<p>The present invention provides a method and apparatus for marking vehicles using a laser. In order to allow any part of the vehicle to be marked using a simple, strong laser beam delivery conduit, the laser is mounted on a structure (101) which extends over a vehicle station (102). The structure defines at least three laser mounting positions and preferably four laser mounting positions (A, B, C, D) spaced apart from one another in two dimensions for mounting at least one laser apparatus (107). The laser apparatus (107) comprises a laser emitter (108) for producing a laser beam adapted to mark a part of the vehicle and laser beam delivery means (110) for delivering a laser beam from the laser emitter (108) to a selectable point of the vehicle station (102). The laser apparatus (107) is movable between at least two and preferably all four of the laser mounting positions (A, B, C, and D).</p> |
