The Crowley C400 Advanced Aperture Card Scanner builds on nearly two decades of proven performance from the C-Series range, delivering accurate, high-volume conversion of aperture cards for demanding environments such as manufacturing, engineering and nuclear industries. Designed for organisations that rely on precise archival digitisation, it combines speed, reliability and advanced imaging technology in a compact and efficient system.
At the heart of the C400 Advanced is a newly engineered camera system paired with enhanced lighting, enabling fast, high-resolution capture of 35 mm aperture cards and associated Hollerith data. This results in consistently sharp, clear images suitable for both archival storage and active engineering workflows.
Productivity is significantly improved through its large capacity 300-card input hopper, allowing extended unattended scanning runs and reducing the need for frequent operator intervention. Combined with on-demand and batch scanning modes, the system provides flexible operation to suit a wide range of production requirements.
The C400 Advanced also delivers intelligent automation features that streamline document handling and reduce manual processing. Hollerith data reading is supported as standard, enabling automatic recognition of punch data to assist with drawing sizes and file naming. Dual image output allows users to generate both bitonal and grayscale images from a single scan, improving efficiency while maintaining output flexibility.

Image quality is further enhanced through Auto White Balance technology, ensuring optimal contrast and clarity across every scan. This is complemented by advanced software tools that allow users to resize, enhance and adjust images without the need to rescan, saving both time and resources.
Designed with operational efficiency in mind, the C400 Advanced features a streamlined user interface that minimises training requirements and supports fast, straightforward workflows. High-speed USB connectivity reduces setup time and enables smooth integration into existing systems.
Maintenance has also been improved through an updated internal design that enhances serviceability, helping to reduce downtime and keep operations running smoothly. Despite its advanced capabilities, the system remains an affordable solution, delivering professional-grade imaging at a cost-effective price point.
Additional functionality includes a Scan-To-Print option with Demand Microfilm Printer (DMP) mode, allowing seamless scanning and printing with simple controls for efficient output.
The Crowley C400 Advanced is a powerful, versatile solution for organisations requiring reliable aperture card digitisation with high throughput, excellent image quality and modern workflow integration.
