Machine ID please

I recently bought out a closed engraving business and this was included in the sale and I'm not sure exactly what it does and if this is still used or has any value. I googled it and looks like the company that made it is out of business. Plugs into 220 volt and has connections for water hook-up. I know it's some sort of stamp making machine, has a drawer with UV lights, and came with a bunch of blank stamps like you would stamp the back of a check with. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Gary, it would appear to be a photopolymer processing machine, it was originally used for making printing plates but was adapted by the sign industry to make ADA signs. I used to run a similar machine from jetusa.com. Depending on the size they can easily sell for sell for $10k+, it doesn't appear to be the biggest though but could still be worth several thousand depending on condition.

Thanks Paul and Mark, had just enough time to glance at the website Mark and that is built just like the one I have. I'll study it some more over the weekend but the last thing I need is "another machine to learn to operate and maintain". Maybe I find someone who needs one and get it out of my shop! Again thanks for the info!
