French warp knitting machine specialist Schinasi International Textile Machines (SITM) recently launched a next generation SITM NEXT retrofittable machine control system for warp knitting machines.

Based in Chateloup les Vignes near Paris, the company, which has over thirty years of experience in refurbishing warp knitting machines to high standards, has already installed more than 30 SITM NEXT systems worldwide.

The patented SITM NEXT, which was developed in partnership with Schneider electric and is CE certified, is the successor to the NS5, a system introduced in 2012 that achieved global success, with over 300 units currently in operation.

“The new SITM NEXT system can control every function of the machine without exception. Whether it's a Karl Mayer or a LIBA, a tricot, Raschel or weft insertion machine, our system is universal and adapts to all machines regardless of their age, type, or condition,” SITM's Jordan Schinasi told Knitting Industry.

“With SITM NEXT, unlock your machine's full potential, ensure its longevity for the next 10 years, and enjoy functionalities comparable to brand-new machines - all at an attractive price,” Mr Schinasi added.

From yarn feeding control (single or multi-speed) to fabric take-up and batching devices, the SITM NEXT system offers comprehensive support. It is compatible with all weft insertion systems, including weft carriers, chains, and rakes. Additionally, EL (guide bar control) is now available as an optional feature for any of these machines.

“Our team of qualified technicians will come to your location and install this retrofit kit in just a few days. After a brief training session, your team will master the system and easily take control thanks to our simple, intuitive, and modern interface,” Jordan Schinasi adds.

“Finally, SITM NEXT offers remote troubleshooting capabilities via an optional Wi-Fi VPN router. This allows us, with your authorization, to remotely access your machine for diagnostics and send updates as needed,” he concludes.
