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 figure 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.

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