Marking Device

A device for the marking of a surface, that includes:

• a supporting chassis,
• marking means that include a marking implement designed to create a point or a mark that is more or less individual,
• and means for movement of the marking implement parallel to two planes of motion perpendicular to each other and to the surface to be marked, in order to create two-dimensional symbols on the surface to be marked, located within a marking window determined by the amplitude of the movements of the marking implement, where the movement of the marking implement parallel to the movement plane is effected by at least one rotation of the marking implement around an axis parallel to the other movement plane
• wherein the means for moving the marking implement include at least:
• a channel which is connected to the chassis in a thorough manner, and which provides guidance in linear motion for a trolley in one direction parallel to plane and to the surface to be marked,
• motor means for driving the trolley in linear movement in both directions along the guidance channel,
• an oscillating cradle, which supports the marking implement at least, and which is fitted to the trolley to at least pivot in relation to the trolley on axis parallel to direction,
• and motor means for the movement in rotation, in both directions, of the cradle on axis.
