Shima Seiki has introduced innovations in its computerised flat knit technology. The flagship Mach 2XS features Shima Seiki’s original slide needle on four needle beds and offers higher efficiency and greater stability while knitting with an expanded range of patterning capability.

The SWG-N2 whole garment knitting machine offers increased color capacity as well as the capability for producing industrial textiles. SRY123 LP features loop presser beds and is capable of producing fabrics with woven textures as well as technical textiles.

The yarn unwinding option is an essential tool for industrial textile applications, providing a smooth and stable yarn feed of material that is normally difficult to feed into knitting machines, such as metallic and mono filament yarns.

The SDS-One Apex 3 system is at the core of the company’s total fashion system concept. With comprehensive support of the knit supply chain, Apex 3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion.

Virtual sampling through photo-realistic simulation minimises the need for sample making, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process. Apex 3 also supports design and simulation in various other industries such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.
