VKX 6040 X-Ray Security Screening Machine
The VKX 6040 publishes both typical and guaranteed figures, which is the honest way to quote a scanner: 38 mm steel penetration typical against 34 mm guaranteed, AWG40 wire resolution typical against AWG38 guaranteed. It takes 150 kg on the conveyor through a 615 x 418 mm tunnel at 0.22 m/s, drawing at most 0.8 kVA.
Key benefits
- Typical and guaranteed figures published separately for penetration and resolution
- 150 kg conveyor load, higher than most scanners in this tunnel class
- 0.22 m/s conveyor speed through a 615 x 418 mm tunnel
- Maximum 0.8 kVA power consumption
- Film safety guaranteed to ASA/ISO1600
Problems it solves
- Typical-only figures cannot be held to in a contract
- 100 kg conveyor limits reject heavier parcels
- High power draw is impractical on a limited supply
- Photographic film is damaged by unsuitable dose levels
Who it is for
- Buyers comparing scanners on guaranteed minimum performance
- Operators screening heavier parcels
- Facilities with constrained power supply
Application scenarios
- Security screening of bags and parcels
- Positions handling heavier items up to 150 kg
- Tenders that require guaranteed rather than typical figures
- Sites with limited electrical capacity
Technical features
- Dual figures for penetration, resolution, dose and leakage
- Signal-to-noise ratio under 60 dB
- Conveyor rated to 150 kg

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
- Performance published as both typical and guaranteed values
- Film safety guaranteed to ASA/ISO1600
Compared with other models in the range
The VKJ-6040 in the same tunnel class reaches 43 mm at 160 kV but is quoted on typical figures. The VKX 6040 publishes guaranteed minimums alongside typical ones, which matters when the specification has to be contractual.
Use guide
- Quote the guaranteed figures, not the typical ones, in a contractual specification
- Confirm the 615 x 418 mm tunnel and 150 kg load suit your items
- Set the 680 mm conveyor height against your feed and take-off tables
- Verify the installation against the guaranteed 1.5 microgray/h boundary leakage
- Check power capacity for a maximum 0.8 kVA draw

What to Check When Buying an X-Ray Baggage Scanner
Tunnel size, penetration, resolution, dose and duty cycle are the five figures that decide whether a scanner suits your lane.
How to Read an X-Ray Scanner Specification Sheet
AWG, penetration resolution, typical versus guaranteed, and measurement distance. The four places specification sheets hide the real answer.
VKX 6040 X-Ray Security Screening Machine FAQ
What is the difference between typical and guaranteed figures
Typical is what the machine normally achieves; guaranteed is the minimum it is warranted to meet. For a contract, use the guaranteed values: 34 mm penetration and AWG38 resolution.
What load will the conveyor take
150 kg.
What is the tunnel size
615 x 418 mm, at a 680 mm conveyor height.
How much power does it draw
A maximum of 0.8 kVA.
What is the boundary leakage
1.0 microgray/h typical and 1.5 microgray/h guaranteed.
How heavy is the unit
455 kg, at 2648 x 844 x 1234 mm.
Is film safe through it
Yes, guaranteed to ASA/ISO1600.
