Implementation of Magnetic Markers for the Diagnostics of Conveyor Belt Transportation Systems

Together with the research and development of belt conveyors, diagnostic methods for their reliable operation have been developed. Our is focused on a system method sensing magnetic markers implemented directly into conveyor belt, as in this way, it possible to determine velocity which can be source information about potential malfunction drive unit, control system, or itself. The also used mark particular segments significantly enhance maintenance procedures thanks identification damaged possibility stop area. However, problems occur implementation markers. To prevent from falling out, FEM (finite element method) simulations analyses commercially available different dimensions were performed analyze nominal friction force related average contact pressure acting holes drilled curved state when passing through drum.
