Apparatus for movably supporting an object to be marked

摘要

Apparatus for movably supporting an object to be marked comprising a table assembly supported for linear reciprocating movement on a fixed platform. A generally U-shaped support member mounts a marking device for linear movement relative to the support member adjacent the table assembly. A first drive moves the marking device and a second drive moves the table assembly. The U-shaped support member can be arranged in two different positions relative to the table assembly so as to mark either a vertical surface or a horizontal surface of an object.
