THE NEXT STANDARD IN WHOLEGARMENT KNITTING MACHINE TECNOLOGY

As pioneer of complete garment knitting, SHIMA SEIKI has been setting the standard exclusively in seam-free WHOLEGARMENT technology. Now that benchmark has been raised once again. Announcing SHIMA SEIKI's new flagship SWG-XR WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine. As the name suggests, SWG-XR pays homage to the very first SWG-X model, highlighting its commitment to 4-needlebed technology for all-needle knitting of high quality WHOLEGARMENT products. Adopting SHIMA SEIKI's original SlideNeedle, 4-bed WHOLEGARMENT knitting has steadily evolved with significant increases in productivity on MACH2X and expanded knitting range with the spring-type sinker system on MACH2XS. Now SWG-XR features a renewed sinker system and a compact, light-weight carriage featuring 4 systems as well as auto yarn carriers. All contribute to higher efficiency of 25% or more, increased product and yarn variety for supporting knits for all seasons, and higher quality for knitting beautiful fabrics and silhouettes; even items that were impossible to knit with the MACH2 series. SWG-XR sets new standards for the next generation of waste-free, sustainable WHOLEGARMENT knitting.
