MACH2 XS WHOLEGARMENT Specialized Knitting Machine – A Breakthrough Solution in Flat Knitting Technology
– MACH2 XS is a leading specialized knitting machine within SHIMA SEIKI’s WHOLEGARMENT® line. It is designed with 4 needle beds and equipped with the exclusive Slide Needle, providing an ideal combination for producing seamless knitwear (WHOLEGARMENT) by utilizing all needles.
– A key highlight of the MACH2 XS is the world’s first application of a spring-type sinker system on a 4-needle bed machine—a patented technology by SHIMA SEIKI. This allows the machine to handle complex and 3D dimensional structures with high precision and quality.
– The MACH2 XS also supports flechage techniques (a method of increasing/decreasing stitches for shaping), making it easier to expand design possibilities and create innovative new patterns.
– With a maximum knitting speed of up to 1.6 meters/second and the R2CARRIAGE system, the machine significantly reduces carriage return time, outstandingly boosting overall productivity.
– Knitting quality is guaranteed through the integrated i-DSCS+DTC (Intelligent Digital Stitch Control System + Dynamic Tension Control), which monitors and controls active tension to ensure every stitch is consistent and stable.
– Additionally, the machine is perfectly compatible with the SDS-ONE APEX series, supporting virtual sampling to minimize product development costs and time. This enables businesses to implement IoT-integrated digital production and realize mass customization—a significant step toward sustainable, zero-waste manufacturing.
– The combination of the MACH2 XS and the APEX system is redefining the entire value chain in the textile industry, transitioning from traditional labor-intensive models to a modern, flexible, and highly efficient industry.
