Claim 3:
4. An apparatus for engraving an image having the vibration generator according to claim 1, comprising:
a stylus to engrave an image;
a stylus holder connected to the arm of the vibration generator and holding the stylus;
a support spring supporting the stylus holder to allow the stylus holder to be vibrated according to resiliency of the support spring;
a table configured to support a medium to be engraved and move in an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction, and a Z-axis direction relatively to the stylus according to an engraving signal; and
a controller configured to control application of the current and relative movement of the table and the stylus, wherein
the vibration generator is set to output the vibration from the arm to vibrate the stylus holder in the Z-axis direction,
the support spring is arranged so as to be extended from a base end to a front end in a lateral direction, the base end fixed to a fixing portion and the front end at which the stylus holder is supported, and
the controller applies the current to the coil in the forward and the backward directions according to the engraving signal to vibrate the stylus in the Z-axis direction and causes the relative movement of the table and the vibrating stylus to move the vibrating stylus relatively to the medium supported on the table in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction, thereby to engrave an image on the medium to be engraved.
