Abstract

The invention relates to a device for aligning and supporting an artwork for a light exposure installation of a printed circuit board, whereby the device includes a fixed horizontal supporting structure. The device also includes an artwork support constituted by a rectangular frame and a glass that is integral with the rectangular frame and suitable for receiving an artwork. The device is capable of supporting and lifting the artwork support suitable for maintaining the artwork support horizontal in a given plane and for producing a co-operation which is substantially without any friction between the artwork support and the supporting structure, temporarily securing the supporting structure to the frame of the artwork support, and aligning the artwork support with respect to the supporting structure in a horizontal plane in two orthogonal directions.
