A ribbon needle weaving loom including an electromechanic actuator for driving the weft thread insertion needle. A control device is provided and the actuator is configured—in co-operation with the control unit—in such manner as to allow preselection of the end position of the weft thread insertion needle at weft-insertion and of the position with retracted weft-insertion needle, and/or the starting time point of the motion of the weft-insertion needle and/or—the instantaneous speed of the motion of the weft-insertion needle, at least within a certain range. The electromechanic actuator is configured as rotary actuator or a linear actuator.

Fabric may be woven using a needle weaving machine. The needle weaving machine may have three weft fiber needles and two hooks for holding weft fibers from the weft fiber needles. One of the weft fiber needles may provide weft fibers to multiple hooks when weaving fabric with warp fibers held in a V-shaped profile. An electronic device may have a rectangular footprint with four curved corners. A length of fabric may be woven to form a case having four curved corners that match the four curved corners of the electronic device. The case may have a C-shaped profile with parallel upper and lower fabric portions coupled by a sidewall. Short rows of weft fiber may be used around the corners of the case to ensure that the upper and lower portions of the fabric lie flush with planar front and rear surfaces of the electronic device.

In order to provide a weaving loom having incorporated knitting threads, it is provided that the corresponding device for incorporating knitting threads comprises a feeding device for each knitting thread and, also for each knitting thread, a dipping guide needle (4) which comprises a thread guiding eye and which can be dipped between warp threads (2, 3) into the shed all the way below the insertion path of the weft-insertion device (7). Each one of the dipping guide needles (4) is slidingly arranged transversely to the warp direction, thus being able to move across the width of the woven material. Furthermore, there is provided a combing shaft (10) that comprises a plurality of teeth with intermediate spaces arranged therebetween for guiding the knitting threads. The combing shaft (10) that is slidable transversely to the direction of the warp thread and is rotatable around an axis in the direction of the rail is arranged transversely to the direction of the warp thread behind the stop position of the reed. The teeth of the combing shaft comprise protrusions which are designed in such manner that the teeth can retain the knitting threads in at least one rotational position of the combing shaft.

In order to better configure a ribbon needle weaving loomin particular for applications in which there are particular requirements for the setting of the weft thread tensionit is proposed to provide an electromechanic actuator for driving the weft insertion needle and a control device. Thereby, the actuator is configured in such manner as to allow preselection, by means of said control device, of the end position at weft insertion and of the position with retracted weft insertion needle and/or preselection of the starting time point of the motion of the weft insertion needle and/or preselection of the instantaneous speed of the motion of the weft insertion needle, within a certain range.
