Pressing device and punching machine head

The invention discloses a material pressing device and a punching machine head, and the material pressing device comprises a material pressing air cylinder arranged on a mounting frame; the pushing assembly is arranged at the end of a cylinder rod of the material pressing air cylinder. The control assembly can control the material pressing air cylinder to move so that the pushing assembly can be close to or away from the cutting material machined by the punching machine head. According to the material pressing device, through the arrangement of the material pressing air cylinder and the pushing assembly, material pressing operation can be matched with punching operation to be intermittently carried out, the operation requirement that a punching machine head does not carry materials during punching operation is met, the operation and machining cost is reduced, and the flatness of cut materials is guaranteed; and guarantee can be provided for the accuracy of later cutting operation and precise punching. 本发明公开了一
