Abstract: A tool system includes a fastening unit, a sensor unit, a storage device, and a decider. The sensor unit detects a physical quantity while the fastening unit is performing a fastening operation. The storage device stores criterion information. The criterion information has been set based on a criterion correlation between a plurality of criterion feature quantities used as criteria for making a decision about the fastening state of the fastening member. The decider makes the decision about the fastening state of the fastening member in accordance with not only the criterion information but also an actually measured correlation. The actually measured correlation is a correlation between a plurality of actually measured feature quantities based on the physical quantity detected by the sensor unit.

Abstract: A pressure member contacts a heating member to form a nip part where a recording material is heated and pinched-conveyed, and includes a first elastic layer and a second elastic layer 24b having a higher thermal conductivity than that of the first elastic layer. An elastic layer is formed of a combination of the first elastic layer and the second elastic layer so that the thickness of the second elastic layer at the end portion is thicker than the thickness of the second elastic layer at the center portion in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a recording material conveyance direction. Accordingly, when using the pressure member to contact the heating member to form the nip part, it is possible to reduce the difference between a center nip width and an end-portion nip width of the nip part.
