The interim examination and maintenance (IEM) cell at the Fast Flux Test Facility contains two large electromechanical manipulators (EMMs), the pedestal and wall-mounted manipulators (PMM and WMM) with 136 and 68 kg of capacity, respectively. Since their installation, the EMMs have been essential for cell maintenance and operation. A significant percentage of the total cell maintenance effort has been required to keep the WMM and PMM operational. Since June 1981, 142 maintenance requests were written for the EMMs, an average of 34 per year. The EMM's were manufactured by an outside vendor specifically for the IEM cell. The EMMs underwent acceptance testing at the IEM cell after initial installation and trouble shooting were performed by Westinghouse Hanford Company and the vendor. As a consequence, the requirements of the specification were fully met. The paper is a summary of the IEM cell's EMM operation and maintenance experience.
