Operating within the Bangladeshi market since 1996, this will be the eighth time the Japanese manufacturer will participate at the show.

Knitwear manufacturing

As an established market for knitwear manufacturing, Bangladesh has seen a significant increase in knit production for export purposes in recent years. At the same time, buyers are demanding quicker turnaround for orders with more variety.

Add to that the current demand for higher wages and improved working conditions, and the result is the current trend in transference of technology from manually operated hand-flat knitting machines to computerised flat knitting machines, the company reports.

At DTG 2015 Shima Seiki will be exhibiting its latest solutions to meet those current needs, as well as advanced innovations in preparation for market needs in the near future.

Exhibited Technology

MACH2SIR123-SV 14G

Shima Seiki’s intarsia specialty machine MACH2SIR offers high productivity. With a maximum of 40 intarsia carriers, MACH2SIR features the largest number of intarsia feeders available. Maximum knitting speed of 1.4 meters per second in combination with the new R2CARRIAGE System which achieves quicker carriage returns after each course, dramatically improves efficiency and productivity in intarsia production.

Previously, programming for knitting with so many intarsia carriers would have been overwhelming, but that issue is solved with the latest automatic yarn carrier setting software on SDS-ONE APEX3 design system.

SVR122-SV 5G

Developed as the new industry standard for computerised shaped knitting, SVR122 is Shima Seiki’s latest model workhorse machine. High productivity is achieved with a maximum knitting speed of 1.4 meters per second, as well as with the R2CARRIAGE System that achieves quicker carriage returns. SVR122 features the latest Shima Seiki technology, such as DSCS Digital Stitch Control System, full-time spring-loaded sinker system, stitch presser, yarn gripper and cutter and takedown comb among others.

NSES122CS 3G

Featuring Shima Seiki’s compound needle and sinker system, NSES122CS is a computerised knitting machine specializing in the production of coarse gauge knitwear. Compound needles are used for their short stroke and high stability suited for coarse gauge applications, while the company’s patented spring-type sinker system greatly increases pattern variety and at the same time assures gentle fabric holddown, the manufacturer reports.

SSR112-SV 7G

Shima Seiki’s most popular model, SSR112 offers high productivity, achieved with a maximum knitting speed of 1.2 meters per second, as well as with the R2CARRIAGE System. The machine also carries the company’s main technological achievements, such as DSCS Digital Stitch Control System, full-time spring-loaded sinker system, stitch presser, yarn gripper and cutter, takedown comb, and more.

SDS-ONE APEX3

An all-in-one 3D design system that supports all aspects of fashion design and production, SDS-ONE APEX3 is at the core of Shima Seiki’s Total Knitting System and Total Fashion System concepts, allowing smooth workflow from planning, design and programming to production and even sales promotion.

APEX 3 also improves on the planning process through photo-realistic simulation capability, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process with Virtual Sampling. Products can be checked with 3D simulation, such as 3D modelling, 3D fitting, and 3D mapping.
