Mara Laser is a business activity that for over 30 years has been examining, making and trading laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, calling on clients in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can reach significant results in many sectors of use: from agricultural soil to sport courts, 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 operating speed regime, to a total trustworthiness and guarantee of the final success.
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 give an unrivaled performance, mostly when they are combined.
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 inclination of the land and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead positioned on the machine itself.
The laser beam, as it is one of its own characteristics, permits very high preciseness even over long land portions. After getting the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, positioned on these machines, gives back an ideal program 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, even if it could be low or it is subjected to interference.
On the laser leveller, besides, there is a control system to remove external interference. It decreases wind sound, automatically captures the signal and sets the power of the tractor.
GPS system technology
GPS technology, after all, is used to set the position of the laser leveller and the height of the blade.
The levellers, that adopt this technology, get the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the program is illustrated by the signal and reproduced on the land.
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 poorer 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 poorer preciseness is compensated by the wide adaptability of use, mostly when this technology is used to work on large land portions with more than one 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 tough land.
The higher preciseness of the laser signal represents the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the location of the leveller. Therefor, the Mara system can set the height of the tractor leveller and the location of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the land permits to highlight the land portions that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the section where to begin, and the best route that allows to make the best work possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Therefor, the operator will have immediate 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 assure their use in more than one fields:
- Laser levelling machines for agriculture:
Mara’s laser levellers, among the many plus assure a important increase of the arable land portions. 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, furthermore, makes the use of these machines a sure investment. - Laser levelling machines for construction:
Mara Laser gives a perfect precision to obtain ground floors with very contained deflections (max 4 mm) and to remove cavities and gaps that would, later, 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 worthy and incomparable in this fields. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the first-rate performance of the Mara levellers permits to move large amount 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 inclination, are achieved. - Laser levelling machine for sportsground:
this type of technology can be utilized very well in this area as it makes possible to level even existing sectors, repairing slope without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the preciseness, 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 inclination and also a fabulous aesthetic result are ensured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this area, important results are achieved thanks to the capacity of the Mara’s laser graders to perform the same job as the motor grader, with poorer 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.
