Abstract: The invention relates to a device for producing a fabric, wherein, in each weaving step, a shed can be formed by means of warp threads, through which a weft thread can be led, and the weft thread can be pushed in the direction of a fabric edge by means of a reed. Here, a weft thread insertion device is provided, by means of which an angle of insertion of the weft thread and/or beating up the same at the edge of the fabric can be adjusted variably in relation to the weft thread. The invention further relates to such a fabric. According to the invention, the weft thread insertion device for adjusting the angle of insertion of the weft thread has at least one adjusting unit, which is coupled to the reed, wherein the adjusting unit comprises two piston-cylinder units, which are each coupled to one end of the reed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a woven fabric by means of a device, wherein in one weaving step respectively one shed is formed by means of warp threads, through which shed a weft thread is introduced and the weft thread is pushed in the direction of a woven fabric edge by means of a weaving reed. An angle for entering a weft thread is variably adjusted by means of a weft thread entering device. According to the invention, the angle of the weft thread to be entered in relation to the warp threads is adjusted between 40° and 90° by means of an adjustment unit, wherein the weft thread entering device is positioned by means of an electric drive via a gear with respect to the predetermined angle.
