IMA at CISMA
With new series “EVO”, IMA will change for the better
and introduces at CISMA the revolutionary spreading line
preview which for sure will become the technical reference
point, not only for our customers, but also for our
competitors. IMA, who knows the market very well and
its facets, being at its core since 30 years, have a clear
focus of its customers profile and perfectly knows that
every field has its precise features which distinguish it
from the others. That’s why our solutions are specific for
each field and differ according to each customer’s requirement.
This is the starting point of the new “EVOLUTION”
series, which means the series of new IMA products which
are completely renewed; starting from CAD system –
“GENIUS EVO” – which proposes a complete suite of
programs and tools to support the professionals’ creativity
and productivity, to the new spreading machine fully
integrated, as well as the new labelling machine and the
new automatic cutter (2.5 cm) by which IMA will be
able to have very competitive prices with the best quality
results. New solutions fully integrated for your cutting
room, able to satisfy even the most difficult and complicated
needs of our customers in the different fields. And
the key of this success, you’ll be amazed, is simplicity;
that means easy mechanical construction, rational creation
and integration of the systems in order to make the
customer’s work easy and quick.
New Formula Evo 2,5 cm. model 918.06
Formula Evo 2,5 – Automatic cutting machine for compressed
lay thickness of 2,5 cmin according to the kind
of fabric to be cutted. The use of latest electronics and
total digital control of each single micro-function. This
important technical innovation makes Ima “Formula Evo”
able to adapt its own tehcnical-operative specifications
to the different fabric types (from denim to lycra) and to
the different lays (from 2,5 compressed cms. to single
ply), granting, in any situation, constant precision of cut-

ting performances, maximum speed, vacuum power
adaption to real requirements with high energy saving.
The Formula Evo digital technology allows to set
up the working conditions of the machine at every level
(electronic and software), to make it extremely flexible
and adjustable to any different cutting situation.
The system for digital parameters management allows
to memorize the best and most efficient cutting solutions
and call them back automatically, in case of similar
conditions. The machine is complete with self-learning
system with interactive touch screen panel, to enable
the operator to control all machine’s functions.
- Digital control of all components to obtain maximum
precision and possibility of feed back in real
time
- Possibility to optimize energy consumption
- Auto-diagnosis system to identify and advice eventual
errors or anomalies
- Clever vacuum system to maintain automatically the
level of suction required, improving the cutting quality
- Washable filter for vacuum pump
- Automatic correction of blade wear to guarantee always
maximum cutting precision
- Automatic calculation of cutting window and route
optimization
- Full compatibility with other systems by standard
file ISO/ANSI
- Two ways off-loading conveyor
- User interface easy and intuitive with possibility to
display in real time cutting process and production
data with connection to IMA centre for remote assistance
- Messages for preventive service

New Genius Evo CAD System
On the subject of software we have set up, in partnership
with a company which has been operating for 20
years in the formation of CAD systems for the Garment
Industry, a complete suite to support the professionals’
creativity and productivity. This is the starting point of
the new “GENIUS EVOLUTION” proposal; modular and
flexible, complete with programs and tools for digitizing,
processing, marker making, grading and calculating,
as well as new tools to develop one’s creativity. Telephonic
support, on line service, assistance and advise by remote
connection are always at your disposal to guide you for
the best use of all applications in order to obtain the best
result from your ideas.
The most complete software among those existing on
the market today, dedicated to the pattern division of the
Garment Industry: from the paper pattern designing to
the size grading, reach the optimization of fabric consumption.
It combines traditional data processing, allowing
the creation of the highest quality patterns in the shortest
possible time. The system eliminates the most difficult
and repetitive operations, improving productivity,
precision and quality of the final product. Each user has
the possibility to set his own preferences. The program is
fitted out with a huge data library of base patterns for
men and women, to be used as examples for the development
of patterns and their modifications and for the eventual
copy-paste of the gradings. An optional module allows
the “MTM” execution, starting from the base size
in a very quick and precise way.
The data processing module allows a perfect organization
of the collections, of the models, of the figures
and of the pieces conforming with the most generally
used methods in the Garment and Fashion Industry.
With the CAD system the pattern maker works with a
program which simulates all the traditionals tools, both
for pattern construction and for base size grading. The
computer achieves what usually has to be done by hand,
easily and in less time.

Macpi at CISMA
Macpi, which always distingiushes itself by its innovative
spirit, will introduce at CISMA a series of novelties
which will meet the latest fashion trend of the Clothing
Industry. On the subject of equipment MACPI will present
the new generation of 3 kind of machines already wellknown,
but totally renewed
for an improved application,
performance and flexibility,
qualities which are nowadays
requested by any of our customers.
The machine Macpi
model 288 has been designed
with a new concept in order
to completely adapt itself to
the new slim-fit shirt line
which couldn’t be pressed
with satisfactory quality results
by the old model. This
new model is also fitted with
2 innovative devices for yoke
and label pressing and for
pressure increase in case of
difficult fabrics. As well the
series 555, for jacket edge
facing and lapel pressing of
2,3, and 4 buttonhole jackets,
has been re-designed, holding
in due consideration the
current problems in the
pressing room, as for example
the space which
means the need to have machines with reduced overall dimensions.
Furthermore this new model is fitted with TSM
programmer, by which it’s possible to select a huge range of
pressing programs. Today flexibility has become the most
important feature requested by our customers and for sure
Macpi, by TSM programmers, which can be set up on most
of Macpi models, has solved many problems connected with
the old pressing programs, often too rigid/inflexible.
Last but not least Macpi is very proud of its Continuous
Fusing machines, of new generation, with their
double heating systems – by steam or by electric power
- for maximum energy saving. This double heating
system was already fitted on the old models, but the
great novelty is the use of steam, further than an innovative
heat insulation system which reduces the large
heating leakage.
Finally, for the first time at IMB show, MACPI will
exhibit its complete range of machine for “sew free”
garments in a dedicated “bonding area”. This range,
usually exhibited at specialized exhibition for intimate
and sportswear, allows the application of edges without
any stitching or garment assembling. Specifically
MACPI will exhibit machines for elastic lay-down,
hemming, binding and hot seal taping.
