Abstract:
A process for producing a high-density woven fabric on a water-jet loom, comprising:(a) feeding a warp having up to three catch threads on a first edge and having a second edge opposite to the first edge, (b) inserting weft threads into the warp, (c) beating-up the weft threads in the direction of the catch threads to produce a woven fabric, (d) jointly twisting the catch threads to place the weft threads under tension, (e) severing the ends of the weft threads, and (f) removing the ends of the weft threads together with the catch threads, using 5 to 60 warp threads as support threads following the catch threads on the first edge of the warp, using 5 to 60 warp threads as support threads on a second edge of the warp, maintaining the support threads at a tension that is higher than the threads forming remaining warp, severing the weft threads located between the edges of the remaining warp and catch threads by fusion, joining the edges of the severed weft threads to the edges of the remaining warp, and removing the severed ends of the weft threads together with the support threads.
