VKS-140S Handheld Backscatter X-Ray Imaging System
The Averguard VKS-140S is a handheld backscatter imaging system for teams that have to make a decision at the object, not back at a fixed scanner. A 140 kV / 10 W tube penetrates 4 mm or more of steel, images appear in real time on an 8-inch display, and the IP54 body with a 10.8 V / 6600 mAh battery runs 4 hours or more depending on operation mode. The whole unit is under 5 kg at 239 x 288 x 195 mm.
Key benefits
- Real-time imaging with stitching so adjacent passes read as one picture
- 140 kV / 10 W tube penetrating 4 mm or more of steel
- Under 5 kg and IP54 rated for field rather than bench use
- 4 hours or more per charge from a 10.8 V / 6600 mAh battery
- Linux system storing more than 10,000 scans
Problems it solves
- Suspicious items cannot be carried to a fixed tunnel scanner
- Transmission imaging needs both sides of the object to be accessible
- Mains power is unavailable at a roadside or remote inspection point
- Field conditions destroy equipment not rated for ingress protection
Who it is for
- EOD and counter-terrorism teams inspecting items that cannot be moved
- Customs and border units needing a portable imaging decision on site
- Security teams covering multiple locations with one imaging kit
Application scenarios
- Counter-terrorism inspection of suspicious packages in place
- Customs and border control of vehicles and freight
- Narcotics detection where organic material must be distinguished
- Detection of explosives, IEDs, liquids and organic materials in the field
Technical features
- Image stitching, photo capture, contrast enhancement and pseudo colour
- AI correction on captured images
- 8-inch display with Linux-based operation
- Scan speed 150 to 300 mm/s, maximum scan time 25 seconds
- IP54 rugged construction

Compared with other models in the range
Against the PB-140, the VKS-140S is the lighter, longer-running field unit: 4 mm steel penetration and 4 hours of battery against 8 mm and 8 hours, but an IP54 body and Linux platform storing more than 10,000 scans. Pick the PB-140 for penetration, the VKS-140S for endurance and ruggedness.
Use guide
- Charge the 6600 mAh battery before deployment and confirm the mode in use
- Hold the head against the surface, no rear access is needed
- Move at 150 to 300 mm/s and keep a pass under the 25 second maximum
- Use stitching to assemble passes across a panel or container wall
- Apply contrast enhancement and pseudo colour before calling a result
