A manipulator, such as a multiaxial industrial robot ( 1 ), particularly for use in contamination-endangered environments, is provided with a plurality of scavenging areas ( 1.8 a , 1.8 b) to which a scavenging medium can be supplied and located in the vicinity of the drive unit of the manipulator, characterized in that according to the invention a plurality of groups of drive units has in each case its own scavenging area ( 1.8 a , 1.8 b) associated with it. Thus, the invention creates a method for influencing at least one ambient condition, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, contamination and/or bacterial presence, in the vicinity of the drive units of a manipulator. This reliably ensures a safe operation of the inventive manipulator ( 1 ), even in areas with strict hygiene requirements.
