Bookeye 5 V3A Automated Book Scanner

Shown with V-glass resting on top of book pages.

The Bookeye® 5 V3A Automatic book scanner is the latest model in Image Access´ 5th generation of book scanners. Completely redesigned to meet the latest technological standards and to comply with the strictest environmental standards, it offers unsurpassed image quality paired with simple operation, a modern design, and literally maintenance-free operation for all professional applications.

With its 600 dpi and a scan time of less than 3 seconds for the entire A3+ capture area, it is equally suitable for large and small digitization projects.

The new, motor-driven V-shaped glass plate,

The new, motor-driven V-shaped glass plate ensures very gentle digitization of books, magazines, posters, folders, or bound documents of all kinds. Automatically traversing at speeds from 19mm/sec up to 113mm/sec and a total stroke of 25cm, it gently flattens originals using the V-shaped cradle. The contact pressure can be individually adjusted, guaranteeing the gentlest handling of originals and distortion-free scans. Like all other Image Access Bookeye book scanners, the book cradle can also be used in flat mode.

The V-shaped glass plate is controlled via the ScanWizard´s extended user interface. The new control panel with animated function buttons allows, among other things, horizontal movement up and down, setting the speed or the position in which the glass plate remains after the finished scan job. It does not necessarily have to be at the top or bottom. Depending on requirements, the glass plate can be removed and refitted without tools and in two simple steps.

A 21 inch full HD multi-touch screen allows the operator to control image quality and make modifications on the fly. Pinch and swipe on the touchscreen the same way you would on a smartphone to zoom or move around in the image during preview. Attach a second, optional screen to operate the scanner with the main touchscreen and preview images using the second screen.
The Live Preview function uses a second matrix camera to present a live video view of the document position before scanning.
Dark mode operation, new to the Bookeye 5 V3 book scanners, enhances scan quality through less light reflection and improves operation by reducing eye strain.

Magnetically coupled V-shaped book cradles allows users to digitize books and documents by either laying them flat on the scanning bed at 180°or in the V-cradle, at an angle of 120°.
