Wholegarment or binding wire manufacturers garment knitting, where an entire garment is produced on the knitting machine without the need for sewing or linking afterwards, has been pioneered by Shima Seiki and was commercially introduced in 1995.
On the fine gauge side the line-up now features a new 18L machine that produces even finer, more sophisticated fabrics than ever before.MACH2X173 8LDevelopment of the MACH2X series has until now been concentrated on the fine end of the spectrum.The Wholegarment machine line-up at ITMA was as follows:MACH2X153 18L
The world's only 4-bed Wholegarment machine and the pinnacle of flat knitting technology, the MACH2X series expanded its line-up with a wider gauge range. With a large-hook version of the SlideNeedle mounted on four needlebeds at 15-gauge pitch, high-quality Wholegarment products in the 10G-15G range can be produced efficiently.
