Due to their simple kinematics, accessible components, and low operating costs, CNC plotters are among the most affordable and easy-to-use CNC devices. This makes them practically indispensable in universities and laboratories, where they are primarily used for educational purposes, such as learning the basics of CAD/CAM, interpreting control programs, and understanding the fundamental principles of servo drives and feedback systems. This article discusses both the advantages and the limitations of CNC plotters and laser systems. A method for improving pen control throughout the entire operation process is proposed, addressing a limitation commonly observed in CNC machines and 3D printers. Typically, control is performed using end sensors only at the initial stage of processing and calibration. During subsequent operation, such systems function in an open-loop or weakly monitored mode.
