Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a dynamic height adjusting system and method that uses capacitance for a head assembly of a laser processing system throughout a process cycle. The proposed system and method involves use of a single frequency in which a change in phase is measured and processed to determine changes in height and distance between a work piece with an increased reliability. The system further enables operative computerized processor control and substantial improvements in process control signal and feedback distribution throughout an integrated system and optional remote interfaces.
