VBXC-9000 Handheld Backscatter X-Ray Scanner

The VBXC-9000 images from one side, so objects against a wall, inside furniture, in a car door or in a tyre can be inspected at all. It discerns a 0.32 mm metal wire, reports a signal-to-noise ratio over 100 times higher than comparable foreign products, and is operated by one person from an integrated 8-inch tablet with dual laser positioning. The device weighs 5.8 kg without battery.

VBXC-9000 handheld backscatter X-ray scanner with tablet

Key benefits

  • Single-sided imaging reaches objects against walls, in doors and in tyres
  • Discerns a 0.32 mm metal wire with superior noise control
  • Signal-to-noise ratio over 100 times higher than comparable foreign products
  • Single-person operation with a detachable 8-inch tablet
  • 160 mm field of view at 5 cm, expanding with distance

Problems it solves

  • Conventional X-ray needs a source and detector on both sides of the object
  • Objects against a wall or in the air cannot be imaged conventionally
  • Transmission imaging is insensitive to low-density explosives and drugs
  • Two-person operation is impractical at a live scene

Who it is for

  • EOD teams working on objects that cannot be moved
  • Vehicle inspection units checking doors, panels and tyres
  • Teams whose main concern is organic material rather than metal

Application scenarios

  • Explosive ordnance disposal operations
  • Inspecting objects positioned near walls or suspended in air
  • Vehicle inspection of doors and tyres
  • Screening for low-density organic materials such as explosives and drugs

Technical features

  • Backscatter imaging using low-energy X-rays with a scattered-radiation detector
  • Dual laser positioning for quick scan placement
  • Integrated control components with a detachable 8-inch tablet computer
  • Real-time scan images viewable from any direction with no blind spots
  • Developed in-house with relevant invention patents

Figures are those published by the factory for this model. Where a value is shown as TBC it is not published, and we will confirm it with the factory before you order rather than estimate it.

Quality control

  • Independently developed with relevant invention patents held by the manufacturer
  • Image quality stated to meet international standards

Compared with other models in the range

The PB-140 reaches 8 mm of steel and the VKS-140S 4 mm, both single-sided. The VBXC-9000 is specified around image quality instead: 0.32 mm wire discrimination and a signal-to-noise claim over 100 times comparable products, in a 5.8 kg body.

Use guide

  • Use dual laser positioning to place the scan area quickly
  • Scan at up to 300 mm/second and watch the image build in real time
  • Work at around 5 cm for a 160 mm field, moving back to widen it
  • Detach the tablet so one operator can scan and view at once
  • Plan for roughly 4 hours of operating time per deployment

VBXC-9000 Handheld Backscatter X-Ray Scanner FAQ

Does it need access to both sides of the object

No. Single-sided backscatter imaging is the reason to use it, including on objects near walls or suspended in air.

How fine a wire can it see

0.32 mm.

Can one person operate it

Yes, it is designed for single-person operation with a detachable 8-inch tablet for real-time viewing.

How heavy is it

5.8 kg excluding the battery, at 212 x 300 x 143 mm excluding the handle.

Is it good at finding explosives and drugs

Backscatter is inherently sensitive to organic materials, allowing clear differentiation between organic and inorganic substances.

How long does it run

Approximately 4 hours.

How wide an area does one pass cover

160 mm at a 5 cm distance, expanding as the distance increases.
