Abstract
A misaligned conveyor belt detection assembly is provided to determine when a conveyor has become misaligned. Specifically, a conveyor belt is placed in contact with a contact apparatus that produces indications, such as heat and/or vibration that, when measured, are compared to corresponding threshold values to determine whether the conveyor belt has become misaligned. The assembly can then display a misalignment indication to a user stationed remotely from the conveyor.
