Abstract
Provided is a conveyor belt monitoring system that determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the conveyor belt by successively detecting elongation of a running conveyor belt using an elongation detection mechanism, by successively detecting tension acting on a core layer forming the conveyor belt using a tension detection mechanism, and, on the basis of data obtained therefrom, monitoring the presence/absence of the abnormality in the conveyor belt using a control unit.
