Shima Seiki: Air Splicer

Reliable high-speed yarn splicing for precise colour changes

Air SplicerThe precision that goes hand-in-hand with Shima Seiki’s excellent shaping, 3-D shaping and WHOLEGARMENT® capabilities is now available as a proprietary device ensuring the highest quality color changes in multi-colour knitwear applications. Introducing Shima Seiki’s new Air Splicer high-speed yarn splicing device. Unlike conventional knotter systems which mechanically tie together yarn ends, the Air Splicer cuts then twists together yarns with a burst of pressurized air with split-second accuracy. Working in precise coordination with our i-DSCS® Digital St itch Control System with Intelligence, the Air Splicer is able to time each splice so that perfect colour changes can occur exactly as programmed. Whether it be intarsia or jacquard, border patterns or argyle shapes, designs and patterns can be knit to precise specification and with beautiful results.
