METHOD AND MACHINE FOR THE ENGRAVING OF ARTICLES

摘要

The engraving of an article (7) with a bent/curved surface is carried out at an order site (1). Engraving instructions are fed into computer equipment which controls an engraving machine by means of control signals which depend on the input instructions. The engraving machine (8) comprises a rotatably arranged member in which the article (7) is secured. The control signals are received in the machine by control members which control the rotatable member and a device supporting an engraving needle. The member and the device are controlled in coordination in such a way that an engraving is obtained on the bent/curved surface of the article. It is proposed that Figure 1 accompany the abstract.
