Patent ID: 8149989

Claim:
An assembly comprising: (a) a moving conveyor belt made of elastomeric material and having a belt surface, a carrying side for goods to be conveyed, a running side, and an embedded strength support; (b) a device for non-destructive inspection of the conveyor belt, said device comprising a radiation source and a process computer; and (c) a defect marking system corresponding with the radiation source; said radiation source emitting rays toward the belt surface to perform an irradiation test having a result, said rays being sufficiently energetic to pass through the conveyor belt; and the process computer evaluating the result of the irradiation test; wherein the process computer is coupled with the following device parts: the radiation source, by way of a radiation control device; a line sensor with image processor; the defect marking system, by way of a defect marking system control device; a first scanning unit and a second scanning unit, and an encoder; wherein the entire conveyor belt is divided into finite segments, whereby each segment is provided with a distinct address, so that segment marking occurs, whereby detection of the address of the segment marking, in each instance, takes place without contact, using the first scanning unit; and that the finite segments are delimited by a start marking, in each instance, whereby the detection of the start marking, in each instance, also takes place without contact, using the second scanning unit.
