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 automatic eyelet buttonholer 581 from Dürkopp Adler delivers the necessary speed. Thanks to the compact Festo solenoid valves VUVG, it takes just under four seconds to create a buttonhole.
