Title: Conveyor Belt Scanning – Identifying faults

2Understanding C.A.T belt scanning The condition
of the steel cord is primary for the safety of
the long term operation of the belt. The scanning
equipment uses state of the art equipment and
software for the operator to access the
condition of the belt in terms of splices and
carcass. The belt data provides graphical
image of the cord damage and the image reflects
the extent of the cord damage, showing the
precise lateral and longitudinal location.
3Conveyor belt scanning services utilizes CAT
system which has been commercially made
available. Data is obtained from the scans to
demonstrate the capabilities of the system.
It represents the user friendly nature of the
data. Steel cord belt scanning is known as
Conveyor Belt Monitor. In this system the steel
cords run the belt through magnetic
field.
4The Steel Cord scanning system came into
existence for the last 10 years and it uses the
eddy-current and magnetic technologies. Over the
years the technologies have changed and the
systems present the data in a manner similar to
the CBM system like a series of lineson the
chart paper. The data is calibrated and
interpreted by well trained
technicians to be of value to the SC belt
operator.
5The data presented by the conveyor belt scanning
system is user friendly and the client is able to
visualize the data in a graphical manner. The
Conveyor Belt Technology (CBT) allows data
to be presented in the Conveyor Trace format. The
trace is a representation of the fall width of
the belt and it depicts the right and left edges
of the belt.
6Cord damage or discontinuity or corrosion is
represented by coloured graphical image on the
trace, accurately representing the lateral and
longitudinal direction, along with the
magnitude of the cord fault directly
corresponding to the size and image of the trace.
The graphical image of the splice is produced,
displaying the location of the cord end in the
splice.
