The invention relates to a device for monitoring a tubular belt conveyor system, comprising the following: a conveyor belt consisting of an elastomeric material, especially with embedded tie rods, the conveyor belt being closed to form a tubular belt by overlapping its longitudinal edges so as to form an overlap area; other system parts, i.e., a driving drum, a tail pulley, support rollers, guide rollers, supporting structures and optionally, other parts. The inventive device is characterized in that the device for monitoring the overlap area of the tubular belt is provided with an optoelectronic system. In the event of a deviation from the desired conveyor belt overlap, the optoelectronic system initiates a correction of position by means of the guiding rollers. If the corrective measures are not taken within a certain period, the tubular belt conveyor system is automatically disconnected. |
