FIELD: testing equipment.
SUBSTANCE: conveyor system that includes an asterisk, a conveyor element, a sensor, a tension system and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is capable of receiving an output signal containing the specified registered image data from an optical sensor, generating a virtual calculated trajectory of the conveyor element based on image processing of the recorded image data, determining the value for the bending deflection by measuring the bending deflection from the virtual calculated trajectory of the conveyor element and controlling the tension system based on the value for the bending deflection.
EFFECT: insufficient tension or excessive tension of the conveyor is prevented.
