8/May/2015

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 office in Segrate, Milano later this month.

The exhibition will be a showcase for the company's latest selection of computerized flat knitting machines, from a new version of its flagship MACH2X series WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine with SlideNeedles mounted on four needlebeds to the compact SWG-N2 series WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine with capability for industrial textiles, the SVR and SWG-FIRST machines each featuring ultrafine gauge capability in 18 and 21 gauge respectively, as well as the SRY123LP and SRY183LP with loop pressers that produce unique knitwear with woven textures.

Demonstrations will also be performed on SHIMA SEIKI'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 yarn development, product 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.
