CRUSE Scanner: High-End Digitization for Art and Cultural Heritage

Zurück zur Übersicht

The CRUSE scanner is a high-precision, non-contact digitization system for works of art and cultural artifacts, such as paintings, drawings, and large-format flat objects.

It can scan a single image measuring 150 × 250 cm at resolutions ranging from 150 to 1,600 dpi. Larger documents can be seamlessly stitched together after multiple scans and processed for reproduction or facsimile.

Using UV-free LED lighting, we produce color-accurate TIFF files for archiving, scientific documentation, and fine art reproduction. Our CRUSE scanner digitizes with precision and without compromise—whether the original is smooth, textured, or behind glass. Particularly delicate originals, such as works of art, archival materials, or historical documents, remain fully protected throughout the process.

Gentle lighting & maximum detail

State-of-the-art LED lighting with high color rendering (and no UV component), combined with individually adjustable light positions, renders surfaces with a three-dimensional appearance and the finest details. The scan is performed line by line, at a precise 90° angle and with uniform illumination—ensuring a completely distortion-free, highly detailed result across the entire surface.

For large formats and flexible requirements

With a maximum scanning area of 150 × 250 cm, the CRUSE scanner is ideal for large documents. Even larger flat objects can be scanned in sections and seamlessly digitally assembled. The image resolution can be adjusted between 150 and 1,600 dpi—tailored to your specific needs. For smaller objects, we use our more compact DOM.

Ideal even for challenging projects

Whether slightly wavy, curved, or behind glass—the optional vacuum table ensures secure holding and consistent results without compromising quality.
