Abstract
A storing section () stores a second initial contact instruction value, which is predefined as an instruction value for positioning a movable portion () to a second contact position where the movable portion () is contacted with a stopper (), and an initial standby instruction value, which is predefined as an instruction value for positioning the movable portion () to a specified standby position within a moving range of the movable portion (). A correcting section () calculates an actual standby instruction value by correcting the initial standby instruction value, based on a second actual contact instruction value obtained when a contact detection section () has detected that the movable portion () is positioned to the second contact position, and the second initial contact instruction value. A setting section () sets a standby position corresponding to the actual standby instruction value, as an actual standby position of the movable portion ().
