Leading textile solutions provider Shima Seiki, of Wakayama, will exhibit at the China International Sewing Machinery and Accessories Show (CISMA 2019) in Shanghai this month. On display will be Shima Cutting Solutions, a fully integrated cutting system that offers smooth workflow from design and programming to fabric spreading, labelling, cutting and pickup of cut parts.

At CISMA 2019 Shima Cutting Solutions will be demonstrated through a display of the company’s CAD/CAM line-up consisting of the SDS-ONE APEX4 design system, P-SPR2K fabric spreading machine with labelling option, P-CAM161 multiply computerised cutting machine, and pickup table with pickup projector.

SDS-ONE APEX4 is a brand-new design system shown for the first time in China. Fabric simulation capability in circular knitting, flat knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing is designed to reduce sampling time, cost and material. New PGM software features improved interface and up to a 40% increase in productivity, compared to the previous APEX3 system.

Highly efficient Automarking Premium nesting software is available as well. P-SPR2K computerised spreading machine is said to provide smooth spreading and stacking of knits and other fabrics with stretch characteristics. The labelling option is available for affixing labels to each part for smooth pickup. P-CAM161 offers high-quality, efficiency and productivity with good cost-performance.

It is designed to handle precision cutting of a variety of fabrics and materials for flexible high-volume production. The pickup table features a pickup projector that projects images of cut parts onto the fabric to increase efficiency and prevent human error in pickup and sorting.

Also shown at the Juki booth will be the prototype P-CAM160 single-ply computerised cutting machine that will be demonstrating automatic pickup and workflow to sewing machine as an example of the Connected Industries Industry 4.0 proposal by the Japanese government. All Shima Seiki products are developed and manufactured with innovative technology, precision engineering and Made in Japan quality.
