Image Access WideTEK 48 Wide Format Scanner

WideTEK 48 – Wide Format CCD Scanner for documents up to 48 inch widths WT48-600-BDL

WideTEK 48 scanners are engineered for production environments that require exceptional image quality, speed, and reliability. Featuring a complete electronics redesign and advanced CCD camera technology, this 48 inch wide format scanner delivers outstanding color accuracy and long-term durability with no consumables.

Designed and manufactured in Germany, the WideTEK 48 combines high scanning speeds, intelligent image processing, and gentle document handling in a compact, quiet system suitable for continuous operation.

Why Choose the WideTEK 48

The WideTEK 48 sets the benchmark for 48 inch CCD scanning by combining ultra-sharp image capture with fast throughput and a true standalone architecture. With a life expectancy exceeding one million scans, it offers one of the strongest price-to-performance ratios in the wide format scanner market.

High-Speed CCD Image Capture

Using four tri-color CCD cameras and bright white LED illumination, the WideTEK 48 produces extremely sharp images with excellent color fidelity.

Scanning speeds reach up to 11.2 inches per second at 200 dpi, while maintaining 7.5 inches per second at 300 dpi and 3 inches per second at 600 dpi across the full 48 inch scan width. Speeds remain consistent for color, black and white, and grayscale scanning.

True Standalone Operation with Scan2Net

An integrated 64-bit Linux PC powered by an Intel Core processor allows the WideTEK 48 to operate without an external computer. Documents can be scanned directly to network locations, FTP servers, USB drives, or printers.

Real-time rotation, automatic crop and deskew, preview, and file creation are handled internally, eliminating rescans and reducing overall processing time.

Gentle Handling for Fragile Originals

Specialized transport rollers apply minimal pressure, protecting fragile, historical, or valuable documents. Automatic document size recognition allows flexible feeding without precise alignment, while interchangeable background drums enhance contrast for difficult originals.

Dust-protected and fully encapsulated CCD camera modules ensure consistent performance and long-term reliability.
