A stitch in time

Production of eyelet buttonholes with solenoid valves VUVG

Buttonholes are not only functional but also have a visual aspect. However, in textile manufacturing there is generally very little time to produce them. The new automatic eyelet buttonholer 581 from Dürkopp Adler delivers the necessary speed. Equipped with the compact solenoid valves VUVG from Festo, it takes just under four seconds to create a buttonhole, reducing the cycle time by roughly one second. A second that can make the difference between being the market leader or just a competitor.

Festo technology makes the double-chainstitch eyelet buttonholer 581 the fastest of its kind in the world.
