1. An apparatus configured for scribing an electrochromic lite having a first side and a second side with an electrochromic device disposed on the first side, the apparatus comprising:

  • a scribe laser, a scribe beam from the scribe laser configured to impinge upon the electrochromic lite from the second side and to define a scribe optical path such that the scribe beam is substantially perpendicular to the second side of the electrochromic lite, the scribe beam configured to ablate the electrochromic device; and

    a triangulation-based distance sensor including a triangulation laser and a detector, the triangulation-based distance sensor oriented such that a first laser beam from the triangulation laser is substantially perpendicular to the scribe optical path, is reflected from the electrochromic lite, and then detected by the detector.
