Japanese computerised knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki is exhibiting at the Première Vision show in Paris to be held this month in hall 6, booth no. 6J40-6K41. The company will be showing its latest innovations in Wholegarment knitting technologies and also be taking part in the 'Knitwear Solutions' category for the flatbed knit sector.

On show is its flagship MACH2XS Wholegarment knitting machine that features its original SlideNeedle on four-needle beds technology and patented spring-loaded full-time sinker system.

According to the company, MACH2XS is the crystallisation of all of its experience and know-how, while being the pioneer in Wholegarment knitting, which allows a garment to be produced without the need for linking or sewing afterward.

“MACH2XS offers great flexibility for knitting high-quality, sophisticated Wholegarment products with seemingly endless variety of knit patterns, at very high speed, efficiency and productivity,” Shima Seiki said.

Also on display is the latest version of the SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system, which is at the core of Shima Seiki's 'Total Fashion System' concept.

APEX3 offers comprehensive support of the entire process of knitwear production from planning and design to production and sales promotion, as well as its capability for virtual sampling.

Ultra-realistic simulation capability allows virtual sampling to minimise the costly time and resource consuming sample-making process while enhancing presentation quality. (AR)
