Claim:
A multi-process press machine press-working a strip-shaped material by a plurality of processes, the multi-process press machine provided with a drive source, a camshaft driven by the drive source and having a plurality of independent first cams and second cams, a plurality of die sets, each die set comprised of a punch and die connected with a first cam, material holding members connected with the second cams and holding the strip-shaped material against said dies at the time of press-working, and a base supporting said die sets, said plurality of die sets being arranged along an axial direction of said camshaft, each first cam being formed with a profile suitable for each process so that each first cam works with each punch and die to perform the press-working at each process, and the strip-shaped material being made to move along the axial direction of said camshaft between each punch and each die each predetermined pitch so that the cooperative press work of each punch and die at each process is successively executed at time intervals from each other.
