Abstract
A method for joining a workpiece by means of a welding head, in which at least one line of light is generated on a workpiece, which crosses a joint line at a site to be joined and a joint seam generated at a joined site after processing. The lines of light are imaged at the site to be joined and at the joined site in order to generate reference data relating to the geometry of the site to be joined and measurement data relating to the geometry of the joined sites. The reference data and the measurement data are then compared at one and the same workpiece site before and after processing, in order to determine the geometry of the joint seam independently of the geometry of the site to be joined.
