<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper is devoted to an anisotropic curvature flow of the form <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ V = A(\mathbf{n})H + B(\mathbf{n}) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> in a band domain <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ \Omega : = [-1,1]\times {\mathbb{R}} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, where <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ \mathbf{n} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><tex-math id="M4">\begin{document}$ V $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><tex-math id="M5">\begin{document}$ H $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> denote respectively the unit normal vector, normal velocity and curvature of a graphic curve <inline-formula><tex-math id="M6">\begin{document}$ \Gamma_t $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. We require that the curve <inline-formula><tex-math id="M7">\begin{document}$ \Gamma_t $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> contacts <inline-formula><tex-math id="M8">\begin{document}$ \partial \Omega $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> with slopes equaling to the heights of the contact points (which corresponds to a kind of Robin boundary conditions). In spite of the unboundedness of the boundary slopes, we are able to obtain the <i>uniform interior gradient estimates</i> for the solutions by using the zero number argument. Furthermore, when <inline-formula><tex-math id="M9">\begin{document}$ t\to \infty $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, we show that <inline-formula><tex-math id="M10">\begin{document}$ \Gamma_t $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> converges to a traveling wave with cup-shaped profile and <i>infinite</i> boundary slopes in the <inline-formula><tex-math id="M11">\begin{document}$ C^{2,1}_{\rm{loc}} ((-1,1)\times {\mathbb{R}}) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-topology.</p>
