The Kirtas KABIS IIIW Difference

The new KABIS IIIW system continues the Kirtas tradition by providing the SmartCradle™ with state-of-the-art automatic book centering that increases post-processing productivity while providing for gentler handling of the material being scanned. The 110 degree cradle  position is optimal for low stress book positioning and is ideal for fragile and rare books. Air flows and Enhanced Page Separator combine to achieve page separation and the newest SureTurn™ robotic arm with its vacuum head will gently lift and reliably turn the page. Within the vacuum head is our Page Edge Sensor technology to detect multi-page or no-page lift conditions and automatically take programmable corrective action. The result is full book content integrity and quality. The newest KABIS Manager Plus (KM+) software provides a simple user interface to let you start digitizing quickly. The new interface provides easier monitoring of page capture and management for accuracy.
