Leading Japanese flat knitting machine builder Shima Seiki has added a new SWG-N2 series to its compact class of Wholegarment flat knitting machines.

The SWG-N2 series features Shima’s proven R2CARRIAGE system for higher productivity and a larger number of yarn carriers and holding hooks for yarn cutting, as well as a separate yarn holder with increased capacity, which allows for even more flexibility in multi-colour knitting.

Featuring the Wakayama based company’s renowned SlideNeedle on a 10, 16, 24 and 36 inch wide needle bed respectively, the SWG021N2, SWG041N2, SWG061N2 and SWG091N2 are capable of producing a range of fashion accessories from gloves, socks, hats, mufflers, neck-ties and other small items, as well as childrenswear and even leggings and tank tops, all in their entirety, with no sewing or linking required*. As a result, the usable range of a given yarn can be expanded to include coordinated items from head to toe for all ages, Shima says.

“In addition to their established reputation in the fashion industry, SWG021N2, SWG041N2, SWG061N2 and SWG091N2 are also capable machines for technical textiles, such as industrial material, sports, medicine and safety, expanding your business potential far beyond present limits,” Shima adds.
