Leading flat knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki will exhibit at the Febratex Brazilian textile industry fair that will be taking place next month. On display will be the cutting edge in computerized flat knitting technology, represented by the latest Wholegarment machines and design system. Demonstrations will also be performed on Shima Seiki’s SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system that is at the core of the company’s Total Knitting System concept.

Machinery on display

The exhibition will be a showcase for the company’s diverse line-up of its latest computerised flat knitting machines. The highlight of Shima Seiki’s exhibit at last year’s ITMA show in Milan, the flagship MACH2XS series features the company’s original SlideNeedle on four needlebeds and a new spring-type sinker system for significantly improved performance in Wholegarment knitting.

The new compact SWG-N2 series Wholegarment knitting machine offers a wide variety of production options, as well as the capability for producing industrial textiles. SRY123LP features a pair of loop presser beds mounted above a conventional V-shaped needlebed and is capable of producing novel knitwear with unique woven-like texture as well as technical textiles.

The company says its new SVR workhorse series resets the industry benchmark once again for shaping machines in the tradition of Shima Seiki's legendary SES and SSG machines. SFG and SFG-I glove knitting machines round out the line-up.

3D design system

With comprehensive support of all aspects throughout the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn development, product 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, the company reports. Photo-realistic simulation capability is said to minimize the need for sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process.
