A flexible manufacturing press assembly for the processing of sheet material through punching and forming operations having a plurality of tool assemblies of which each, in turn, group and support a plurality of processing tools. Each tool assembly has a punch magazine, a die block, and a stripper plate for processing the sheet material in the manner of a Class A die. A sheet material positioning assembly clamps the sheet material and positions it within a two-axis plane adjacent the tool assemblies. A punching head assembly, supported by the sheet material positioning assembly, positions a punching head adjacent the grouped tool supports. A selective transmitting assembly is supported by the punching head assembly and has a selector member that is linearly positioned and is furthermore rotatable to position a selected one of a plurality of contact faces to a striking position to enable the transmitting of a punching force from the punching head assembly to one or more selected tools within one of the tool assemblies.
