A machining head is provided for a laser machining system configured to machine a workpiece using a laser beam. The machining head includes a housing having an opening for emitting the laser beam from the machining head; at least one reflective reference at the housing; and a measuring device configured to direct an optical measurement beam towards the opening and the at least one reflective reference. The measuring device is further configured to determine a distance (d) between the end portion and the workpiece on the basis of a first reflection (A) of the optical measurement beam from the at least one reflective reference and a second reflection (B) of the optical measurement beam from the workpiece.
