Abstract

A weaving loom produces a fabric (F), with warp yarns and in-woven weft yarns. The weaving loom includes a warp delivery unit, heddles to form a shed, a shedding mechanism for moving each heddle vertically along a vertical path, a weft insertion means for inserting each weft yarn in a shed and for releasing each weft yarn at a given location along a weft axis, and a weft delivery means for delivering each weft yarn to the weft insertion means. The weaving loom also includes a programmable clamping means for picking up a first end of each weft yarn and for releasing each weft yarn at any predetermined position along the weft axis, and a programmable mechanism including actuators for semi-closing the shed around the inserted weft yarn at any predetermined position along the weft axis.
