Design Modification of Test Device for Analyzing of Conveyor Belt Samples

Abstract:

Material testing and its analysis is nowadays a very extensive problem. Different types of materials with different sizes are tested and analyzed. By the Technical University of Košice was designed the test device for analysis of cover layers samples for conveyor belts designed for bulk materials conveying for middle and long distances in various direction with the diameters from 100 mm to 300 mm. Measurement of samples helps for the better understanding and determination of cover layers properties and it allows by measured values the next computing simulations. This paper deals with constructive modifications of the designed test device which are described in detail in this paper. For creation of the model of the test device was used SW application PTC Creo 2.0.
