Alos Planetary Camera 41

Other features include automatic aperture size selection (single frame or double frame), frame indexing, single corner positioning, and auto exposure control – individual functions that work together to improve productivity and image quality.

Automatic Reduction and Focus
The ALOS Planetary Camera 41 automatically determines the size of the document and  selects both the correct reduction ratio and the proper focus, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

The camera head can be easily replaced in seconds, allowing different departments to use their own camera heads for specific filming purposes.

A self-diagnosis system with red LEDs warns you when film is about to run out or when the camera head isn’t locked to the main body.

Full Upright Images
In addition to automatically sensing the height of the document to determine the correct reduction ratio, the ALOS Planetary Camera 41 also senses the document width to determine the correct aperture size.  Documents up to legal size (8 ½” x 14”) are filmed in single frames while larger documents are filmed in double wide-width frames.  But no matter what frame width is used, the filmed images are upright for easy viewing.

Auto Exposure Control
Advanced electronics technology provides completely automatic exposure adjustment for sharp, clear images every time.  Manual adjustment of the exposure time is also possible for special filming needs.

Think of the ALOS Planetary Camera 41 when you need dependable, fast, simple, more versatile microfilming.

Features

Frame Indexing (Numbers and Blip Marks)
For faster, easier identification and indexing, frame numbers and/or blip marks can be selected and recorded on the film.  Three levels of blip marks – Item, Batch and Block, --are available.  All are encoded inside the camera head to ensure consistent readability, as well as, more accurate document exposures.

In addition, the operator can manually input up to three 4-digit numbers or a single 12-digit number to more precisely identify each frame with time, date or other vital information.  These numbers appear along the top of the frame.

RS-232C Interface
Connect a PC or minicomputer to the built-in RS-232C Interface, and the ALOS Planetary Camera 41 becomes a data entry camera for CAR (Computer Assisted Retrieval) systems, permitting full control of all camera operations from the computer.

Zero-Space Filming
The gap between frames can be eliminated, permitting more documents to be filmed per roll and minimizing the flicker effect seen when viewing moving film.

High-Quality Images
The lenses produce high-resolution images from a wide range of originals, from single sheets of paper to books up to 2cm in thickness, at all focal distances.  A fluorescent lamp system provides uniform illumination, ensuring consistent exposures, roll after roll of film.

Single Corner Positioning
The ALOS 41 greatly simplifies document filming by requiring only a single corner of a document be positioned correctly.

CFF 
A high-speed continuous forms feeder for the ALOS Planetary Camera 41, the ALOS CFF- Continuous Form Feeder accepts a variety of computer and other pin-fed forms.

High-Speed Form Transport
Fast, efficient and accurate, the ALOS CFF can transport up to sixty standard computer forms (11” x 14”) per minute- one form every second. Up to 500 sheets can be fed in a single run, significantly improving microfilming productivity. A “High/Low” switch at the rear of the right-side unit provides quick and easy speed selection.

Adjustable Length Control
The ALOS CFF also offers an adjustable form-length control for optimum feeding of various sizes of forms. Easy to use controls at the front of the right-side unit permit adjustment between 5-1/2” and 14” in ½” increments to match the length of the form to be filmed. The length default setting is 11”.

Easy Setup, Smooth Operation
The ALOS CFF- Continuous Form Feeder sets up quickly, with the right-side and left-side units attaching easily to the sides of the ALOS Planetary Camera 41. Operation is smooth and quiet – tractor feed clips hold the forms securely. Pull the CFF up over the Planetary Camera 41 table, where it is held flat for optimum focus and recorded automatically by the ALOS Planetary Camera 41. After being filmed, the form is pulled down the opposite side and neatly refolded.

Overlay Function
Portions of a form can be masked with the Overlay Bar, preventing the information from being recorded by the ALOS Planetary Camera 41. The sliding Overlay Bar is easy to set up and adjust. Simply place the bar over that part of the form you wish to conceal and start filming.
