System and method for monitoring modular conveyor belts
A system and method arranged for monitoring modular conveyor belts. The modular conveyer belt comprises a plurality of modules made from a plastic material and linked together to form a continuous path operated by a gear which in turn comprises a shaft. The system further comprises at least two sensors in such a way that a first sensor is configured for detecting the passage of reference element in the drive shaft, and at least a second sensor which is configured for detecting the passage of two consecutive reference elements inserted in the longitudinal edges of the modules.
