ROBO SCAN 1
The ROBO SCAN 1 is the only robotic book scanner capable of handling books up to A1 size fully automatically. It combines cutting-edge automation with the flexibility of manual operation, making it a world-class solution for digitising both robust and delicate materials. When working with fragile or rare books, the robotic mode can be deactivated, instantly transforming the ROBO SCAN 1 into a manual scanner.
This hybrid capability allows for maximum productivity, precision, and care, all within one device. Trusted by archives, libraries, and institutions globally, the ROBO SCAN 1 redefines performance and versatility in large-format book scanning.
Micrographic Engineering Services is an authorised dealer of SMA scanners in Australia.
