Abstract
The invention relates to a marking apparatus for marking an object comprising a marking head having a plurality of receiving spaces for individual marking devices, wherein the receiving spaces are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, such that a two-dimensional array of receiving spaces is formed, and a driving mechanism for providing a relative movement of the object relative to the marking head in an advance direction during a marking operation. The marking head is rotatable about an axis extending transversely to the advance direction, at least one detector device is arranged downstream of the receiving spaces in the advance direction, and a control marking, which has been applied by at least one marking device arranged in one of the receiving spaces during the movement of the object relative to the marking head, is detectable by the at least one detector device at different angles of rotation of the marking head. The invention further relates to a method for operating a marking apparatus.
