Abstract

The machine of the invention includes a cutting device, a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a first moving arm and a second moving arm. The cutting device includes a platform, a lower mold on the platform and an upper mold correspondingly over the lower mold. The first conveyor is disposed near one side of the platform for conveying boxes to be cut. The second conveyor is disposed near the other side of the platform for conveying cut boxes and remnants. The first moving arm includes a first transmission and a first robot hand driven thereby for moving the boxes to be cut to a position between the lower mold and the upper mold. The second moving arm includes a second transmission and a second robot hand driven thereby for moving the cut boxes and remnants to the second conveyor.
