They are mounted on a frame with a deep throat. There is a table that supports the workpiece. A lightweight set of axis drives hold the edges of the workpiece and position it. Often a clamp holds the work in place while the punch is cycled. Many of these machines can bend and fold, as well as punch, so vent louvers and flanges can be made, too. This machine looks too old, but newer ones can also rotate the punch-die sets to make the machine even more flexible.
There is no "head", only the workpiece moves.
