Need Help!- Rigid Tapping with Meldas 330HM-V?

[mty_cnc]

Does anyone know how I can check if my machine with Meldas 330HM-V is equipped with Rigid Tapping option?

The best way would to try it. Just cut air to test it out at first. Turn on control parameter #29. Test this:
G91G84X0Y0R-.5Z-1.E13S200.;
G80;
M30;

The spindle and Z axis should start at the same time and the movement should be smooth with the Z axis at the beginning and end of the stroke. The spindle will not turn on until it is at the R-plane, then accelerate with the Z axis.

I just noticed your location as Mexico. If you are doing metric threads then try this for the program: G84G98X0Y0R-12.5Z-25.F1.5S200;
G80
M30

The F is the pitch. The E is for threads per inch.
