Mara - Laser Levelers

Grader for horse riding tracks

Mara Laser is a business activity that for over 30 years has been analyzing, making and trading laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, turning towards clients in about 30 nations all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to considerable results in different sectors of utility: from agricoltural ground to sportsground, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of returns and high productivity in more than one situations: from the machine running speed regime, to a total trustworthiness 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 testify this. Laser and GPS system 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 levelling machine, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are parts of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is positioned on a tripod that sees the natural gradient of the soil and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead put on the machine itself.
The laser beam, as it is one of its internal characteristics, enables very high accuracy even over long land portions. After getting the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, put on these machines, gives back an ideal planning for the leveller to follow while running.
The receiver also plays a very important part, because it correctly reads the laser light received from the transmitter, through special photodiodes. The receivers, made 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 poor or it goes through interference.
On the laser levelling machine, moreover, there is a control system to annul external interference. It cuts wind rumble, automatically captures the signal and settles the power of the tractor.

GPS system technology

GPS technology, after all, is used to settle the position of the laser levelling machine and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that implement 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 progress and the use of dedicated software, an accuracy of ± 10 mm has been reached up, even though this technology offers minor accuracy than laser technology: GPS systems are subject to fluctuations as it is one of the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the minor accuracy is compensated by the wide elasticity of use, in particular when this technology is used to work on large parts with more than one inclinations, such as agricoltural ground and building constructions.

Integrated laser + GPS system

Mara Laser has created and made an integrated system that matches the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, suitable for harsh soil.
The higher accuracy of the laser signal shows the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the location of the leveller. Thus, the Mara system can settle the height of the tractor leveller and the location of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the soil enables to highlight the parts that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the section where to begin, and the best way that allows to make the best work possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Thus, the operator will have instant instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.

Fields of application

The considerable accuracy and elasticity of the levellers made by Mara Laser secure their use in more than one fields:

  • Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
    Mara’s laser levellers, among the different plus secure a important increase of the arable parts. They permits a reduction in the amount of water used, an increased production, a considerable reduction of chemicals used, as well as seeds. The decrease in work times, besides, makes the use of these machines a sure investment.
  • Laser levelling machines for construction:
    Mara Laser provides an absolute perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very contained deflections (max 4 mm) and to annul cavities and gaps that would, later, be filled with concrete. The decrease of work times and the possibility of obtaining an absolute perfect slope for water to flow down, are other plus that make these machines incomparable and priceless in this fields.
  • Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
    the superbe performance of the Mara levellers enables to move large amount of soil very quickly and with low power. In this way, shorter work times, lower costs and greater accuracy in creating the horizontal plan and gradient, are attained.
  • Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
    this type of technology can be utilized 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 accuracy, contained size and easy handling of Mara laser levellers, it is also doable to work for the maintenance of green spaces. In this way, the right gradient and also a great aesthetic result are assured.
  • Laser grader machines for roads:
    in this field, important results are attained thanks to the skills of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with minor costs and more convenient times. In addition, there are important plus, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, on top to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
