7.3. Which type of equipment is well suited for BoB ASSISTANT?
BoB ASSISTANT measures the vibrations of a machine and analyses its evolution over time. Vibration
signature deviations are detected in real time and an alert is sent if the deviation exceeds a 25% threshold.
In addition, the projections predict the level of anomaly in the coming weeks/months.
Also, BoB ASSISTANT will work very well on equipment with one or several stationary vibration regimes
On the other hand, equipment in motion or exhibiting random or time-varying vibration regimes will not
be eligible for the BoB ASSISTANT offer:
7.4. What is the temperature limit?
The surface temperature of your equipment must not exceed 55°C.
7.5. When should BoB ASSISTANT be installed on the equipment?
BoB ASSISTANT performs a vibration signature training during the first 7 days after it is turned ON. During
this period, it is crucial that the vibration signature is as close as possible to normal/representative machine
operation. It is therefore strongly recommended to start BoB ASSISTANT on new equipment or most
commonly, shortly after a maintenance operation.
7.6. Can we start BoB ASSISTANT on a machine that is not running?
If your machine is stopped during installation, you can still position BoB ASSISTANT and start it. The
learning procedure will start when the equipment is back on. You must still make sure that the vibration is
sufficient at this position. In case of doubt, it is preferable to install BoB ASSISTANT on a machine in
operation.
