From the How-to of UR web site I found an example that show how to modify the speed slider from inside a robot program :

http://www.universal-robots.com/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/ur-how-tos/setting-the-speed-slider-from-a-program-15293/

I modified the Robotiq force sensor template program to set the speed slider based on the force (see Thread_2 on picture)
I filtered the speed parameter with a moving average to obtain something smooth and try this with a trajectory recorded with the Path node.
This program executes the recorded Path with a speed that decreases when the force increases. It could be useful in deburring task to reduce speed accordingly to cutting force. 

Someone could use a similar speed slider hack to adjust the speed at contact point of a fixed deburring tool, for example using the distance between robot flange and tool as parameter.
