This paper describes a mobile system for the noninvasive diagnosis of the core of conveyor belts with steel cords. The system is based on the 4-channel magnetic head of the EyeQ system which one of the Polish opencast mines bought at the beginning of the 21st century. Because of the restructuring of the mine and the aging of the EyeQ system, measures were taken to improve the latter’s resolution and performance. The upgrading consisted mainly in developing a new software for data analysis automation and in replacing the old hardware platform with a new one increasing six-fold system resulution. The system has successfully passed tests in mine conditions and is currently used to assess the condition of belts working in the mine transport system (fig. 1).
