Conveyor Belt

Tension & Tracking

The conveyor belt tension and tracking must be properly adjusted to ensure that the workpiece correctly and safely passes underneath the sand- ing drum and that the conveyor belt does not become damaged during operation.

If the conveyor belt slips on the rollers then the belt tension needs to be increased.

If the conveyor belt moves to one side or the other when it is running, then the belt tracking needs to be adjusted.

2.Make sure the conveyor belt is centered on the rollers.

—If it is not, release the belt tension equally on both sides of the belt. This is done by holding the hex nut still (see Figure 30) while rotating the Phillips head screw coun- terclockwise until you can move the belt from side-to-side with your hand. Then, center the belt on the rollers.

Belt Tracking

1.Run the conveyor belt at high speed and note if it tracks to one side or the other—this make take a couple of minutes to show up.

Note: To avoid damaging the belt, do not allow the belt to track off the rollers.

—If the conveyor belt does not track to one side or the other, no further adjustments are necessary.

Note: In the next step, you may have to wait for several minutes to notice a change in tracking.

2.Rotate the tensioner screw clockwise on the side the belt is tracking toward until the belt moves to the center of the rollers, then back off the screw until it stops tracking to the opposite side.

3.Allow the belt to run for several minutes to make sure it is tracking properly. If neces- sary, repeat this procedure until the belt is properly tracking.
