Leading flat knitting machine manufacturer SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. of Wakayama, Japan will participate in a private exhi- bition to be held by its second-tier subsidiary SHIMA SEIKI FRANCE SARL at its main office in Courbevoie near Paris later this month.
The exhibition will be a showcase for the company's latest computerized flat knitting machines technology. From the flag- ship MACH2X series with SlideNeedles mounted on four needlebeds to the SWG-N series compact WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine, as well as the SRY123LP with loop pressers that produce unique knitwear with woven textures, the line- up is sure to impress with its highly advanced technology. Also on display is the SCG122SN coarse gauge machine, as well as SHIMA SEIKI's new SVR series workhorse machine that becomes the new industry benchmark.
Demonstrations will also be performed on SHIMA SEIKI's SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system that is at the core of the company's "Total Knitting System" concept. With comprehensive support of all aspects throughout the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn development, product planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion. Especially effective is APEX3's capability to improve on the planning process with Virtual Sampling. Photo-realistic simulation capability minimizes the need for sam- ple-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process.
