Marking device

A marking device comprising a framework and a marking tool, a drive mechanism for moving said marking tool with respect to said framework, said drive mechanism including a first element fixed with respect to said framework and a second mobile element to which said marking tool is mounted, displacement means for displacing said second element with respect to said first element in two directions perpendicular to each other, said displacement means including a first linear motor element adapted to displace said mobile element in a first direction and a second linear motor element adapted to displace said mobile element in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and said first element having at a corner thereof an angle having sensors for detecting a positioning of said second mobile element at a position of origin.
