  • Patent number: 10138531
    Abstract: An induction apparatus including a hardening control unit for controlling an induction hardening apparatus based on setup conditions data; a hardening monitoring unit that measures, as measurement data, the electric quantity in an electric circuit and that monitors an induction hardening status; and a data collecting unit that collects the data from various sensors in the induction hardening apparatus obtained when the induction hardening apparatus subjects the work to an induction hardening based on the setup conditions data outputted from the hardening control unit and that collects the measurement data from the hardening monitoring unit to store the collected data from the various sensors and the measurement data so that the collected data are associated to each other.
