Claims
- 1. A weaving method comprising the steps of advancing a first set of threads at a variable speed along a first path; conveying a second set of threads along a second path transverse to said first path, said first and second paths having an intersection; weaving the threads of said first set with the threads of said second set at said intersection to form a fabric having a predetermined weave in which each thread of said first set advancing between different threads of said second set defines across the fabric a predetermined pattern which is a function of the distance covered by the respective thread of the first set; advancing the fabric along a predetermined path; monitoring the tension of the first set of threads; and regulating the tension of the fabric and of the threads of the first set, including controlling the speed of the first set of threads in dependency on said predetermined pattern and in dependency on the monitored tension.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the threads of the first set are warp threads and the threads of the second set are weft threads, said advancing step including advancing the warp threads step-by-step.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said regulating step includes maintaining the tension of the first set of threads substantially constant in the course of said weaving step.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein, said controlling step includes adjusting said speed in response to changes of tension of the first set of threads.
