Performance

A Stable productivity and high quality Images generation are achieved simultaneously. The Digitizing line allows full production rate at 24 hours a day and 7 days a week including careful page handling at any time.

Intensive production and higher throughput for similar books may be reached using presets. A flexible algorithm will find automatically the best way to separate pages. One operator may manage 4 Digitizing Lines at the same time and reach a productivity close to 6000 pages per hour. Document details.

Quality of flat Images

What can't be done

Among a large variety of books and bound documents that may be processed on the Digitizing Line there is a minor set of particular cases that should be excluded:

• Books with very rigid bindings
• Spiral bound documents or bound in clamped folders
• The combination of very thick books with a very small page format
• Documents with extreme variations in page thickness
• Documents with foldouts or lose sheets
• Short pages mixed with long pages outside the tolerance of about 25 mm (1 in)
