Product Information

Consew 199RB-2A-2 Single Needle Drop Feed Three-Step Zig-Zag Lockstitch Machine

Three-Step/Two-Stitch Zig-Zag, Large Bobbin, Rotary Hook & Reverse Stitching

The Consew 199RB-2A-2 is a single-needle, drop-feed industrial zig-zag lockstitch machine designed for reinforced stitching, elastic materials, stretch fabrics, and demanding industrial textile applications. Featuring a three-step/two-stitch zig-zag configuration (Federal Stitch Type 308), horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook, large-capacity bobbin, and reverse feed, this machine provides versatile stitching capabilities for professional sewing operations.

Designed for industrial sewing applications requiring reinforced seams, the Consew 199RB-2A-2 is suitable for stitching boat covers, truck covers, tents, awnings, sails, parachutes, tarpaulins, canvas bags, and military or naval textile equipment. It works with canvas, nylon, vinyl, leather, synthetic fabrics, elastic materials, and similar textiles.

The machine combines zig-zag and straight lockstitch capabilities with a maximum zig-zag width of 9 mm. Its locking zig-zag width regulator helps maintain the selected stitch setting, while reverse stitching allows operators to reinforce seams. A large bobbin and horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook support industrial sewing applications.

With a maximum sewing speed of 2,500 stitches per minute, 10 mm presser foot clearance, and 10" (258 mm) workspace, the 199RB-2A-2 is designed for professional sewing operations involving reinforced stitching and industrial fabrics.

Important: The Consew 199RB-2A-2 is manufactured with a dedicated 2A cam system that produces a three-step/two-stitch zig-zag pattern. The 1A, 2A, and 3A cam systems are factory-installed, are not interchangeable, and cannot be changed after manufacture. Customers must select the appropriate stitch configuration when purchasing.

Stitching Capabilities

  • Stitch Type: Zig-Zag Lockstitch
  • 2A Stitch Configuration: Three-Step/Two-Stitch Zig-Zag
  • Federal Stitch Type: 308
  • Maximum Zig-Zag Width: 9 mm
  • Maximum Stitch Length: 5 mm (5 stitches per inch)

  • Reverse Feed: Yes
  • Maximum Sewing Speed: 2,500 S.P.M.
  • Cam System: 2A (Factory-Installed, Non-Interchangeable)

The 2A stitch configuration produces a three-step/two-stitch zig-zag pattern designed for applications requiring reinforced seams. This stitching configuration is especially suitable for elastic materials, stretch fabrics, industrial canvas products, and protective covers.

The zig-zag width selector allows operators to adjust stitch width according to the sewing operation and material. When the zig-zag width is set to 0 mm, the machine performs straight lockstitch sewing.

The locking zig-zag width regulator helps maintain the selected setting, while the stitch-length adjustment mechanism allows operators to control stitch length. Reverse stitching provides a convenient method for securing and reinforcing seams.

Important: The 2A cam system is permanently configured during manufacture. The Consew 199RB-2A-2 cannot be converted into a 1A or 3A machine by replacing its cam.
