This word appears above a diagram describing the design of a crankshaft production line. The original phrase is 高速ケーブルベアレスオートローダー.

The image is followed by:

自由なライン構築が可能
ケーブルベアレスのため、キャリッジの増設や走行距離の拡張も容易です。

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  casey: I think this one is most likely.
1 hr
  -> Thanks
agree  Roger Johnson: what the hell does it mean?? Its beyond me?
7 hrs
  -> Thanks. Instead of a conveyor belt, this conveys things along by cable or sometimes even by chain.
agree  sigmalanguage: Not 100% sure, but yes, this is most likely. Do they want to say it is easier to lengthen the conveyor run with their cableveyorless mechanism?
20 hrs
  -> Thanks you. And yes, I believe you're right. As I understand it, it's both easier to attach carriage(s?) and/or lengthen the run of whatever mechanism/apparatus is used in lieu of the cableveyor.
agree  V N Ganesh
20 hrs
  -> Thanks as always, VN.
agree  Maynard Hogg: But the Koduct page very carefully adds "cable chain" each time.
1 day 1 hr
  -> Thank you. Yes, "(cable chain)" (parenthesis theirs). English on page isn't quite native. When I first saw that, wondered if they meant "(conveyor, chain)", as they do have at the top of page. In any event, "Cableveyor" seems to be standard industry term.

Without cable - (con)veyor


Explanation:
ケーブルベアレスのため、キャリッジの増設や走行距離の拡張も容易です。
As the subsequent statement clarifies that, (because this structure is without cableveyor) it is easy to extend the run distance or increase the no. of carrages (carriers).

Explanation:
Stumbled across this online just now and thought I would respond.
I am actually the company translator for Tsubakimoto Chain Co. 「ケーブルベヤ」is Cableveyor, our brand name for a cable carrier, also referred to as a drag chain. When the product was first introduced to Japan decades ago from Kabelschlepp (Germany), it was sold under our brand name Cableveyor. As commented, the name itself comes from "cable" and "conveyor." It is NOT a conveyor in the traditional sense, however; rather, it is a cable & hose protection system. Examples of use would include protecting cables & hoses from damage in moving systems, protection from hot chips in machining centers, and so on.
For a long time Tsubaki was virtually the only retailer of this product in Japan, so the name 「ケーブルベヤ」 for a cable carrier stuck in everyone's mind, and has become common parlance. Therefore, a 「ケーブルベアレス」 or 「ケーブルベヤレス」 system would simply be something without a cable carrier (Cableveyor). An example would be a machining center that traditionally uses a cable carrier for cable/hose protection NOT using a cable carrier (new design, cost reduction measure, etc.).
Hope that clears things up!
