Abstract: A device for calibrating a conveyor belt comprising a housing with a remote controlled sensor assembly. The remote controller is secured to the housing for storage and shipping, the controller operating as a guard for the stored sensor assembly. When the remote controller is detached, the sensor assembly used to calibrate the conveyor belt is exposed. The housing is set adjacent a conveyor belt; the sensor assembly is set onto the conveyor belt that is to be measured. Jogging the conveyor belt at set intervals, the sensor assembly self-aligns while measuring the distance traversed and calculates the appropriate length correcting or speed that can be inputted to a conveyor belt control system.

Abstract: A device for calibrating a conveyor belt and measuring full belt length for predictive failure/maintenance of the belt. The device comprises a housing with a remote controller assembly. The remote controller is secured to the housing for storage and shipping. When the remote controller is detached, a sensor encoder assembly using wheels is deployed for use in the calibrate procedure. The housing is set adjacent a conveyor belt using a support having a polyaxial coupling wherein wheel encoder sensors are set onto the conveyor belt that is to be measured. Jogging the conveyor belt at set intervals, the encoder sensor assembly self-aligns while measuring the distance traversed and calculates the appropriate length correcting or speed that can be inputted to a conveyor belt control system. An attached reflective marking can be used in combination with an IR sensor to measure sizes to enhance the ability to predict failure/maintenance.
