Shima Seiki to exhibit at Expotextile Peru 2019

As a compact entry-level machine, the SWG-N2 series is perfect for knitting companies searching for ways to distinguish their services in a competitive market. On-demand knitting capability of WHOLEGARMENT knitting, combined with the great flexibility of SWG-N2 in producing a variety of items such as gloves, socks, leggings, hats and mufflers as well as childrenswear, provide new business opportunities as well.

The latest in conventional shaped knitting is represented by the SVR123SP computerised knitting machine, featuring loop pressers capable of inlay knitting for producing hybrid knit-weave fabrics that open up unprecedented knitting possibilities. SVR123SP furthermore features i-Plating inverse-plating capability for producing jacquard-like patterns in light-weight plain jersey stitch.

Also on display will be the latest version of its SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system. The APEX series is at the core of Shima Seiki’s “Total Fashion System” concept, made possible through its comprehensive support of the knit apparel production process from planning and production to sales promotion. Furthermore its capability for virtual sampling is especially effective in streamlining the production process. Ultra-realistic simulation capability allows the use of virtual samples for evaluating design variations without producing actual samples for each variation, thereby minimising the time, cost and resources normally required with sample-making, supporting smart, speedy and sustainable apparel production.
