Can you explain your reasoning? Just as speed can not be instant nor acceleration, how can jerk be instant? Or are you saying the practical difference is so small that it's negligible in all but the highest performing machines? I do understand that each higher derivative returns less benefit. It's just hard to qualify what is worth the effort. I have seen graphs showing the difference between limited and unlimited jerk movements, but I certainly have not done real world test myself. and yes I did include physical deformation when I said it's impossible for a machine to move with infinite jerk. which again I understand would be probably impossible to measure on a low performance machine. I guess it really comes down to at what performance machine does jerk limitation show real benefits ? And I still don't see why one would want to turn off jerk limiting for some machine movements. Interesting discussion.
