Hajlító

Hajlító is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "bender" or "folder" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of metalworking and fabrication to describe a machine or tool designed to bend metal sheets or bars into specific shapes. These machines come in various forms, including press brakes, rotary benders, and manual bending tools. The primary function of a hajlító is to impart a permanent curve or angle to a piece of metal without causing it to fracture. The process involves applying controlled pressure at a designated point, causing the material's plastic deformation. The precision and type of bend are determined by the design of the hajlító, including its tooling, capacity, and control systems. In a broader sense, the term can also refer to anything that has the capability to bend or curve materials, though its technical application in manufacturing is the most prevalent. The effective use of a hajlító is crucial for creating components used in a wide range of industries, from automotive manufacturing to construction and art installations.
