The original WholeGarment machine keeps getting better

New SWG-VWHOLEGARMENT® is gathering more and more attention around the world as the future direction of knitwear. Whereas with conventional knitting methods individual body pieces must be knit separately and sewn together afterwards, WHOLEGARMENT® knitting technology provides the means to knit an entire sweater which can be worn straight off the machine with no linking or sewing*.

Shima Seiki’s SWG®-V, the world’s fi rst commercial application of WHOLEGARMENT® knitting technology, has been in the midst of this garment revolution from the very beginning. Now, with our NewSWG®-V machine, we have carried over the proven productivity of the SWG®-V and enhanced its capabilities with new technology such as the yarn carrier kickback device (optional), increased memory for knitting larger, more complex items and improved ergonomics with the new LCD monitor-controller.

With improved functionality and increased performance, the NewSWG®-V realizes the future of knitting, today.
