An automatic manipulator, such as a multiaxial industrial robot, with a
carrying component structure (support structure) for transmitting forces
between individual members of the automatic manipulator. The entire
support structure is formed from a material that is inert with respect to
external effects, such as moisture or the like. The material of the
support structure may be, in particular, a material that is suitable for
use in contact with foods, such as stainless steel, so that the automatic
manipulator according to the present invention can be used reliably and
without additional costly protective measures in environments in which
there is a risk for contamination, such as in the food industry.
