One should prefer numbers, experiments, and real data over speculation! Here's a picture that illustrates these ideas: http://www.anderswallin.net/sandbox/trajectory.jpg
Note how the jerk-limited trajectory is slower than the acceleration-limited one. The jounce-limited ("double jerk") is slower still. Nevertheless these are often termed "time optimal" i.e. they are as fast as possible given the constraints. The spectra are fairly quiet from 200-600 Hz. My guess is the mechanical resonances of a machine are all below this, so the significant features of the spectra are a 2 to 3-fold lowering of the peaks around 50 and 200 Hz (?) This is from http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00170-011-3842-0 The math for exact-stop planning for jerk- or jounce-limited trajectories is not that hard and appears in many papers. The hard parts are: - blending ("cutting corners" within a tolerance) and/or lookahead (possibly many g-code lines per traj-period?) - how to handle feed-override >100%.(I suspect a feed-override change cannot be applied instantaneously) - non-trivkins (I suspect a jerk/jounce-limited traj-planner needs derivatives of the fwd/reverse kins?)
