After the cutting device 70 finishes cutting the to-be-cut piece, the second horizontal driving device 833 drives the second suction structure 831 to move towards the second preset position until the second suction structure 831 conveys the to-be-cut piece to the second preset position for unloading.

As shown in fig. 5, the first stage assembly 82 further includes a first driving member 824 connected to the first suction structure 821, the first horizontal driving device 823 is connected to the first suction structure 821 through the first driving member 824, and the first driving member 824 drives the first suction structure 821 to move along the height direction Z.
