BookTEK 5 V1A-C50
BookTEK 5 V1A-C50 is the wide format book scanner of choice for digitization projects which require formats more than DINA1+ with a thickness of up to 50cm
High-performance scanning for oversized originals
The BookTEK 5 V1A-C50 is designed for demanding digitization projects, combining speed, precision, and ease of use. Capable of handling originals up to A1 size and book thicknesses of 35 or 50 cm, this scanner streamlines workflows with its motorized glass plate and versatile book cradle. Whether working in fixed, glass-free, or fully automatic modes, this scanner delivers exceptional image quality for even the most challenging tasks.
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.
Even at 600 dpi with all image enhancements activated, scanning takes only 4 seconds, and the complete cycle time, including all glass plate movements, is under 8 seconds.
Motorized glass plate
The BookTEK 5 V1A-C50 features a motorized, adjustable glass plate. Its automated movements streamline the scanning process, gently lowering onto the book to apply just the right amount of pressure for high-quality scans without damaging delicate pages.
Advanced book cradle design
The motor-driven book cradle handles books up to 35 cm high, with an optional upgrade to 50 cm, making it perfect for digitizing standard and oversized materials. Operators can easily switch between flat mode for open books and V-mode with a 140° opening angle to protect delicate spines and bindings.
Predefined book cradle modes
The BookTEK 5 V1A-C50 Book Cradle offers predefined modes for efficient scanning of various materials. Auto Mode enables fully automated operation, Book Mode scans open books flat, and V-mode gently handles delicate volumes with a 140° opening angle, ensuring excellent results while protecting fragile materials.
Dual monitor setup
With a spacious 27-inch 4K preview monitor in front of the operator for clear, detailed scanning feedback and a 21-inch Full HD multi-touchscreen for easy operation, this setup offers optimal control and visual clarity for smooth, efficient scanning.
