BookTEK 5 V3

Our all-in-one solution for all formats up to A3+.
Full featured production book scanner at an entry level price.

The world's best-selling book scanner

User-friendly and intuitive, the BookTEK 5 V3 operates seamlessly as a stand-alone unit or can be fully integrated into your network for enhanced workflow efficiency. Built for professional environments, it's designed for continuous operation, delivering consistent performance around the clock with 24/7 reliability. Ideal for high-volume digitization projects, it ensures maximum productivity and precision even under demanding conditions.

Digitization in brilliant quality

A high-resolution linear CCD camera with laser-controlled autofocus precisely follows the curvature of books, scanning along the reading direction.

Despite this precision, the scanner achieves a full A3+ scan in 0.8 seconds, and with the optional 600 dpi resolution, it completes the scan in just 2.4 seconds.

Versatile book cradle

Scan books in V-position at a 120° angle, which allows for safe scanning without damaging the bindings, even for rigid books that cannot be fully opened. The flat mode is perfect for scanning newspapers or posters. The unique magnetically coupled book cradle allows precise centering of the book fold, ensuring optimal alignment for every scan.
