OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS5H)

Picture a warehouse aisle at the end of a long shift: glossy stretch-wrapped pallets beside matt black crates, a polished floor catching the overhead lights, and a mobile robot threading its way through. To the robot, these surfaces are not equally easy to read. Some return a laser pulse cleanly, while others answer faintly or blur the edges of an object into a trailing smear of false points. The OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS5H) is built for that unglamorous reality. Its broad scanning arc, fine fixed angular steps and adjustable signal handling let an integrator tune what the robot believes it sees, rather than accepting a single factory compromise for every site.

Robots Middle East supplies the OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS5H) to robot builders, system integrators and operators across the Middle East. Robots Middle East prepares each quotation, arranges delivery to your site and supports the scanner after installation, so that your engineering team works with one point of contact from the first enquiry onwards.

Background

OLEI and the LR-1BS5 series

The LR-1BS5H belongs to OLEI's LR-1BS5 family of laser scanners, a line that also includes the LR-1BS5+ and sits alongside the LR-1BS2. OLEI positions the LR-1BS5 series for a range of industries, naming robotics, security and surveillance, industrial automation and smart logistics. On this network the scanner is listed within the SEER Robotics robot-building range, where it serves as a perception component for mobile platforms rather than as a finished robot. Each member of the family carries its own specification, and the figures on this page refer to the LR-1BS5H alone.

Signal handling as the key technology

What sets the LR-1BS5H apart is less the geometry of its sweep than the control it gives over the returning signal. The weak signal threshold is user-settable, so the strength below which a return is discarded can be adjusted to suit the environment. A built-in multi-level filtering algorithm, which the customer can configure as needed, addresses tailing: the stray points that tend to appear along the edges of objects. Together, these two settings turn the scanner from a fixed instrument into one that can be calibrated to the surfaces, lighting and clutter of a particular site.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the power consumption, the contents of the box, the operating humidity or the output interface types; Robots Middle East confirms these at quotation.

How does the LR-1BS5H cope with difficult surfaces and cluttered sites?

Most navigation problems with laser scanners do not arise in open, well-lit spaces. They arise where surfaces are dark, reflective or irregular, and where objects sit close together. The LR-1BS5H approaches these conditions in three complementary ways.

The first is the weak signal threshold. On a site full of low-reflectivity materials, a threshold set too high can make genuine obstacles disappear from the scan, while one set too low can admit noise. Because the threshold is user-settable, an integrator can strike the balance for each deployment rather than working around a fixed value.

The second is filtering. Tailing, where a smear of points trails behind the edge of an object, can confuse both mapping and obstacle detection. The scanner's multi-level filtering algorithm is built in and configurable, so the degree of correction can match the application: stronger where clean edges matter most, lighter where every return is needed.

The third is the data itself. With a maximum point cloud density of 40k/s and each point carrying azimuth, distance and reflection intensity, the navigation software receives more than simple distances. Reflection intensity in particular gives the software additional information when separating one surface from another.

Underlying all three is consistent geometry. The angular resolution is fixed at 0.225°, and the horizontal plane error of ±1° helps to keep the scanning plane level so that the horizontal scanning distance is maintained across the arc.

What do the certifications and protection class mean for deployment?

For buyers in the region, compliance and robustness often decide whether a component can be specified at all. The LR-1BS5H carries FCC, EMC, CE, RoHS, REACH and FDA certification, which simplifies documentation for projects that must demonstrate conformity in procurement or safety reviews. The protection class is IP65, with other classes available as an option, which is relevant where robots operate in dusty warehouses, semi-outdoor yards or facilities that are washed down. Where a project requires a protection class other than IP65, Robots Middle East can raise the optional configuration with the manufacturer as part of the quotation.

Who is the OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS5H) for?

The LR-1BS5H is primarily for engineers who build or adapt mobile robots and need a scanner suited to SLAM navigation and point cloud obstacle avoidance. Developers of autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles for manufacturing will find it a natural fit for platforms of the kind listed under Factory Robots, where robots share space with machinery, racking and people.

Integrators working in warehousing and distribution form a second group. Mixed packaging, reflective wrapping and dense storage are precisely the conditions in which adjustable thresholds and filtering earn their place, and robots of the kind found under Logistics Robots are a typical host platform.

A third group consists of security and surveillance system builders, and teams in industrial automation who need a wide arc of coverage around a machine or a perimeter. Research groups and university laboratories developing navigation algorithms may also value access to reflection intensity alongside distance and azimuth.

Buyers comparing options within the OLEI range may also wish to review the OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS2). Robots Middle East can help you compare the published datasheets of both models against the requirements of your project before you commit to either.

What is the OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS5H) used for?

1. SLAM navigation: supplying the scan data that a mobile robot uses to build a map and locate itself within it.
2. Point cloud obstacle avoidance: detecting objects in the robot's path so that the planner can slow, stop or reroute.
3. Warehouse and smart logistics: guiding robots through aisles of mixed, reflective and dark-coloured goods.
4. Factory automation: giving material-handling robots awareness of machinery, racking and personnel on the shop floor.
5. Security and surveillance: monitoring a wide arc around a protected area or a patrolling platform.
6. Robot development and research: providing configurable, intensity-rich data for testing navigation and perception software.

Summary

The aisle at the end of the shift, with its glossy wrap, dark crates and gleaming floor, is where a navigation sensor proves its worth. The OLEI Laser / Camera (LR-1BS5H) meets that test with a 270-degree sweep, fixed 0.225° angular steps, a level scanning plane and point data that includes reflection intensity, and then goes further by letting the integrator set the weak signal threshold and the filtering against tailing. Backed by a broad set of certifications and an IP65 protection class with optional alternatives, it is a scanner that can be calibrated to the site rather than one that leaves the site to be worked around. Robots Middle East supplies, delivers and supports it across the region. For a robot that must read every surface it meets, this page is the starting point.
