Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IFM EY5010 2X-THROUGH-BEAM-SENSORS is a muting arm set designed for crossbeam muting applications in industrial machine-safety and automation systems. It incorporates two through-beam photoelectric sensors for controlled detection of materials passing through a safeguarded area.
The system uses infrared through-beam sensing technology. The two sensors are positioned crosswise so that their sensing beams intersect. For the intended crossbeam muting sequence, both beams are interrupted simultaneously by the transported material. This arrangement is suitable for applications where goods need to pass through a protected machine area while the compatible safety system performs the required muting function.
The set provides a monitoring range of less than 2.5 m and an IP65 protection rating. It is designed for an ambient temperature range of -30 °C to +55 °C, supporting use in suitable industrial environments.
The electrical supply range is 19.2–28.8 V DC, with approximately 120 mA total current consumption. The system also provides reverse-polarity, short-circuit and overload protection.

The muting arm set is designed to provide controlled object detection for crossbeam muting applications. The two through-beam sensors are positioned crosswise, creating intersecting detection beams. Both beams are intended to be interrupted simultaneously by suitable goods during the defined muting sequence.
The less-than-2.5 m monitoring range provides installation flexibility for suitable machine entrances, exits and material-transfer points.
The IP65 protection rating supports use in suitable industrial environments where protection against dust and water jets is required within the specified conditions.
The -30 °C to +55 °C operating temperature range provides flexibility for a variety of factory and machine environments.
The crossbeam arrangement uses two through-beam photoelectric sensors positioned so that their detection beams intersect.
For the intended application, suitable goods must interrupt both beams simultaneously. This configuration can help distinguish the intended material movement from other objects or movements around the protected machine entrance.
Correct sensor positioning and muting configuration are essential and must follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and the requirements of the complete safety system.
The muting arm set can be combined with compatible safety light curtains or safety light grids as part of a complete machine-safety installation.
The sensors provide the detection arrangement required for suitable material-transfer applications, allowing the compatible safety system to distinguish intended goods movement from conditions requiring continued protective detection.
The complete safety installation must be designed, configured and validated according to applicable machine-safety requirements.
The set is suitable for applications where materials or goods need to pass into or out of a safeguarded machine area.
Typical applications include automated production lines, conveyor entrances and exits, pallet handling areas and machine loading or unloading points where controlled muting is required.
The sensors can be positioned at suitable points along conveyor systems to detect appropriately positioned goods as they pass through the muting area.
This can support integration with compatible safety-control systems used in automated material handling and production processes.
The muting arm set can be used at suitable machine loading and unloading points where materials need to enter or leave a safeguarded zone.
