the output can also be set to Adobe RGB or native RGB. Our unique online ICC profiling eliminates the last remaining imperfections.
The virtual rescan function eliminates the need to physically rescan documents. Almost all scanning parameters can be changed on the fly and the results can be seen instantly on the built-in touchscreen or on the optional external monitor.
The WideTEK 24F flatbed scanner is a real production scanner, built to last with little or no maintenance requirements.
This scanner exceeds all criteria set forth in the FADGI *** guidelines, Metamorfoze Light and ISO 19264-1 level B.

It scans the full bed (DINA2+, 18.5×25″.) at 300dpi color in less than three seconds, which is two times faster than the closest competition.
The new scratch resistant, non-reflective glass plate has been expanded to reach the edges of the scanner, making it 100% protective of the documents laid on it. No more bent or folded edges on your source documents.
The WideTEK® 25-650 brings you an even higher return on investment with the addition of the WT25-BACKLIGHT option for scanning transparent material of all kinds, like X-rays, glass negatives, 35mm microfilm aperture cards, cutout stencils, sepias and film.
The optional backlight unit replaces the standard scanner lid. It is easily assembled and users can scan with or without the backlight, depending on the source material requirements, by simply switching the light on or off. The unit can be purchased separately for customers who already own a WideTEK 25-650. If you are a service provider, this gives you even more ways to generate revenues with your WideTEK 25.
In the medical sector, operators can scan negatives, radiography, cardio plaques and larger paper documents in black and white, color or grayscale as required. The WideTEK 25 is compact, only (76cm, 30″) wide, so it will fit in any doctor´s office or hospital floor.
There are many film scanners available on the market for small image formats and even medium sized images, but in the large format range, film scanners are very rare and/or prohibitively expensive. WideTEK 25-650 goes far beyond just film scanning and does it an a surprisingly affordable price.
Municipalities, cadastral offices, oil companies, GIS services and other government agencies use the WideTEK 25-650 to digitize and archive a number of different types of documents. But the WideTEK 25 is also ideal for photographers, galleries, advertising agencies and graphic artists to present and preserve their work in a digital format.
The revolutionary 3D scanning mode opens many new opportunities in the printing and industrial inspection markets.
The 3D scanning mode captures the texture of surfaces so perfectly that the scan on a screen looks like the real thing.
The WideTEK 25 has two LED lamps, twice as many as the competition. With their new diffusors, these lamps produce an extremely homogeneous illumination which eliminates all unwanted shadows caused by folds, wrinkles and other distortions of the scanned object.
It also comes with a built-in 64bit Linux PC running on an Intel i3 quad core processor and 8GB of memory.
Using the latest camera technology this scanner exceeds all criteria set forth in the FADGI *** and Metamorfoze light guidelines.
Simply put, there is no better large format flatbed scanner on the market than the WideTEK 25-650, with or without the optional backlight unit.
