Description

WideTEK 36 – Wide Format CCD Scanner for documents up to 36 inch widths WT36-600-BDL

WideTEK 36 is a high-speed, production-ready 36 inch wide format CCD scanner designed for technical drawings, maps, posters, and archival documents. With upgraded electronics, a modern operator interface, and a true standalone Scan2Net platform, it supports shared scanning environments where users need to walk up, scan, and send files to the right destination in seconds.

Why Choose the WideTEK 36

• CCD image quality for technical detail: Tri-color CCD capture with bright white LED illumination delivers sharp lines, smooth gradients, and excellent color fidelity for CAD drawings and graphic documents.
• Fast performance with upgraded hardware: Intel Core Gen 9 processing and a fast SSD help accelerate internal processing and overall responsiveness.
• Standalone Scan2Net system: The integrated 64-bit Linux PC supports scanning to network folders, FTP, email, USB drives, and direct print, without requiring an external computer.
• Shared-device convenience: Integrated walk-up scanning software enables quick scan-to-destination actions from the touchscreen, ideal for multi-user departments.
• Mobile control with Scan2Pad: Adjust color mode, brightness, contrast, and create PDFs directly from a tablet or smartphone on your network.
• Gentle handling for fragile originals: Specialized transport rollers and a non-touch background drum help protect historical or delicate documents during capture.

Simply walk up, scan and store or send the image, all through the use of the touchscreen.

Scan2Pad lets you control the WideTEK 36 wide format scanner using an iPad or an Android tablet or even a smartphone running Android version 4.0.3 or higher. Quickly adjust the color depth, go from black & white to grayscale or full color and adjust brightness and contrast on your pad. Create PDF documents from your scans in a single step. Scan2PAD is the unique mobile scanning application that doesn’t require you to use an external cloud server. Simply scan your documents and take them away on your pad. It is fast, secure and best of all, free of charge.

WideTEK 36 gently scans due to special transport rollers that serve as pressure points ensuring safe document transport. For historical and fragile documents, this is critical.
