The Contex AC30 & AC50 are the perfect choice for clients with medium to high scanning volume. The gentle card transport enables trouble-free scanning of even sensitive cards with a high quality. The outstanding scanning quality, integrated grayscale imaging and high productivity are opening a wide range of applications.

• High quality scans from any kind of aperture card
• High performance – AC30: 300 cards / hour; AC50: 600 cards / hour
• Better scan results at first scan due to sophisticated image enhancement tools
• Storage of all Hollerith files for further processing (database)
• The unique LED light source prevents overheating and guarantees an optimal processing even of thermal cards.

Extended functionality is our standard

 

The Contex AC30 and AC50 offer three basic functions for single card and for batch processing:

• Scan-to-File ~ The function Scan-to-File enables to scan single cards or batches of up to 100 cards directly into a file.
• Scan-to-Print ~ The option Scan-to-Print allows the user to scan single cards or batches of up to 100 cards and to print them directly over the plotter connected.
• Scan-to-File and to-Print ~ Scan-to-File and to-Print gives you the possibility to scan, file, and directly print aperture  cards via the plotter connected. In the single card mode you have the possibility to print with individual parameters.

 

Advanced image enhancement

 

Beside the basic functions the integrated image enhancement tool offers a number of outstanding image processing functions for the scanning of single cards in manual mode. This guarantees a high level digital archiving of the scanned aperture cards.
