Device for manufacturing a fabric, and fabric

A device for manufacturing a fabric, comprising:

• at least one carrier;
• a plurality of leno weave apparatus disposed on the at least one carrier, wherein two leno threads are fed to each leno weave apparatus, and each leno weave apparatus is operable to raise a shed of the corresponding leno thread;
• at least one weft thread picking device;
• wherein a weft thread is introduced into the shed of each of the leno threads raised by the leno weave apparatus;
• wherein the weft thread is bound using at least two leno threads over the width of the fabric at a plurality of points behind the weft thread;
• wherein at least one of the leno weave apparatus disposed in an end region of the fabric carries out a higher number of interlacings for achieving a homogenized warp tension distribution over a width of a fabric than at least one leno weave apparatus arranged in a central region of the fabric and/or wherein the closing of the shed is carried out by the leno weave apparatus over the width of the fabric at different times for achieving a homogenized warp tension distribution.
