Mara Laser is a business activity that for over 30 years has been analyzing, producing and marketing laser and GPS controlled laser levelling machines, calling on buyers in about 30 states all over the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can reach significant results in different areas of utility: from agricoltural ground to sport facilities, 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 functioning speed regime, 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 acquired all over the world witness this. Laser and GPS system technologies give an unrivaled performance, mostly when they are used together.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that without stopping synchronize the height of the blade.
The laser leveller, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are parts of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is put on a tripod that examines the natural tilt of the land and communicates the signal to the receiver, which is instead located on the machine itself.
The laser beam, for its own characteristics, permits very high preciseness even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, located on these machines, returns an ideal planning for the leveller to follow while functioning.
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 type fo ground and receive the 360° signal, even though it could be low or experiences interference.
On the laser leveller, moreover, there is a control system to annul external interference. It lowers wind rumble, automatically captures the signal and settles the power of the tractor.
GPS system 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 represented 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 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, mostly when this technology is used to work on large parts with various inclinations, such as agricoltural ground and building constructions.
Integrated laser + GPS system
Mara Laser has produced and manufactured an integrated system that connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, the right one for tough land.
The higher preciseness of the laser signal shows the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the place of the leveller. Therefor, the Mara system can regulate the height of the tractor leveller and the place of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the land permits to highlight the parts that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the point where to start, and the best way that enables to do the greatest job 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 key increase of the arable parts. They enable a reduction in the amount of water used, they can provide more abundant harvest, a considerable reduction of chemicals used, as well as seeds. The lowering in work hours, besides, 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 annul cavities and gaps that would, later, be filled with concrete. The lowering of work hours and the possibility of obtaining a perfect inclinatoin for water to flow down, are other plus that make these machines worthy and priceless 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 hours, 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 utilized very well in this area as it makes possible to level even existing areas, repairing slope without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the preciseness, contained size and easy handling of Mara laser levelling machines, 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 assured. - Laser grader machines for roads:
in this area, important results are reached thanks to the skills 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 key plus, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
