A sheet metal working system includes a laser machining apparatus for processing a sheet metal in a laser machining region, a camera for photographing the laser machining region, an illuminator for illuminating the sheet metal, and circuitry configured to process an image photographed by the camera. The laser machining apparatus includes a sheet metal support member having a plate shape, the sheet metal support member having a plurality of elongated projections arranged in a first direction in a laser machining region. The sheet metal is disposed on the plurality of elongated projections. The camera is arranged such that the optical axis of the camera is oriented substantially parallel to the first direction when viewed in the height direction of the laser machining apparatus. The circuitry detects a bright region in the image as a machining available area of the sheet metal.
