Together with its patented LuminTec Stroboscopic illumination system for stop motion scanning, the flexScan scanner produces higher resolution images with quick turnaround times.
Bookeye 3 Book Scanner
Creative Technology. Fast Scans. Brilliant Results.
With their overhead scanning methodology, Bookeyes scan subject matter right side up, facilitating gentle digitisation of valuable books. Combined with a motorised book cradle, integrated glass plate and LED illumination, the Bookeye 3 is ideal for capturing bound documents, e.g. books, valuable scripts, folders, drawings, plans and much more.
Documents remain in their ”natural” state on the scan surface – they do not need to be unbound, separated or carefully positioned. The automatic book fold correction effectively reduces annoying shadows and distortions of thick bound documents. As such, the operator preserves the original document and achieves optimal reproduction quality.
Bookeye 3 includes several first of its kind technological advancements such as laser-assisted profile detection and high performance LED illumination along with precise scan lenses and CCD image sensors to set new standards in scanning speed and quality.
Motorized Book Cradle is Gentle on Delicate Materials
The Bookeye 3 is outfitted with a motorized book cradle that includes three types of adjustment controls. With the press of a button, the adjustable cradle plates bring both sides of an open book to the same level, directly under the glass plate, allowing the camera to capture the document with optimal clarity. The scan results are of a considerably higher quality than scanning without a book cradle. The cradle plates also optimally adjust to the width of the book’s spine without exerting unnecessary pressure on the book.
