High-Speed Automatic Microfilm Recorder
The ALOS ADF Planetary Camera 42 provides fully automated
microfilming of single-sided and double-sided documents with
intelligent functions for greater productivity and higher quality
images. High volume
applications require intelligent automation and individual functions
that work together to improve overall microfilming productivity and
image quality.
With the ALOS ADF Planetary Camera
42, the automatic document feeder teams up with a double-sided
document function to permit fast, efficient filming of both single
and double-sided documents.
It all adds up to increased
productivity with faster, easier, more accurate filming, and higher
image quality. Day
after day, roll after roll, job after job.
Automatic
Document Feeding (ADF)
The ALOS ADF 42 provides two automatic document feeding modes.
In the ADF mode, up to 500 single-sheet documents are
automatically fed to the unit and filmed at 45 sheets per minute.
In the SADF (Semi-Automatic
Document Feeding) mode, the document is automatically fed to the
unit and the operator activates the filming process manually,
permitting special settings and adjustments for individual documents
or special indexing or imprinting requirements.
The DF (Document Feeding) mode
permits automatic feeding of individually handled documents.
Double-Sided Document Handling
The ALOS ADF 42 also handles double-sided documents with equal
ease. Simply select the
double-sided mode, and the ALOS ADF 42 films the first side, turns
the document over, films the second side, ejects it and brings up
the next document, all automatically!
In the SADF mode, the operator can choose to film either or
both sides of each document. If
both single-sided and double-sided are mixed together, simply insert
special target cards before each type of document.
The ADF Planetary Camera 42 will read each target card
and automatically switch to the appropriate filming mode.
These target cards can also be used to control many other
ALOS ADF 42 functions.
Automatic Reduction and Focus
The ALOS ADF Planetary Camera 42 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 LEDs
lets you know when film is about to run out or when the camera head
isnt locked the main body. LEDs
also indicate the locations of paper jams, as well as, whether or
not the jammed document has been filmed.
Features
Full Upright Images
In addition to automatically sensing the height of the document to
determine the correct reduction ratio, the ALOS ADF Planetary Camera
42 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.
RS-232C Interface
Connect a PC or mini computer to the built-in RS 232C Interface,
and the ALOS ADF 42 becomes a data entry camera for CAR (Computer
Assisted Retrieval) systems, permitting full control of all camera
operations through the computer.
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.
Frame
Indexing (Numbers and Blip Marks)
For faster, easier identification and indexing, frame numbers
and blip marks can be selected and recorded on 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, an 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.
Printing Capabilities
Add the optional Imprinter and the ALOS ADF 42 will print the frame
number on the original document after it is filmed to ensure
accurate correlation of filmed images and data entered from the
documents.
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. A
fluorescent lamp system provides uniform illumination, ensuring
consistent exposures every time.
