Abstract
An engraving system for positioning a workpiece to be engraved. The workpiece is held in a workpiece carrier having a positioning structure that engages a complementary positioning structure on an engraving table. The workpiece is centered in the workpiece carrier so that when the workpiece carrier is in position on the engraving table, the center of the workpiece is known to the engraving system. This engraving system allows for an unskilled operator to engrave workpieces of different configurations in a reliable manner.
