With a 2 kg payload, standard cycle times for the TH550 are 0.33s; and 0.49s for the TH850. Maximum payload mass is 5 kg and 20 kg for the TH550 and the TH850, respectively. The total arm length of the TH550 is 550 mm, while the TH850's total arm length is 850 mm.

Positioning repeatability is +/- 0.015 mm for the X-Y (plane) of the TH550 and +/- 0.03 mm for the TH850. Z-axis (vertical) positioning repeatability for the TH550 is +/-0.01 mm and for the TH850 it is +/-0.02 mm.

Toshiba Machine's seven TH Series models feature larger payload masses and high rigidity, as well as varying arm lengths and performance benefits to meet specific requirements.
