Apparently high throughput is the most striking feature of a production scanner. However, in the mid-volume segment other features and success factors such as user friendliness, ease of operation, the highest possible scan quality and smart features as well as sensible functionalities are more important here. In other words, state-of-the-art digitization does not always require maximum throughput but always genuine production scanners that address all relevant issues.

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.

The SCAN MASTER A2 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.
