Conveyor belts often are subjected to exceptionally high stresses. Apart from countless bends in both longitudinal and transverse directions, the belts suffer from permanent material loading impact, from lack of maintenance, from worn, failing or wrongly adjusted conveyor parts and from foreign objects. A failure or massive damage of the conveyor belt often has dramatic consequences. Monitoring systems based on X-ray technology are well on the way to revolutionising the safety and the operating efficiency of conveyor belts. This article describes such a system, the CBGuard scanner from CBG.
