This automatic book scanner, called the ScanRobot, “is able to scan 25 pages per minute by scanning and turning two pages at once.” Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
Pages stick to the center wedge, get scanned as the wedge moves up, and then are gently blown aside with a jet of air. The simplicity makes it reliable and cost effective, and it�s designed for industrial strength book scanning projects.
