SHIMA SEIKI to Exhibit at A+A 2013

On display will be the latest version of SHIMA SEIKI’s (Hall 9 Booth F10) original computerized glove knitting machine “SFG-I” in 15 gauge, demonstrating its new option for knitting gloves that support the use of smart phones, tablets and other touch-control devices. The new option also addresses work safety issues, as proliferation of touch-control devices increase throughout the work environment. The 15 gauge machine also addresses issues related to precision work that require both bare-hand sensitivity as well as safety protection. Also on display will be yet another one of SHIMA SEIKI’s original technologies, WHOLEGARMENT® knitwear that are knit in one entire piece without the need for sewing afterward. These will demonstrate their practical application as comfortable innerwear for safety applications. In addition to knitted garments, technical samples for industrial textile applications with specialty fibers using seam-free WHOLEGARMENT® technology will also be on display.
