Abstract:
A switching valve includes a valve head having a plurality of connection ports connecting a pipe, a rotor accommodated therein and including a groove for connecting the connection ports, and a rotor shaft holding the rotor and rotatably equipped, and a driver having a holder holding the valve head and a motor rotating the rotor shaft of the valve head held by the holder. Further, the valve head is provided with a home position sensor detecting a reference position in a rotation direction of the rotor shaft, and a teaching information holder holding information on a relative positional relationship between the reference position and a position of the rotor shaft when the rotor is at a predetermined position, and the reference position acquired using the home position sensor.
