In-process non-contact measurement systems and methods for automated lapping systems are disclosed. In an embodiment, a moveable frame can be controllably positioned proximate to a lapped work product. A control component can provide first control signals to control a movement of the moveable frame relative to the lapped work product. A non-contact measuring device can be coupled to the moveable frame measures a surface of the lapped work product and can transmit measurement data of the surface of the lapped work product to the control component. The control component can further provide second control signals to control a movement of the non-contact measuring device relative to the moveable frame.
