Abstract
Alignment features (60) associated with a support fixture (36) provide side scan data and top scan data reference points. Side scan displacement sensors (112) obtain side scan data of workpiece edge segments (23), and one or more cameras (130) obtain top scan data to provide a machining reference for the side scan data. The side scan data can be transformed into a top-view coordinate system usable by the laser machining system (140).
