A unique machine for creating unprecedented fine gauge
fashion
Heralded as a historic breakthrough in knitting technology,
Shima Seiki’s original SPL of 1971 was the world’s fi rst machine to offer warp
insertion in a fl at (weft) knitting machine. Now, Shima Seiki revolutionizes
the industry once again by combining fully modernized warp insertion capability
with the latest in weft shaping technology.
Introducing the new LAPIS® warp-weft hybrid knitting
machine. Only the most advanced mechatronics engineering can realize such a sophisticated
technological combination. The result is evident in the unique products LAPIS®
can produce.
Multi-colour intarsia patterns can be combined with warp
knitting patterns such as vertical stripes and warp jacquard to provide an
unprecedented range of head-turning fabrics. Available in 10 and 12 gauge,
LAPIS® allows today’s knit designers to explore entirely new creative
opportunities with colourful fine gauge hybrid fabrics.
