APT BookScan 2400RA

Kirtas Technologies is the leader in quality, high-speed,nondestructive mass book digitization. Our patented robotic digitization systems, innovative processing software, high accuracy OCR, and unique archiving technology enable us to
provide multiple output options that stand the test of time.

Superior Image Quality
The Kirtas APT BookScan 2400RA incorporates two 21.1 megapixel Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III digital cameras to photograph each right- and left-hand page simultaneously through the cameras’ 24-105mm Zoom EF lenses. Resolution can be set to 330 or 400 pixels per inch, with the ability to interpolate to 600 dpi through BSE software.

Robotics Gentler Than the Human Hand
The patented SmartCradle™ Dynamic Book Handler holds the book open at exactly 110 degrees throughout the process, providing low-stress support for rare and fragile books. Meanwhile, the SureTurn™ robotic arm reduces the need for manipulating pages by hand. The computer-controlled arm uses an adjustable vacuum system, in tandem with page fluffers to gently pick up and turn one page at a time.

Quality Assurance
The APT BookScan 2400RA is equipped with two innovative solutions to ensure the highest quality capture. The Kirtas Page Edge Sensor monitors the APT’s performance and adjusts the head position as needed. The Kirtas Enhanced Page Separator isolates individual pages to ensure that only one page is turned at a time. In the rare instance that a page is missed or multiple pages are lifted, the Page Edge Sensor detects the misfeed and allows for corrective action.
