Abstract:
A conveyor belt ( 8 ) and method for monitoring a moving conveyor belt ( 8 ), the conveyor belt ( 8 ) having a first edge region ( 2 ), a second edge region ( 4 ), and a load carrying region ( 6 ). The method functions to detect belt edge damage, changes in belt width, and changes in belt tracking by monitoring a magnetic field associated with a plurality of edge detection inserts ( 1,3 ) embedded within the conveyor belt ( 8 ). In one embodiment this is achieved by monitoring images of the magnetic field associated with the edge detection inserts ( 1,3 ) embedded within the conveyor belt ( 8 ). The method may utilize a magnetic sensor system to detect magnetic images of the edge detection inserts ( 1,3 ) where the edge detection inserts ( 1,3 ) are positioned longitudinally along the length of the conveyor belt ( 8 ) in the first edge region ( 2 ) and the second edge region ( 4 ) of the conveyor belt ( 8 ).

Claim (Index 18):
The method for monitoring a moving conveyor belt as specified in  claim 17 , wherein the first edge region and the second edge region of the conveyor belt do not extend across more than 30% of the total width of the conveyor belt.
