The Consew 146RB-3A-2 is a single-needle, drop-feed, walking-foot zig-zag lockstitch machine designed for industrial sewing applications requiring reinforced seams. Featuring a four-step/three-stitch zig-zag configuration, horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook, large-capacity bobbin, and reverse feed, this machine is suitable for sewing elastic and stretch materials, canvas, nylon, vinyl, leather, synthetics, and similar materials.
Designed for applications requiring additional stitch reinforcement, the 146RB-3A-2 performs operations similar to the 146RB-2A-2 three-step/two-stitch model while adding another stitch for increased reinforcement. It is suitable for sewing boat covers, truck covers, tents, awnings, sails, parachutes, tarpaulins, and other industrial textile products.
The machine's drop-feed and walking-foot mechanism helps minimize material slippage during sewing, particularly when handling materials that are difficult to feed. Its adjustable zig-zag width of up to 9 mm, locking width regulator, reverse stitching, and maximum sewing speed of 2,500 stitches per minute provide versatility for professional sewing applications.
Important: The 146RB-3A-2 is manufactured with a dedicated 3A cam system that produces a four-step/three-stitch zig-zag pattern. The 1A, 2A, and 3A cam systems are factory-installed, are not interchangeable, and cannot be changed after manufacture.
The 3A stitch configuration produces a four-step/three-stitch zig-zag pattern that adds another stitch compared with the 2A configuration. This additional stitch provides increased reinforcement for industrial sewing applications involving stretch materials, protective covers, and other textile products requiring reinforced seams.
The zig-zag width selector and stitch-length dial allow operators to adjust stitching according to the sewing operation and material. The locking zig-zag width regulator helps maintain the selected setting, while the walking-foot mechanism assists with feeding materials consistently.
Important: The 3A cam system is permanently configured during manufacture. The 146RB-3A-2 cannot be converted into a 1A or 2A machine by replacing its cam.
