Shima Seiki Italia S.p.A, an Italian subsidiary of leading Japanese computerised knittingmachine manufacturer, in conjunction with its Romanian sales agent, KNIT-TEX ROM, is set to hold a private expo in Arad, Romania, from October 25 to 27, 2017. Shima Seiki is also the pioneer in complete garment manufacturing technology called Wholegarment.
On display will be a line-up of Shima Seiki’s computerised flat knitting machines ranging from conventional shaping machines to the latest Wholegarment knitting machines.
The flagship MACH2XS series Wholegarment knitting machine features Shima Seiki’s original SlideNeedle on four needlebeds as well as the patented spring-type sinker system. The SWG-N2 series compact Wholegarment knitting machine is a versatile line-up capable of producing a variety of small items and accessories as well as technical textiles.
SRY features loop pressers capable of producing unique knit-weave hybrid fabrics. The SSR series features Shima Seiki benchmark technology in a compact, economical package. A wide range of gauges will also be on display, from the ultrafine 18G SIR to the NSES coarse gauge machine in 3G.
Demonstrations will be performed on the SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system that is at the core of Shima Seiki’s “Total Knitting System” concept. With comprehensive support of all stages throughout the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from 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 minimises the need for sample-making, effectively reducing time, material, and cost from the sampling process. (GK)
