Satisfaction Through a New Sense of Value
SHIMA SEIKI's SSR inherits 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 1.2 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
The World's First Digital Stitch Device, the Digital Stitch Control System(DSCS) can be programmed with the desired loop length, after which it monitors yarn consumption continuously and adjusts yarn feed and tension to yield consistency throughout the fabric to within a remarkable ±1% tolerance. The result is quality control that is essential to shaping and integral garment production.
R2CARRIAGE
SSR 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 ssr 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.
Takedown System
Other takedown systems employ needles which face sideways with a tendency to snag and failure to release fabrics. On the other hand, SSR's patented takedown comb employs a row of special forward-facing setup needles with an active release mechanism for consistent quality and complete, reliable, snag-free fabric release. The takedown comb can also provide fine adjustments depending on the type of fabric for stable quality under various production conditions.
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.
