The DL-MINI is a series of robotic page turning scanners that require no operator intervention after the book is set up in the scanner and this scanner does a complete job of scanning from cover to cover. Robotic Page Turning Book ScannerThe DL-MINI is a turnkey solution combining precision crafted Swiss engineered hardware and sophisticated software to deliver high quality, high resolution images requiring no post-processing. The Series covers scanners that produce results in 400 and 600 DPI true optical resolution. Certain DL-Mini models are FADGI compliant. For detailed specifications contact Indus.
The DL-Mini series of robotic and manual book scanners allow books to be scanned from cover to cover and with minimal operator intervention once the book is properly positioned on the self-adjusting built-in book cradles. There are three versions within the DL-Mini series. The sophisticated and clever design protects fragile books without damaging bindings and can handle challenging small books that tend to close spontaneously.
Almost all types of documents can be manually scanned in the DL-Mini. Certain models with a single capture system can deliver a single image of an A2+ document, while the model with a two-camera capture system will deliver two-page images from books that are placed on the cradle. Unusual documents like photo albums, stamp albums, spiral notebooks, postcards, manuscripts, etc. can be easily scanned in the DL Mini.
The technology incorporated allows the Dl-Mini to detect double-page pickup and then automatically makes the system retry the pickup process, ensuring eventual pickup of a single page without operator intervention. Throughput between 1300 pages and 1500 per hour can be reached. It has an auto-centering book cradle that ensures that books are placed without pressure on the bindings, allowing the pages for optimal image exposure down to the book gutter. Book size is automatically detected, which allows optimal scanning of the largest variety of materials.
