Method for weaving a pile fabric, with application of weave corrections

Abstract

A method for the face-to-face weaving of a pile fabric whereby on a weaving machine in successive insertion cycles in each case two weft threads (1), (2) are inserted almost simultaneously between binding warp threads and pile threads, so that two backing fabrics are woven, pile threads (3), (4), (5) have parts which form pile according to a two-shot weave and have other parts which are inwoven in a backing fabric, and two married pile threads (3), (4); (4), (5) perform a pile change. The successive positions (B=bottom; M=middle; T=top) of each pile thread (3), (4), (5) are predetermined in relation to the weft threads (1), (2) in a series of successive lift plans, of which every lift plan determines the positions in relation to the weft threads (1, 2) of two successive insertion cycles. According to this invention an effect that could be the result of a pile change is prevented by replacing the last lift plan of at least one of the pile threads (3), (4); (4), (5) which perform the pile change prior to the pile change and/or the first lift plan after the pile change by a correction lift plan.
