20/Mar/2014

SHIMA SEIKI ITALIA S.p.A., Italian subsidiary of leading Japanese computerized knitting machine manufacturer SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD., will hold a private exhibition at its headquarters in Segrate, Milano later this month.

The exhibition will be a showcase for the company's technologically advanced lineup of computerized flat knitting machines, each featuring the company's exclusive four-needle-bed knitting technology. MACH2X series WHOLEGARMENT knitting machines feature SHIMA's original SlideNeedle on four knitting beds for full WHOLEGARMENT production capability. SWG-FIRST series machines feature in addition to its two needle beds with SlideNeedles, a transfer jack bed and a loop presser bed for increased knitting capability. SHIMA's brand-new SRY123LP machine that features two loop presser beds mounted above its conventional needle beds for performing inlay and other techniques for producing unprecedented knitwear with woven textures, and fabrics for industrial textiles as well. SHIMA will also be exhibiting its SWG061N compact WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine.

Demonstrations will also be performed on SHIMA's SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system that is at the core of the company's "Total Knitting System" concept. With comprehensive support of all aspects throughout the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion. Especially effective is APEX3's capability to improve on the planning process with Virtual Sampling. Photo-realistic simulation capability minimizes the need for sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process.
