Abstract
Provided is a conveyor belt wear monitoring system including a non-contact sensor arranged facing a surface of an upper cover rubber. A distance to the surface of the upper cover rubber is detected using the non-contact sensor in a predetermined range in a belt width direction of the upper cover rubber of the traveling conveyor belt. An amount of wear of the upper cover rubber is obtained by comparing the detection data with pre-stored reference data.
