The invention relates to a processing clamp for machining and/or processing of workpieces with large processing forces, including a clamp body with a first clamp arm and a second clamp arm and at least a tool with a first tool part and a second tool part which are movable relative to each other and define a working region. The first tool part is arranged to be traversable along a vertical tool axis on the first clamp arm to close the working region and the second tool part is arranged on the second clamp arm to form a workpiece abutment for at least one workpiece. The first tool part is adjustable from a starting position into a working position by an adjustment device. An actuating device is provided for applying a high processing power acting along the tool axis to the first tool part after the adjustment into the working position by the adjustment device.
