Wakayama - Computerized flat knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki will exhibit at the upcoming 12th International Exhibition for Garment, Textile Machinery and Accessories (IGATEX 2019) exhibition to be held in Karachi, Pakistan later this month.
One of Shima Seiki's mains aims in the region is to assist in modernizing Pakistani factories that continue to rely on dependable yet aging older model Shima Seiki machines with the latest technology.
On display, therefore, will be Shima Seiki’s SSR series computerized flat knitting machine that materializes the company’s philosophy to offer the most advanced technology available at an affordable price, an ideal choice for the region's knitting mills that are looking to upgrade.
"Featuring industry-leading innovations such as the R2CARRIAGE, spring-type moveable sinker, DSCS Digital Stitch Control System, stitch presser and takedown comb, Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, user-friendliness and cost-performance combine to satisfy the high expectations of the world’s fashion industry," Shima Seiki says.
Demonstrations will also be performed on the SDSONE APEX3 design system that is at the core of the Shima Seiki’s “Total Knitting System” concept. With comprehensive support of the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion.
Photorealistic simulation capability allows for Virtual Sampling to minimize the need for actual sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost while increasing presentation quality in the sampling process.
APEX3 also supports design and simulation in a variety of other industries in addition to flat knitting such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.
IGATEX 2019 takes place from 26 to 28 February at the Karachi Expo Centre Main University Road, GulshaneIqbal, Karachi, Pakistan. Shima Seiki can be found in Hall 2, Booth A204
