"Orient Plane-KUKA|prc" - Function

[riheco8200]

I've found that this component will rotate planes around their Z-axis and I wonder why the component can facilitating reachabilyty in this way.
By the way,how can the Orient Point define the angles that the planes rotate?

Hello,

That applies primarily to processes like milling where the rotationally-symmetrical tool provides you with a degree of freedom for optimization. So rotating around the tool axis will leave the process mostly identical, but may greatly improve reachability.
