The Consew 199RB-3A-1 is a single-needle, drop-feed 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 199RB-3A-1 performs operations similar to the 199RB-2A-1 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, canvas bags, and industrial textile products.
The machine features an adjustable zig-zag stitch width of up to 3/8" (9.5 mm), a locking zig-zag width regulator, reverse stitching, and combination zig-zag and straight stitch capabilities. Its horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook and large bobbin support professional sewing operations involving a variety of industrial materials.
With a maximum sewing speed of 2,000 stitches per minute for zig-zag and straight stitching, the Consew 199RB-3A-1 is designed for reinforced industrial seams, decorative stitching, and demanding textile applications.
Important: The 199RB-3A-1 is supplied with a 3A four-step/three-stitch zig-zag configuration. The manufacturer lists optional interchangeability between 1A, 2A, and 3A stitch configurations for the 199R (-1) series. Conversion requires additional gears, cams, and compatible parts that are not included with the standard machine.
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 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 standard machine is supplied with the 3A stitch configuration. Conversion to another stitch configuration requires the appropriate compatible gears and cams, which are not included with the standard machine.
