The Global Standard for Computerized Flat Knitting
SHIMA SEIKI's NSSG122 is the new global standard, having inherited the know-how and experience accumulated over the years as the leading manufacturer of computerized flat knitting machines. Productivity is increased with a maximum knitting speed of 1.4 meters per second, as well as with the R2CARRIAGE System that achieves quicker carriage returns. It also carries over proven SHIMA SEIKI technology such as our renowned Digital Stitch Control System (DSCS), spring-loaded Full-Sinker System, Stitch Presser, Yarn Gripper and Cutter and Takedown Comb. Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, user-friendliness and cost-performance combine to satisfy the high expectations of the world's fashion industry.
Productivity / Reliability
DSCS
Considered one of the most significant breakthroughs in modern-day knitting, our patented Digital Stitch Control System (DSCS) is the only proven digital system field-tested and market-proven in the industry for over 25 years. No other manufacturer can claim this kind of experience or level of refinement.
R2CARRIAGE
NSSG122 features the Rapid Response R2CARRIAGE System which achieves quicker carriage returns after each course, resulting in a significant increase in productivity. Other improvements in hardware and software have also increased maximum knitting speed.
Versatility
WIDEGAUGE
The SV variant of NSSG122 offers WideGauge capability that allows a variety of gauges to be knit on a single machine. This allows the freedom to handle changing seasons and shifting trends without investing in a machine for every gauge or resorting to the complex, time-consuming task of gauge conversion.
The SHIMA SEIKI Takedown System
SHIMA SEIKI's fabric takedown system features the patented takedown comb which employs a fully-active row of setup needles. Their compound release mechanism offers complete, reliable, snag-free fabric release.
User-Friendliness
Spring-Type Full Sinker
Spring-type sinkers operate full-time regardless of carriage position, and provide gentle holddown movement, realizing significant improvement in quality and texture for complicated three-dimensional fabrics.
Stitch Presser
The patented stitch presser system features a special motor-driven system which allows the pressers to carry out individual on/off adjustments in both knit and transfer, in either course direction. These pressers are able to hold down fabric gently for improved consistency and control, contributing significantly to quality shaping.
Other Features
Yarn Gripper and Cutter
Our unique yarn gripper and cutter system consists of two yarn grippers and one yarn cutter that work in precise coordination with each other. Since the gripper and cutter are separate units, they can be independently activated to delay cutting while holding, or perform holding alone.
A User-Friendlier Knitting Machine
Space efficiency is improved during installation by integrating the fabric collection tray within the machine frame. The network connector is repositioned on the side of the controller for easier access when performing production data management with Shima Network Solutions. The USB interface is also positioned directly below the control monitor for improved access in data exchange. For those moments when power suddenly becomes unavailable, a backup power supply allows work to resume after power failures. This offers peace of mind that an entire garment will not be lost due to blackouts.
