Well if you’re programming from COR the further you get from the centerline the more any errors in the true position will be magnified with rotation. So that’s the main reason for staying close to centerline.
When I’ve had parts that needed indexing for rotation I just have the program stop at the end with an M0 with the A axis where you want it, load/unload, then close the door and cycle start for the next line that indexes it to the next position, rinse and repeat till done and then get to your M30. I most often do it for a coolant dump and air blast in a good position, and then index to a position comfortable for the operator to pull a pallet when doing larger pallets.
