VKX 6550 Dual Energy X-Ray Baggage Scanner
The VKX 6550 pairs a 656 x 501 mm tunnel with 34 mm of steel penetration and a full operator toolkit: high density alarm, explosive and drug auxiliary detection, Threat Image Projection and a luggage counter, plus system and X-ray emission timers. Radiation leakage is 0.1 microgray per hour measured 5 cm from the surface.
Key benefits
- 34 mm steel penetration through a 656 x 501 mm tunnel
- Explosive and drug auxiliary detection with high density alarm
- Threat Image Projection for operator training and assessment
- System running and X-ray emitting timers for maintenance planning
- Leakage 0.1 microgray/h at 5 cm from the surface
Problems it solves
- Operator performance cannot be measured without inserted test images
- Dense regions hide contents with no indication to the operator
- Tube life is unknown without an emission timer
- Explosives and drugs are hard to identify from a grey image
Who it is for
- Border control agents screening for contraband
- Operators required to evidence screener competence
- Maintenance teams planning tube replacement by running hours
Application scenarios
- Airport and border control baggage screening
- Security checkpoints needing explosive and drug indication
- Sites that must train and assess screening operators
- Facilities tracking X-ray tube hours for maintenance
Technical features
- Digital image processing algorithm
- Touch screen interface with ergonomic design
- 19 inch LED monitor with 64 times continuous zoom
- Film safety to ASA/ISO1600
- Sealed oil cooling at 100% duty cycle

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
- Threat Image Projection for operator training and assessment
- Film safety to the ASA/ISO1600 standard
Compared with other models in the range
The VKX8065 takes a larger 805 x 652 mm tunnel at 25 mm penetration with a low 308 mm belt. The VKX 6550 is the higher-penetration model at 34 mm in a standard tunnel, with the same operator toolset.
Use guide
- Confirm the 656 x 501 mm tunnel takes your typical bag
- Use high density alarm to flag regions the image cannot resolve
- Run Threat Image Projection sessions to assess operators
- Track the X-ray emitting timer for maintenance planning
- Verify local radiation compliance against the 0.1 microgray/h figure
