SHIMA SEIKI has renewed its global standard for shaped knitting, SVR®122. The new N.SVR®122 features higher productivity through a lighter, more compact carriage combined with a maximum knitting speed of 1.4 meters per second and the R2CARRIAGE® System that permits quicker carriage returns.
It also carries over established SHIMA SEIKI technology such as the renowned Digital Stitch Control System
(DSCS®), spring-type moveable sinker system, stitch presser, takedown comb and yarn gripper and cutter system. Proven technology, along with Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, user-friendliness and cost-performance all combine to satisfy the high expectations of the world’s fashion industry.
