Kirtas Technologies Complete Robotic Book Digitization Solution

Quality results are the primary objective of any book digitization project. Quality includes not only superior images, but also high accuracy OCR, comprehensive metadata, and complete book integrity. And achieving this will allow you to use the book images to their fullest capability both now and for future undefined needs. Kirtas offers the only true COMPLETE Robotic Book Digitization Solution.

Highlights include:

• Patented SmartCradle(TM) Design
• SureTurn(TM) Robotic Page-turning Arm
• Page Edge Sensor
• Automatic Page Flattening

The KABIS family of automatic book scanners with its self-centering SmartCradle technology provides truly automatic book digitization. Self-centering keeps the book centered throughout the page-turning process, eliminating operator intervention and decreasing post processing activity. The Kirtas SmartCradle gently cradles the book at 110 degrees, optimal for low stress digitization of even rare and fragile books.

Do it once so they last forever!

The new KABIS III system continues the Kirtas tradition by providing the SmartCradle with new automatic book centering that increases post-processing productivity. The 110 degree position is optimal for low stress, gentle book positioning including fragile and rare books. Air flows and the Enhanced Page Separator combine to separate pages, and the newest SureTurn robotic arm with its vacuum head will gently lift and turn the page. KABIS III uses new clamps with streaming air jets to help flatten pages for optimum image quality. Within the vacuum head is our Page Edge Sensor technology to detect multi-page or no-page lift conditions and automatically take programmable corrective action. The result is full book content integrity and quality.
