Abstract

A weaving machine includes a shed forming device, a weft insertion device, and a weaving reed that beats up the weft threads at a beat up plane against an edge of the woven fabric. A guide device extends over a width of the woven fabric and is driven by a drive, the guide device being one or both of an upper guide unit that contacts a top surface of the woven fabric or a lower guide unit that contacts a bottom surface of the woven fabric. A control unit controls alternating movement of the guide unit along the direction of thickness of the woven fabric as the fabric is being woven based on information related to one or both of a structure of the woven fabric in the area of the beat up plane or a position of the warp threads in the open loom shed.
