Contex HD Ultra X 6050
Overview
The Contex HD Ultra X 6050 is an ultra-wide CCD scanner built for demanding professional environments where size, speed, and quality all matter. With a 60-inch scanning width, it enables you to digitize oversized documents—maps, architectural plans, banners, and more—in a single pass, offering both efficiency and top-tier results.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ultra-Wide Scanning
Enables full-width scanning up to 60 inches, eliminating the need to split and stitch large originals. -
High Throughput
Delivers strong performance in both color and monochrome workflows. In color mode at 200 dpi, it typically achieves speeds around 8.9 inches per second.
In monochrome or grayscale, it can reach up to 17.8 ips. -
Superior Image Quality
Uses CCD imaging with 48-bit color capture and high-grade optical systems to preserve fine detail, color integrity, and consistent output across the scan width. -
Versatile Media Handling
Accepts documents up to ~0.6 inches (15 mm) thick, allowing for rigid, mounted, and composite originals.
Features like Optimized Thickness Adjustment Control (OTAC) and adaptive feed mechanisms help protect original materials while ensuring scan stability. -
Smart Workflow & Automation
-
True Size Detection: automatically senses document width to speed up setup
-
Multi-speed levels: you can adjust scanning speed from the interface
-
Push / Pull scanning over network: multiple users can share and operate the scanner
-
Integrated scanning intelligence ensures consistent results, even across large originals
-
-
Efficiency & Durability
Designed with LED illumination (no lamp replacement) and scratch-resistant glass to reduce maintenance needs.
Energy-efficient components and a robust build help minimize long-term operating cost.
Use Cases & Ideal Users
-
Large-format reprographic and print service operations
-
GIS, mapping, and surveying organizations digitizing oversized maps
-
Engineering and infrastructure firms scanning giant plans or site drawings
-
Museums, libraries, and archives preserving large originals
-
Workflow environments combining scanning with print, inspection, or archival tasks
