ElarScan A1 is a planetary scanner for fast and convenient color, grayscale and black-and-white digitization of books, magazines, catalogs, newspapers, drawings, paintings and other documents up to A1+ format. The contactless method of digitization eliminates the mechanical impact on the originals providing their safety.

The main features of ElarScan A1 are the ability to scan large-format originals up to the A1 format and more, as well as the presence of a 4-segment lighting system that can provide uniform illumination, as well as transmitting the texture and artistic features of the originals.

The scanner is equipped with a professional 50MP CMOS RGB camera, which allows for high-quality digitization with the ability to autofocus and automatically adjust to originals of various thicknesses and textures. It is possible to focus on objects up to A3 format and access to the scan system control functions in the embedded ScanImage software.

ElarScan A1 is equipped with V-shaped book cradle, with individually adjusted angle of inclination of the placeholders and additional recess for the spine. The cradle can open at 90, 120 and 180 degrees and is designed to scan originals up to 24 cm thick and weighing up to 20 kg. Separate lifting of the plates allows scanning the books and bound documents lifting the right and left pages separately. All the main elements of the book cradle design are made of metal and have high resource of work at the maximum load.

For gentle scanning of bound documents with a thick spine, the scanner can be upgraded to the ElarScan A1-600KS version – a floor-mounted version with an automated deep book cradle and a flat hinged glass. Also, optionally the scanner can be equipped with a flat tabletop for scanning originals in A0 format.
