The invention belongs to the technical field of cutting edge lens packaging. In order to solve the technical problems that an existing manual conveying method for a cutting edge lens material tray wastes both time and labor and is prone to error, the invention provides a conveying system and method for the cutting edge lens material tray, and the conveying system comprises mechanical devices. Themechanical devices comprise a suction device, an up and down moving device, a left and right moving device and a transferring device, wherein the suction device is used for grabbing the cutting edge lens material tray, the up and down moving device is used for controlling the suction device to move up and down, the left and right moving device is used for controlling the suction device to move inthe left and right directions, and the transferring device is used for transferring the cutting edge lens material tray. The method is the conveying method for the conveying system of the cutting edgelens material tray, and the conveying method comprises the steps that A, the cutting edge lens material tray is sucked; B, the cutting edge lens material tray is moved upwards; C, the cutting edge lens material tray is moved horizontally; D, the cutting edge lens material tray is laid down; E, the cutting edge lens material tray is loaded and transferred; F, the step A is performed. The conveyingsystem and method for the cutting edge lens material tray have the characteristics of being convenient to convey, high in production efficiency, not prone to error, rapid in changing the material tray and smooth in cohesion.
