4.4 Precautions for Auto Acceleration/Deceleration of Joint #3
When you move the Manipulator in horizontal PTP motion with Joint #3 (Z) at a high
position, the motion time will be faster.
When Joint #3 gets below a certain point, then auto acceleration/deceleration is used to
reduce acceleration/deceleration. (Refer to the figures below) The higher the position of
the shaft is, the faster the motion acceleration/deceleration is. However, it takes more time
to move Joint #3 up and down. Adjust the position of Joint #3 for the Manipulator motion
after considering the relation between the current position and the destination position.
The upper limit of Joint #3 during horizontal motion using Jump command can be set by the
LimZ command.

speed at the shaft upper
limit position.
When moving the Manipulator horizontally while the shaft is being lowered, it may cause
over-shoot at the time of final positioning.
