BOOK SCANNING & EQUIPMENT

Book and rare-document scanning and archiving is one of Auto Docs key services offered to our global customer base. Auto Docs team have been using i2s scanning equipment for over 10 years now and have found it to be the highest quality available in the commercial scanning market place with great reliability and the required high levels of consistency to produce quality images for our customers. Auto Docs own outright, 10, i2s copibook book scanners, which have been developed specifically to be the best reference of standalone A2 book scanner in high resolution (up to 600 x 600 optical dpi) for bound (& unbound) documents and achieves the highest level of benefits on image quality, productivity, ergonomics, reliability & document preservation.

AutoDocs have also added to their range of scanners, the Copibook Cobalt HD COPIBOOK Cobalt HD is the new generation of COPIBOOK range developed by i2s. This new generation maintains its unique features and has been reinforced with innovations: using the application of your choice, new LED lighting, more ergonomics

 

LED LIGHTING

• LED lighting bar
• No UV, no IR
• Long life lighting
• No shadow nor reflection on the document
• Controlled by CopiBook software

 

CAMERA

• CCD camera with matrice sensor
• From 200 to 600 dpi on A2
• COPIBOOK Cobalt HD:
 • Optical resolution: 600 x 600 dpi
 • Scan time for A2 format at 600 dpi: 7,7 s in color and 5,5 s in greyscale
• No mechanical shutter: long-life cycle camera.
• No Bayer filter: full sensor resolution for R, G & B channels.
• Real-time preview.
• Fully automatic focus, black and white balance, calibration, auto-exposure
• Document format automatic detection
• Same speed whatever the document format.

 

BOOK CRADLE

The book cradle covers document formats up to 420 x 640 mm (16.5 x 25.2”).
• The maximum thickness is 10 cm for a maximum of 10 kg (3.9” / 22 lbs).
• Motorized up and down motion.
• Self-opening embedded glass with very safe pressure adjustment.
• Automatic capture when pulling down the glass.
• 90° glass parking position when scanning without glass.

 

ERGONOMICS

• Multi-automatic and intuitive capture modes (glass, foot switch, flip page detection).
• Book cradle with easy access from three sides.
• Sitting or standing operating mode.
• No aggressive light (LED lighting)
• A 16:9 23” HD screen for a real time optimized image quality control (optional).

 

FOR IMAGES OF UP TO A1 SIZE SUPRASCAN QUARTZ A1 V

• The SupraScan™ Quartz A1 HD is the best planetary scanner to digitize up to A1+ format with superior image quality and productivity.
• The new SupraScan™ generation, called “Quartz”, has been optimized and come today with a new HD camera, a new book cradle, a new lighting system, a new software and exclusive features. This is why, the SupraScan™ Quartz A1 HD is today the best high resolution scanner for A1 documents. The conception of the SupraScan™ Quartz A1 HD has taken into account the use of very fragile documents. This is why the scanning plate access, the glass pressure, the book cradle, the light technology are optimized to respect and minimize the contact with the documents.

 

RELIEF ENHANCEMENT

The SupraScan Quartz A1 V has the ability to digitize using only one lateral light (right or left). This exclusive feature allows you to enhance the relief of documents or objects and give a better value to your images.

 

GLARE SYSTEM CONTROL

The SupraScan Quartz A1 V offers an innovative feature preventing glares even on highly reflective documents (glossy paper, plastic blister, oil paintings, Mylar, etc.). This is an exclusive hardware solution (lighting system and optical head) and not a software processing.

 

BOOK CRADLE

SupraScan Quartz A1 V can be equipped with either a book cradle 25 (thickness 25 cm/ weight 25 kg) or a book cradle 40 (thickness 40 cm / weight 40 kg). These two options are:
 • similar to a Roberval system with electrical commands (up and down).,
 • motorized with electronic commands (no air compressor) and has an A1 glass plate with automated pressure and controls on the book. So digitization can be done without contact between the glass and the book.
The glass plate is easily removable: 1 person and 10 s only. The constant level of the document simplifies the daily use of the scanner by eliminating the need to setup the camera for each document. Security sensors detect intrusions between the glass plate and the book cradle and release pressure or stop the glass plate move (example: operator’s hand)

 

CAMERA QUARTZ

• Images are compliant with FADGI and Metamorfoze image quality guidelines.
• Focus is motorized and automatic.
• No image distortion: distance and angle between the camera and the document are fixed and the camera is always perpendicular to the document.
• All information is digitized: scanning the side hold by the glass plus 1 cm of the other side (page). This ensures capture of all information even in the books’ gutter. LIGHTING SYSTEM
• Very long life LED lightings. No UV and IR emission.
• Relief enhancement system.
• Exclusive glares free system.
• Lighting below the operator’s eyes level.
• Lights only switched on during the scan time.
