Abstract: A method of controlling an industrial actuator, the method including receiving a manual input in the form of a displacement of an input element; in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position in a first input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a forward direction along a movement path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from a neutral position; and in response to the manual input being a displacement of the input element from the neutral position in a second input direction, controlling the industrial actuator to move in a backward direction along the movement path and with a speed corresponding to a magnitude or a speed of the displacement from the neutral position.

Abstract: An industrial robot including a movable robot arm for supporting a tool, and a control unit configured to control the movement of the robot. The control unit is provided with an alignment function for aligning the tool with at least one specified axis. The control unit is configured to supervise the movement of the robot, and to automatically adjust the orientation of the tool so that the tool is aligned with the specified axis upon detecting that the movement of the robot has been stopped and the alignment function is activated. Also disclosed is a method for controlling the industrial robot, and to the use of the method for teaching a robot a path including a plurality of target points by lead-through programming.
