FB5 – flatbed scanner

FB5  our most popular scanner

This scanner has been made for scanning of all kind of materials like paper, mylar, templates up to 1 inch thickness, positive and negative films, folded and fragile material.  It has a wide range of application areas like in the aero industry, mapping, telecommunication and publishing industry.

There are two different models:

  • FB5 GT – the scanner table is of clear glass
  • FB5 VT – the scanning table is a vacuum table

Both have the same scanning surface is 1070 mm x 1600 mm (~ 43 inches x 63 inches) and maximum optical resolution up to 1200 DPI!

  • FB5

    FB5 GT

     

  • The FB5 GT has a glass table and a cover glass on top of it. Thin materials  to be scanned like paper, mylar, film are positioned between these. Thicker materials like metal templates are scanned without the top glass plate.

    The scanner has two light sources, front light and back light. The front light is used for scanning non transparent material like paper. The back light is used for transparent material like films and negatives.

    FB5 VT

  • This scanner is made to handle folded, old and fragile materials. The FB5 VT is equipped with a vacuum table. The vacuum table is connected to a powerful pump that can be switched on and off by the operator. The material is sucked to the table. The vacuum will carefully flatten the material. If the material is especially bulky a plexiglass plate can be put on top of the material to make the vacuum effect even better.
