How to Choose Between Delta vs. SCARA Robots

Pick and place, sorting, and packaging applications often require high-speed manipulation of low-mass objects, especially in the electronics and food industries. Delta and SCARA robots are both designed for these applications. For many manufacturers looking to set up automation, the question is: which robot architecture is best?
Both types of robots are typically used high-speed material handling. Due to the high inertia and the design of the two types of robots, a payload is limited. However, the speed capabilities of these two types of robots is no joke.
