Device for destruction-free inspection of a conveyor belt

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.
