The ACS 4600 Aperture Card Scanners are monochrome scanners for microfilm mounted on aperture cards.
They are cost effective solutions for fast, high volume scanning and workstation engineering. The Aperture
Card Scanners support automatic scanning features such as a built-in automatic card feeder and a separate
bin for sorting out and collecting rejected cards.
There is a multitude of microfilms in the world but with the technological progress, digital filing has become a
cheaper and thus attractive alternative to microfilm filing. Also, digital filing is more flexible and requires less
space than filing on microfilm. Many businesses have therefore launched projects to convert microfilms into
digital data, by scanning aperture cards with digitizers from Contex.
The ACS scanners are designed for fast and reliable throughput. The automatic card feeding mechanism
draws each card from the loading bin, interprets its Hollerith code, stages it for scanning, and then ejects it to
the output bin at high speeds while caring for even old and fragile aperture cards. With the card staged in the
scanner, the ACS 4600 will scan a typical D-size/A1 CAD drawing at 200 dpi in only 7 seconds on the PLUS
model and in only 20 seconds on the BASE model. Total throughput time for a batch of these cards is 180
cards/hour on the ACS 4600 PLUS model.
