DRAGON A1+

The versatile V-shape scanning studio

The Dragon starts, where other scanning systems reach their limits

Valuable, old books deserve special attention to put their beauty in its true light. Heightened and waved surfaces, special inks and colors and especially gold grounds and gildings require more than standard solutions.

The book2net Dragon meets the requirements for the most flexible and individual system design possible for the gentle scanning of special historical collections in A1 to A4 format with a small opening angle. Freely selectable setting parameters allow individual scanning positions as well as standardized, productive workflows. Positioning the cameras on slide rails enables format-filling images of the highest quality. Special lenses can be used as an option for special tasks.

Standardized format changes from A1 to A4 are possible in just a few simple steps. The angle adjustment of the camera position guarantees exact scanning results in the book fold and overlap area. Fine adjustment using the 3-axis camera support system ensures distortion-free, parallel and perpendicular alignment to the original. Our LED light concept (UV/IR free) ensures outstanding illumination. On request, the opening angle of the book cradle can be adjusted and combined with a corresponding V-shaped glass plate.
