Abstract

The invention relates to a marking apparatus for marking an object with laser light, comprising a plurality of lasers and a control unit for individually activating each of the lasers to emit a laser beam () according to a sign to be marked. A set of deflection means () for rearranging the laser beams () into a desired array of laser beams () is provided, the set of deflection means () comprises at least two deflection means (--) per laser beam (), in particular at least two mapping mirrors (--) or at least one optical waveguide and one lens per laser beam (-), and each deflection means (--) is individually adjustable in its deflection direction and/or individually shiftable.
