<p>A shed formation apparatus (10) which has increased flexibility and speed and finds particular application in automated reweaving of the ends of a fabric. The apparatus is generally comprised of a plurality of heddles (42) which will control yarn movement during the shed formation. Each of the heddles (42) has a yarn mail (48) and at least one control lead (50). Each control lead (50) is under the influence of a controller - stopper mechanism which controls heddle movement and position. The actuation of the stopping mechanism is controlled by a shed formation repeat pattern output means which determines the position of the heddle and the selection of the stopping mechanism in accordance with the repeat pattern.</p> |
