A dual energy X-ray detector for conveyor belt with steel wire ropes is researched in the paper. Conveyor belt with steel
wire ropes is one of primary transfer equipments in modern production. The traditional test methods like electromagnetic
induction principle could not display inner image of steel wire ropes directly. So X-ray detection technology has used to
detect the conveyor belt. However the image was not so clear by the interference of the rubber belt. Therefore, the dualenergy
X-ray detection technology with subtraction method is developed to numerically remove the rubber belt from
radiograph, thus improving the definition of the ropes image. The purpose of this research is to design a dual energy Xray
detector that could make the operator easier to found the faulty of the belt. This detection system is composed of Xray
source, detector controlled by FPGA chip, PC for running image processing system and so on. With the result of the
simulating, this design really improved the capability of the staff to test the conveyor belt.
