Designed for the highest demands

Scanning large-format originals such as newspaper volumes, plans, posters or paintings places special demands on devices and users in terms of quality and ergonomics. At the same time, the productivity factor is becoming increasingly important when carrying out digitization projects of bulky or heavy originals.

With the book2net Hornet A0, we have developed a high-performance scanner with PLC-controlled precision drive that guarantees extremely gentle digitization and at the same time meets the special requirements of mass digitization.
