Note the following relationships:
• Jerk Limiting trades maximum snap for lower maximum jerk
• Jerk Limiting automatically induces jerk dwells with smooth transitions,
which extends the move time
• Jerk Limiting does not affect energy directly
The following example shows what happens when acceleration limits are lowered below
what is required by an unconstrained move with adjusted acceleration time.
Figure 34 - Acceleration Limiting with Adjusted Times
Note the following relationships:
• Acceleration Limiting trades maximum jerk and snap for lower maximum
acceleration
• Acceleration Limiting automatically induces an acceleration dwell with a
smooth transition, which extends the move time
• Acceleration Limiting does not affect energy directly
