SHIMA SEIKI's SSG 202, 234 and 236 longbed models are all part of the SSG series, a new generation of computerized knitting machines whose evolutionary progress has resulted in a fine balance of quality, productivity, versatility, user-friendliness and economony. In addition to such proven industry benchmarks as the optional DSCS Digital Stitch Control System and spring-type sinker system featured on SV- and SC-types, they all feature technology such as the new R2Carriage and WideTandem capability. SV-type machines feature even more versatile production with WideGauge capability,
Special knitting needles on SSG202SV, 234SV AND 236SV offer WideGauge capability whereby a variety of gauges-from fi ner-gauges using all-needle knitting, to lower-gauges using half-gauge knitting-can 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.
By applying overall improvements to both hardware and software, the new R2 (Rapid Response) Carriage System achieves quicker carriage returns after each course. The result is a signifi cant increase in productivity depending on the gauge and type of fabric.
SSG202, 234 and 236's twin carriages allow for flexible production choices. Each of these machines are capable of knitting panels along the entire width of the needle bed, or two identical pieces in tandem mode. Furthermore SSG234 and 236 machines feature increased versatility and productivity by maximizing knitting width through WideTandem capability.
