They represent an optimum solution in order to compensate document bindings without destroying them during the digitization process. Three book cradle versions are available, depending on the thickness of the wished documents to be digitized.

The advantages of such options guarantee an optimal quality of digitization while respecting document standards preservation. They allow the operator to:

  • adjust the book cradle plates depending on the thickness of the document regardless of its dimensions after what the plates will compensate the left and right parts of the book.
  • place the whole document so that the distance camera / height of the document remains the best possible in order to have a sharp and detailed resolution. (depth of field).
  • Partially open the document (for instance at 120°) when the fragility of the binding does not permit a maximum, flat opening at 180°.

For further flexibility, the operator can lock the balancing system in any position. Moreover, the i2S' book cradles do not integrate any hydraulic system, therefore no liquid leaking spreads out and no damage on the documents can occur.

BOOK CRADLE 12 / 90° - a mobile book cradle devoted to A0 scanner

The Book Cradle 12/90° is a book holder derived from the well-known Book Cradle 12 cm thickness which is already available with our range of book scanners.


The use of the Book Cradle 12/90° is dedicated to the A0 scanner and allows the digitisation of bright documents including strong curvatures. It maintains the work with a 90-degree angle from the moving camera arm.
We can note that the Book Cradle 12/90° option can hold the book in the standard position too (0 degree angle). More compact,  the Book Cradle 12/90° is a mobile wheeled accessory. A glass option can also be adapted upon it.
Thanks to the very broad digitisation field of the A0 scanner, the Book Cradle 12/90° allows the digitisation of 2xA2 format documents whatever the orientation is (0 or 90°).

What are the benefits for a 90° angle orientation?


In spite of a lighting particularly dedicated to bright documents, reflection phenomena cannot always be eliminated in the curve area. Despite the razing incidence of the illumination, the curve always presents a favorable zone of reflecting rays going to the camera. By positioning the work with a 90° angle, the cruve of the book is perpendicular to the camera line of digitalization, thus preventing rfom the creation of stray reflections.
Also thanks to the 90° angle orientation, there is no longer image deformation due to the curve.
Other benefit: the document scanning is faster since it is carried out on the smallest dimension of the document.

Images 1and 2 illustrate the new option 500mm / 40kg book cradle.
Its platens are remoted by a very easy-to-use switchboard situated on the right hand of the operator.

The book cradle system adjusts the height of the plates depending on the required resolution. This resolution is kept during the whole digitization whatever the documents width thanks to an automatic laser positionning system.

Otherwise, you can drive the vertical position of each plate individually.
In the horizontal axis position of plates are manually set-up depending on the size of the document. A cunning mechanical device holds the position of both plates according to the weight of the work.
