A1/ A2 book scanner with V-shape glass plate and semi-robotics for the conservation digitization of valuable books and manuscripts

The scanning of old, valuable book collections such as illuminated manuscripts and incunabula poses particular demands on the equipment and the operators with regard to care, quality and ergonomics. At the same time, the productivity is becoming increasingly important for the implementation of digitization projects with sensitive and vulnerable originals.

With the book2net Cobra, available as A1 or A2 system, we have developed a high- performance scanner with a computer-controlled precision drive that guarantees extremely gentle digitization, meets ergonomic requirements and at the same time enables high productivity.

The preservation approved book cradle with variable glass plates, the modular lighting unit and programmable control modules make the book2net Cobra a uniquely versatile scanning system – precisely adjustable to the specific requirements of your valuable originals.
