Atiz BookDrive Mini Book Scanner

What is BookDrive Mini?

BookDrive Mini solves all problems found in conventional book scanners including page curvature, damage to the book spine and low productivity.

BookDrive uses a different approach called a V-shaped solution where a V-shaped glass and book cradle hold the book open at a non-stressful angle for scanning by high-speed, high-resolution digital SLR (DSLR) cameras.  This unique design guarantees sharp, curvature-free images in every scan. The scanning area is 10" x 15" (254mm x 380mm) per page.  BookDrive is easy-to-use, low maintenance and uses little power.

Atiz's unique V-shaped solution has helped hundreds of libraries worldwide scan millions of books.

A fully evolved book scanner

BookDrive mini is a unique V-shaped scanning solution.  It places the book on a V-shaped cradle that centres the binding throughout the scanning so no-further handling is required.  a V-glass gently engages the pages while two sensors - Canon DSLRs - individually capture true left- and right-hand pages by automatic capture timer and automatic sensor.  BookDrive captures natively curvature-free scans with straight lines of text.
