Mara Laser is a business company that for 30 years and more has been examining, producing and marketing laser and GPS controlled laser levellers, turning towards buyers in about 30 nations everywhere in the world.
Thanks to GPS and laser control technologies, we can get to important results in different sectors of use: from agricoltural ground to sportsground, from building constructions to road excavations, from landscaping to soil scraping.
Mara’s levellers ensure a series of advantages and high productivity in more than one situations: from the machine running speed regime, to a total trustworthiness and guarantee of the final success.
Mara’s technology
The technology used by Mara is what makes it unbeatable, and the results acquired all over the world witness this. Laser and GPS receiver technologies provide an unrivaled performance, in particular when they are combined.
Laser technology
Laser technology is applied to the levellers in a way that without stopping synchronize the height of the blade.
The laser levelling machine, the laser beam transmitter and the laser beam receiver are the elements of the laser control system for levelling.
The transmitter is positioned 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, beacuse of its internal characteristics, enables very high accuracy even over long land portions. After picking up the signal, a technologically perfectioned rotating pentaprism, positioned on these machines, gives back an ideal program for the leveller to follow while running.
The receiver also has an important role, 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 type fo ground and receive the 360° signal, though it could be poor or experiences interference.
On the laser levelling machine, moreover, there is a control system to annul external interference. It cuts wind sound, automatically intercepts the signal and sets the power of the tractor.
GPS receiver 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 adopt this technology, perceive the laser signal from the satellites: even in this situation the program is illustrated by the signal and reproduced on the land.
Nowadays, thanks to technological advancement 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 beacuse of the periodic change of constellation of the satellites.
In any case, the minor accuracy is compensated by the wide adaptability of use, in particular when this technology is used to work on large land sections 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 connects the precision of laser technology with the potential of GPS, suitable for harsh land.
The higher accuracy of the laser signal represents the plan within a radius of 1300 meters, while the GPS system communicates the precise spot of the leveller. Hence, the Mara system can settle the height of the tractor leveller and the precise spot of the blade itself.
The creation of the 3D map of the land enables to highlight the land sections that has to be scraped, the loading areas, the starting point, and the best way that enables to do the greatest job possible, with both the tractor and the leveller in the right position.
Hence, the operator will have instant instructions through the constant updating of the data by the system.
Fields of application
The important accuracy and adaptability 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 benefits secure a key increase of the arable land sections. They permits a reduction in the amount of water used, an increased production, a less use of chemicals, as well as seeds. The lowering 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 reduced 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 an absolute perfect inclinatoin for water to flow down, are other benefits that make these machines incomparable and priceless in this fields. - Laser levelling machines for earth-moving:
the fine 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 inclination, 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 sectors, repairing soil depressions without replacing the lawn. - Laser levelling machines for greenhouses:
thanks to the accuracy, reduced size and easy handling of Mara laser levellers, it is also feasible 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 reached thanks to the capability 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 key benefits, for example specialized labor is no longer necessary, besides to the fact that the use of fine materials is reduced.
