The characteristics are shown in the following window :
This type of mechanism allows to displace other objects such as images, jacks, supports, tables, conveying belts, detectors.

Note :
To ensure a displacement in X, Y, link the object to two positioners.
When the objects are linked, they move with the table as is shown below.
