1. A method for orienting a surface sensing device using an apparatus that includes a support attachable to a moveable arm of a machine, the support a first member rotatable about a first axis of rotation, a surface sensing device for sensing the surface of a workpiece, the surface sensing device being releasably connectable, directly or indirectly, to the first member for rotation therewith, the method comprising:

  • disconnecting the surface sensing device from the first member of the support, said surface sensing device being connected to the support in a first orientation;

    rotating the first member of the support relative to the surface sensing device; and

    reconnecting the surface sensing device and the first member of the support into a second orientation.
