An apparatus for marking an object includes a marking unit for marking the object with a laser beam, a transporting device for transporting the object and a device for determination of a position of the object by means of ultrasonic waves originating from the object. A pulsed laser beam is directed to the object to cause vibrations at a surface of the object, by which vibrations the object is excited to generate ultrasonic waves.

1. An apparatus for marking an object, the apparatus comprising: a marking unit for marking the object by means of a laser beam;a transporting device for transporting the object; anda device for determination of a position of a transported object by means of ultrasonic waves, including at least one ultrasonic sensor for receiving ultrasonic signals from the object,wherein: at least one laser unit for generating a pulsed laser beam is provided, said pulsed laser beam being directed to the transported object and adapted to cause at a surface of the object vibrations, by which ultrasonic signals are generated, andcomputing means for computing the position of the object based on the received ultrasonic signals, wherein the laser beam for marking is directed to the object based on the computed position of said object. 2. The apparatus for marking an object according to claim 1, wherein the at least one laser unit is designed for generating more than one laser beam, wherein the frequency of the light waves of said laser beams differ from each other. 3. The apparatus for marking an object according to claim 1, wherein more than one laser unit is provided, wherein the laser units are located at different positions respectively, generating pulsed laser beams being directed to the same object. 4. The apparatus for marking an object according to claim 1, wherein: more than one laser unit is provided wherein a first laser unit is provided for said marking unit for generating a laser beam, said laser beam being directed to the object in order to mark said object, anda second laser unit is provided for generating a pulsed laser beam,said pulsed laser beam being directed to the object and adapted to cause at a surface of the object vibrations, by which the object is excited to generate ultrasonic signals. 5. The apparatus for marking an object according to claim 1, wherein: the at least one laser unit can be run in a first operation mode, in which a pulsed laser beam is generated, said pulsed laser beam being directed to the object and adapted to cause at a surface of the object vibrations, by which ultrasonic signals are generated, and can be run in a second operation mode in which the object is marked by the laser beam generated by the at least one laser unit operating in the second operation mode. 6. The apparatus for marking an object according to claim 1, wherein:an adjusting device is provided for adjusting the laser beam generated by the at least one laser unit to direct the laser beam to the object, which is moved by the transporting device, based on the information about the position of the moved object which is transmitted from the computing means to the adjusting device. 7. A method for marking an object, comprising: transporting the object to be marked by means of a transporting device, and determining the position of the transported object by means of ultrasonic waves, wherein: a pulsed laser beam is generated by at least one laser unit,said laser beam is directed to the transported object,by means of the pulsed laser beam at a surface of the transported object vibrations are caused, by which the object is excited to generate ultrasonic signals,the ultrasonic signals are received from the object by at least one ultrasonic sensor, andbased on the received ultrasonic signals the position of the object to be marked it computed. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein: the object is marked by at least one laser beam, andthe laser beam is directed to the object based on the computed position of said object. 9. The method according to claim 7, wherein a marking apparatus is used to mark the object, the marking apparatus including: a marking unit for marking the object by means of the laser beam;the transporting device for transporting the object; anda device for determination of the position of the transported object by means of the ultrasonic waves, including at least one ultrasonic sensor for receiving ultrasonic signals from the object,wherein: the at least one laser unit generates the pulsed laser beam, andcomputing means for computing the position of the object based on the received ultrasonic signals, wherein the laser beam for marking is directed to the object based on the computed position of said object.
