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.
