IT’S TIME FOR GRUPPO BONETTI
EXPO2026: Gruppo Bonetti Showcases the Future of Button Manufacturing Gruppo Bonetti’s EXPO2026 brings together manufacturers, technicians and industry professionals to explore the latest technologies, production solutions and innovations shaping the future of button and fashion-accessory manufacturing.

Dear customers, our expo is over and since you did not have the chance to take part to that, We would like to brief you on the news of the new innovations and technogy we showed.
Beyond the well known machines, we have displayed the following items/ machines:
SELECTA PLUS which is the full version of the QC machine. In detail, through its various cameras, it can check :
Dimensions of buttons, including the ovality, hole centering, hole dimensions, missing holes
Thickness of button
Colour sorting (will sort into 8 different shade/colours)
Surface control (chippings, cracks, logo laser missing partially or totally + logo centering and orientation
2nd choice buttons
Production is approximately up to 500 pcs/min depending on the type and size of button and it can work 24 hours without interruption.
Best features of this machines:
unlike other machines on the market this has a super fast setting through a deep learning and can be operated by a medium level worker.
2 types of settings: QUICK in 3-4 minutes and SMART in 15-20 minutes for deeper checking.
Report of all checked batches (will give you number of wasted button diving the dimensional errors, 2nd choice, how many each colour wasted etc…)
By this report you can adjust the problems you may have in production and reduce mistakes of future productions.
There is also the version SELECTA which is like the selecta plus but it does not not any surface control (no chippings, logo etc..)
CHC new closed circuit rod machine
This machine, unlike the AUTODISMATIC, injects the material directly into the base of the aluminium tube through a noozle which gives the shape of the structure.
So no more settings for chutes, funnels, pipes… just enough to change the noozle (and colour if needed) to change structures. THIS WAY THE STRUCTURES CAN BE REPEATED EVERY TIME SAME (keeping the same parameters)
For basic structure like center pearl production starts from 14L and over, from 18L and over, you can produce 3 colour structure and starting from 24L and over you can produce 4 colours structure.
Best features of this machine is that:
it can be operated by a medium level worker (not skilled as autodismatic).
Very little wastage in the rod (only 2 cm at base and 2 cm at top while autodismatic it can be 10 + 10 cm)
No wastage/dirtiness while changing from 1 tube to the next one.
If noozle needs to be replaced it costs a few tenth of euro
It can be cleaned by aceton still using the same closed circuit in a maximum of 15 minutes
I enclose some examples of structures made by CHC. It may be possible also to develop a structure on request and its cost will be communicated at time of offer.
AI CAM
It can be installed both on finished button machine (VECTOR BF) and on the turning machine ( TM NOVA.IT) instead of the photocell and it is a stand alone computer itsself. By a pc it can be programmed to select for turning machine:
the side of the blank (without any need to paint 1 side)
colours which are difficult to detect with the standard photocell
disturbed pearl which sometimes happens during blanks production, so avoiding to turn the uncorrect blanks shortening the production times and increasing the quality of the finished button
in addition for VECTOR BF, it c an select sides of shapes which cannot be detected by the normal photocell
this AI cam can be installed on new machines or on existing machine in your factory.
NEW CONTROL PANEL TOUCH for all machines
A larger, simpler and more intuitive panel with machine parts displayed in motion (shortly available in bengoli language also)
