The ROBO SCAN 0 is completely unique. It combines the capabilities of a manual A0 book scanners and the convenience of an A1 robotic book scanner in one. Since the robotic function can be disabled the ROBO SCAN 0 is extremely versatile. It can scan A0 maps and books manually and books up to A1 robotically! There is no product like this in the world!
The ROBO SCAN 1 is the only robotic book scanner is the world that can handle books up to A1 fully automatic. For very problematic, rare or fragile books the robotic function can be disables and the ROBO SCAN 1 can be utilized like a manual book scanner. This is unique and there is no scanner in the market that combines all those features!
The ROBO SCAN 2 is a robotic A2+ book scanner that can handle books up to 35 cm thickness. Further the ROBO SCAN 2 operates at very high optical resolution. For very problematic, rare or fragile book the robotic function can be disables and the ROBO SCAN 2 turns into a manual book scanner. This is unique and there is no scanner in the market that combines all those features!
The robotic book scanner ROBO SCAN V2 is the most versatile robotic book scanner in the market. It offers the advantages of a robot combined with the convenience of a manual book scanner. The ROBO SCAN V2 was designed for realistic digitization projects where the robotic part can do most of the job but the same scanner is also able to handle problematic books in manual mode.
The robotic book scanner ROBO SCAN V2 is a unique product which offers robotic and manual scanning in the same unit. Moreover originals can be scanned in different orientations. For best results the use of a glass plate is recommended. The whole procedure of turning the pages, moving the v-shaped glass plate up and down and releasing the scan is a fully automated process.
Scanning books without exposing them to any pressure or simply contact-free is also possible. The v-shaped glass can be removed within less than one minute.
The ROBO SCAN V2 also allows you to scan manually. If there is a problematic book that the robotic arm can‘t handle, the robotic function can be disabled and the pages can be turned manually.
In fact the ROBO SCAN V2 offers even more! It is also possible to change the book cradle from v-shape to flat in order to scan magazines, photographs, maps or any other single sheet originals.
The ROBO SCAN V2 can be operated via touch panel or optionally with Batch Scan Wizard which is a fast and easy to use software solution for professional management of large scanning volumes and jobs. The software increases data throughput and reduces operational tasks substantially. Batch Scan Wizard is ideal for processing large volume scanning jobs but is just as useful for smaller volumes in which more advanced operations like page splitting or extracting specific areas on a document is required.
he A0 book scanner SCAN MASTER 0 4838 is an alternative to the well-known SCAN MASTER 0 3650. With a scan orientation like the SCAN MASTER 2 and SCAN MASTER 1 scanning from back to front and vice versa it achieves a higher productivity than the SCAN MASTER 0 3650. Moreover the SCAN MASTER 0 4838 is upgradeable to robotic scanning. With a motorized standard book cradle of 35 cm range it can handle really big stuff. If this is not enough a motorized 50 cm book cradle is optional available. Operating the SMA SCAN MASTER 0 3848 A0 book scanner is nice and easy. Simply place the book and hit the scan button. The rest of the process is fully automatic. All the operator has to do is to flip the page and release the scan. 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 book scanners can be operated independent from ambient light and do not irritate the operator‘s eyes.
The SCAN MASTER 0 3848 ab book scanner 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 and many more types of material. Finally, light reflecting items such as coins, seals, metal prints and silver or Gold coated originals 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 scenarios 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.
