    Hello, I have just found out about a new system for setting nip on rollers . Its called DIGINIP. You just roll in the strips and it digitally measures them. Does anyone have experience using this product? Pros, Cons...etc. We have been quoted for around $2500CAN for the system.

    Thanks
    Glenn

    Pros:
    1) Convenient

    Cons:
    1) $2500
    2) Are you usually setting a lot of rollers? Installing a new roller train typically takes about 4 hours per unit and other than that, some periodic checks. It's not that difficult or time consuming to check roller stripes the traditional way, so how much time could this actually save?
    3) How many roller nips would you have to set (time savings over the traditional way) to recoup your $2500 investment?
