Crowley Releases Three New Microform Digitization Scanners to Market

NEXT GENERATION OF CROWLEY MICROFORM SCANNERS OFFER COMPACT AND EASY SCANNING FOR PRODUCTION OR RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTS

Frederick, Md. – The Crowley Company (Crowley), a leading worldwide and award-winning provider of production scanners and commercial digitization services, announces the release of three new microform scanners: the C400 Advanced; MACH Mini Fiche; and the UScan+ Advanced. The new scanners include enhanced or new camera systems, as well as other features, that improve upon the evolution of the already impressive quality and usability of previous models.

“Necessity is the mother of invention,” states Matthew McCabe, vice president of sales and marketing. “After the COVID-19 pandemic, our customers desired higher workflow efficiency and more cost savings, while Crowley’s manufacturing arms sought to ensure the longevity of our products while facing supply chain issues. Crowley’s engineers took this challenge as an opportunity to spearhead key enhancements to our products that would offer customers even more efficiency and image quality while saving money in the long term. Thus, the next generation of patron and production Crowley microform scanners was born.”

The C400 Advanced evolves from the C400 scanner and offers an expanded automatic feed system that can scan batches of 300 cards unattended (double from the previous model) or can be manually fed for on-demand card capture. Ideal for those in manufacturing, engineering and nuclear fields, the C400 Advanced, utilizes a new camera system and improved lighting source to offer fast, high-resolution digitization of 35 mm images and Hollerith data from aperture cards.

The manual load solution uses the powerful Quantum software suite to digitize all formats of microfiche and aperture cards into high-quality digital images that can be edited using expansive post-capture options.
