Abstract

A method for determining a position of a workpiece for a laser machining process includes the steps of: radiating a measurement beam to at least one workpiece and a support device surrounding the workpiece along at least one first and along at least one second measurement path, the first path forming a predetermined angle with the second path; acquiring a portion of the radiated measurement beam, reflected by the support device and the workpiece, along the first and along the second measurement path and generating a corresponding measurement signal, the support device and the workpiece comprising a reflectivity different from each other; and determining a position of the workpiece based on the measurement signal. A method for machining a workpiece by a laser beam includes the method for determining the position of the workpiece. An apparatus for determining a position of a workpiece is configured for conducting the methods.
