Automatic self aligning and self sustaining belt tracking system for belted conveyors

A conveyor belt adjustment system comprising:

• an adjustable roller configured to be in moveable contact with a conveyor belt;
• a roller adjuster configured to selectively adjust the position of said adjustable roller;
• a first belt tracking actuator and a second belt tracking actuator disposed at opposing sides of the conveyor belt;
• wherein said first belt tracking actuator is configured to be actuated by the conveyor belt when in a first misaligned condition tracking to one side, said first belt tracking actuator in turn actuating said roller adjuster in a first direction to adjust the tracking of the conveyor belt into an aligned condition;
• and
• wherein said second belt tracking actuator is configured to be actuated by the conveyor belt when in a second misaligned condition tracking to the opposite side, said second belt tracking actuator in turn actuating said roller adjuster in a second direction to adjust the tracking of the conveyor belt into the aligned condition.

A conveyor belt adjustment system comprising:

• a conveyor belt of a conveyor system;
• a belt position sensor disposed proximate the conveyor belt;
• an adjustable roller configured to be in moveable contact with the conveyor belt;
• a roller adjuster configured to selectively adjust the position of said adjustable roller;
• an electric motor in electronic communication with said belt position sensor and coupled to said roller adjuster;
• wherein said electric motor is configured to urge said roller adjuster when the conveyor belt is detected by said belt position sensor, said conveyor belt detected by said belt position sensor when said belt is in a misaligned condition;
• and
• wherein movement of said roller adjuster pivots said adjustable roller to adjust a tension of the conveyor belt at said adjustable roller to thereby adjust the tracking of the conveyor belt into an aligned condition.
