Fixing device that determines rotation state of rotatory body based on position of outer circumferential surface of rotatory body in terms of radial direction and image forming apparatus including fixing device
Abstract:
A fixing device includes a first rotatory body, a heater, a pressure receiving member, a supporting member, a second rotatory body, a position detection section, and a determination section. The position detection section detects a position of an outer circumferential surface of the first rotatory body in terms of a radial direction. The determination section determines a rotation state of the first rotatory body based on a result of detection by the position detection section. The position detection section includes a first position detection member and a second position detection member. The first position detection member is located upstream of a fixing nip in terms of a rotation direction of the first rotatory body. The second position detection member is located downstream of the fixing nip in terms of the rotation direction.
