Abstract
A positioner includes a housing, a table, a drive portion, a cylinder, a first winder, and a first cord. The cylinder includes a first opening at the rotation center of the table, and a second opening opposite and connected to the first opening. The first winder is disposed outside the second opening of the cylinder. The first cord includes a first lead-out portion and a first wound portion. The first lead-out portion enters the second opening, passes through the cylinder, and is led out from the table. The first wound portion is wound around the first winder according to the rotation of the table. Thus, the positioner can increase the number of air tubes or wires led out onto the table without increasing its size.
