Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for marking an object, particularly a vehicle, by disrupting the material of the interior or surface of the object. The system comprises a laser emitter (102), a laser beam delivery means (104) which can be flexible, and a marking heading (105) which is light enough to be carried by an operator. The laser marking system is very flexible in use, allowing many parts of objects, particularly vehicles, to be marked.

A laser marking system for marking a part of a vehicle by disrupting the material of the interior or surface of the part of the vehicle, the system comprising:
- a marking head comprising means for directing a laser beam to define a pattern,
- a laser emitter, and
- laser beam delivery means for delivering the laser beam from the laser emitter to the marking head, wherein the marking head and laser emitter are movable and both configured to be carried by a person, and wherein the emitter is carried on a personal load carrying system which is rigidly mountable on a user's body, the marking head being mounted on a support arm which allows the marking head to be moved with respect to the personal load carrying system while transferring the weight of the marking head to the personal load carrying system.
