Versatility Combined with Coarse Gauge WHOLEGARMENT
SHIMA SEIKI's NewSES-C･WG is an extremely flexible machine which realizes quality knitting in a range of production styles. While it is capable of shaping and integral knitting, what makes this machine is its capability to knit coarse gauge WHOLEGARMENT knitwear. Using special compound needles and a fabric takedown system featuring our own Pulldown Device, NewSES-C･WG is capable of high-quality coarse gauge WHOLEGARMENT production which fits the body perfectly in three dimensions. Other features include SHIMA SEIKI's exclusive Yarn Carrier Kickback Device (optional) for efficient production of intarsia and integral knits, as well as Second Stitch for high-quality production through the use of loose / tight stitches. The great versatility of NewSES-C･WG makes it the perfect choice for adopting WHOLEGARMENT production methods in coarse gauge applications, while maintaining flexible support of varying market demand.
Entry-Level WHOLEGARMENT
NewSES-C･WG is capable of WHOLEGARMENT production, allowing an entire garment to be produced on the knitting machine without any linking or sewing*. Aside from the cost-savings associated with eliminating post-knit processes, WHOLEGARMENT reduces production time and offers on-demand support of new and repeat orders, consistent quality control and elimination of cut-loss and other material waste. WHOLEGARMENT products appeal to consumers because of their soft, lightweight comfort and fit brought about by the elimination of annoying seams.
* Some designs may require partial stitching.
Special Compound Needles
NewSES-C･WG employs compound needles designed especially for coarse gauge applications. Compared with conventional latch-type needles, the special compound design offers higher operational stability which is required for larger needle sizes. Subsequently, our coarse gauge machines offer optimum uniform quality of finished items. Moreover, compound needles offer significant reductions in needle stroke to allow for similar reductions in needle bed and carriage size, further improving productivity and efficiency.
Pulldown Device
NewSES-C･WG's new computer-controlled takedown system consists of front and rear panels over which tiny pins are distributed for separately controlling takedown tension for the front and back when knitting WHOLEGARMENT. In addition, each panel is separated into 1.5-inch sections which can be individually controlled for specific tension control across the entire width of the garment. This precise control over takedown tension permits a more dimensionally accurate, higher quality garment which conforms better to the shape of the body.
Yarn Carrier Kickback Device (optional)
When knitting integral garments and intarsia on conventional V-bed systems, the yarn carrier is positioned by carriage movement. After knitting the integral or intarsia portion for each course, the carriage must spend a dedicated course specifically for moving the yarn carrier out of the way in order to knit the next course, resulting in wasted "empty courses." In sharp contrast, NewSES-C･WG's optional yarn carrier kickback device features a motor-driven active carrier system whereby the carrier lifts itself up and over to make way for the carriage's next knitting course, eliminating the need for any extra empty courses and significantly improving productivity.
