Vacuum Generators and Suction Cups for Robotics in the Wood Industry

I have wooden boards I need to pickup with a robot. They are 7" x 25" x 1/8" thick. They weigh only about a 1/2 lb , but they have high and rough grain and at times they have a spilt in them. Do you know of any vacuum companies that , somewhat excel , in the wood industry. I would really like to stick with a vacuum generator.

Thanks, and have a good weekend.

Try these guys.

No firsthand experience with gripping wood, but their 'Andurasoft' material looks interesting.
