Mara Laser is a business company that for over 30 years has been examining, producing and trading laser and GPS controlled levellers, calling on clients in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to significant results in different sectors of utility: from agricultural soil to sportsground, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to ground scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high productivity in various situations: from the machine operating velocity, to a total affidability and assurance of the result.
Mara’s technology
The technology used by Mara is what makes it unique, and the results obtained all over the world are proof of this. Laser and GPS receiver technologies provide an unique performance, in particular when they are used together.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that continually synchronize the height of the blade.
The laser leveller, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are the elements of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is located on a tripod that examines the natural tilt of the soil and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead mounted on the machine itself.
The laser beam, for its internal characteristics, permits very high preciseness even over long land portions. After obtaining the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, mounted on these machines, returns an ideal planning for the leveller to follow while operating.
The receiver also has an important role, because it correctly reads the laser light received from the transmitter, through special photodiodes. The receivers, manufactured by Mara Laser, guarantee the levellers will be able to work on any kind of ground and receive the 360° signal, though it could be low or it is subjected to interference.
On the laser leveller, besides, there is a control system to annul external interference. It decreases wind rumble, automatically intercepts the signal and regulates the power of the tractor.
GPS receiver technology
GPS technology, after all, is used to regulate the position of the laser leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, perceive the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the planning is defined by the signal and reproduced on the soil.
Lately, thanks to technological advancement and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been reached up, even though this technology offers less accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations for the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the less preciseness is compensated by the wide adaptability of use, in particular when this technology is used to work on large land sections with various inclinations, such as agricultural soil and building constructions.
Integrated laser + GPS system
Mara Laser has produced and manufactured an integrated system that adds the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, perfect for harsh soil.
The higher preciseness of the laser signal lays out the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the precise spot of the leveller. Therefor, the Mara system can regulate the height of the tractor leveller and the precise spot of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the soil permits to highlight the land sections that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the starting point, and the best route that enables to make the best work possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Therefor, the operator will have instant instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The significant preciseness and adaptability of the levellers manufactured by Mara Laser secure their use in various fields:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the different plus secure a important increase of the arable land sections. They enable a reduction in the amount of water used, they can provide more abundant harvest, a less use of chemicals, as well as seeds. The lowering in work times, moreover, makes the use of these machines a sure investment. - Laser levelling machines for construction:
Mara Laser provides a perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very contained deflections (max 4 mm) and to annul cavities and gaps that would, afterwords, be filled with concrete. The lowering of work times and the possibility of obtaining a perfect slope for water to flow down, are other plus that make these machines incomparable and incomparable in this fields. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the fine performance of the Mara levellers permits to move large quantity of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work times, lower costs and greater preciseness in creating the horizontal plan and tilt, are reached. - Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
this type of technology can be used very well in this field as it enables to level even existing sectors, repairing soil depressions without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the preciseness, contained size and easy handling of Mara levellers, it is also feasible to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right tilt and also a great aesthetic result are secured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this field, important results are reached thanks to the capability of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with less costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are important plus, for example specialized labor is no longer needed, on top to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
